Wow... if networks are going to cancel serialized shows that are even doing well, there's absolutely no incentive to start watching them. That's nuts.
(I'm not fan of Jericho... I bailed after 4 episodes. But having followed it in the ratings threads, I wouldn't have even considered that it would get the ax.)

Just when Jericho starts getting good, they cancel it. Screw you CBS

Officially pissed dump Jericho which was good (it is ok for a show to take it slow sometimes), teeter back and forth on HIMYM which is great, the class which started boring but turned out to be good, yet you keep garbage like christine.

Yep, particularly for a Wednesday night show. It finished 2nd in it's timeslot but the competition in that slot is woefully pathetic.

The sad news is, after the hiatus, Jericho was really good. The first half was fairly weak.

Without spoilers, does Jericho come to some sort of closure at the end of season 1? Like Kidnapped, I would like to check this out on DVD.

I don't really buy it. Angel's ending was planned. This ending was obviously a cliff hanger. With the investment I've put in this show I feel cheated that it was finally becoming a good show and we get no conclusion.

Actually, CBS did. The first half of the season had soapy story lines because CBS demanded it. When it was not working the producers were able to go and do what they wanted and thus the show improved.

If we were in a different climate, I could almost see a move to NBC/Scifi. As it is, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were a viewer of the show. Sorry, guys.
