That's a nice video. What song is that and who sings it it's a good song.

That's probably because UPN hasn't existed for almost a year.

<u>from NY Times - May 29, 2007:</u>

<i>Soon after CBS said this month that it had canceled the drama series "Jericho," angry fans started sending individual bags of nuts to executives at the network's offices in New York and Los Angeles as a protest.
Then the nuts started arriving in bulk, sometimes by the truckload. It turned out that fans, some of whom started a "Save Jericho" petition drive, had also found an Internet nut seller called NutsOnline.
"When I saw the first several orders, I thought it might be credit card fraud or a prank," said Jeffrey Braverman, head of NutsOnline. "Then I checked it out and found it was real, so I changed the site to give the fans a chance to pool their money for an order."
With the help of a "Save Jericho" section on the NutsOnline Web site, fans began combining their contributions (which averaged $10) and last Wednesday alone more than two tons of nuts were sent to CBS. The next day, Mr. Braverman, 26, and his uncle drove the company's black van from Linden, N.J., to Manhattan to personally deliver 1,000 pounds. By the weekend, nearly 10 tons of roasted peanuts and other nuts had arrived on CBS's doorstep.
"We are impressed by the creativity of their campaign," said Chris Ender, a CBS spokesman in Los Angeles (which received far fewer nuts than Manhattan). But so far executives haven't changed their decision about the show, he said.
The nuts are meant not only as a commentary on the mindset of the executives who canceled "Jericho," but also as a reference to one of the show's closing lines. In the May 16 finale, lead character Jake Green, played by the actor Skeet Ulrich, was told to surrender his rural Kansas town to a hostile neighboring settlement. His one-word response, "Nuts," is similar to the defiant retort uttered by General Anthony McAuliffe to a German demand for surrender during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944.
This isn't the first time disgruntled fans have used food to protest a canceled series. In 2002, viewers of the science fiction series "Roswell" sent WB executives thousands of bottles of Tabasco sauce, a condiment favored by the show's aliens.
Mr. Ender said that CBS would donate the nuts to food banks, the Bronx Zoo and Staten Island Project Homefront, which sends care packages to troops overseas.
That outcome pleases Mr. Braverman, who has never seen "Jericho," but has been struggling to roast enough peanuts to fill the orders. When he is done, he said, "I'm going to find the back episodes and watch them."</i> ELIZABETH OLSON

I just don't get what CBS is thinking... Ratings were good before the obligatory winter hiatus...They bring it back (after about 12 weeks I might add) with no advertisement and put it against of all shows American Idol... What did they expect it to do ??? The ratings fell off and they are saying 8.5 million viewers are not enough. But they turn around and put another damn reality show involving kids in a Lord of The Flies scenario. I am so pissed it isn't even funny. This was one of the 2 shows I watched on a consistent basis (Lost being the other). I hope the Jerichoholics clog up CBS with so many phonecalls, letters, and peanuts they reconsider...

:lol:

For the first week of May, Jericho had more viewers than the following shows...

Family Guy
Simpsons
American Dad
Medium
The Entire NBC Thursday Comedy Lineup
How I Met Your Mother
New Adventures of Old Christine
ER
The Unit
Dateline
20/20
America's Funniest Home Videos
Notes From the Underbelly
All the Law and Order shows

All these shows renewed, Jericho cancelled.

I hope that new kids show that is replacing Jericho completely and utterly bombs.

Yeah, but you can't compare it like that - the timeslot matters and the competition it goes up against it matters. For example, look at the competition that the NBC Thursday comedy lineup goes up against.

The fact is that Jericho couldn't pull 10M viewers in a weak timeslot - very little competition. If it aired in Survivor's timeslot, it would likely get crushed.

Very little competition... That's a JOKE !!! It ran against the number one show on TV head to head the whole second half of the season- I believe the show is called "American Idol"...Not one show would have beat it on any network...So get your facts straight before you say it was in a weak timeslot and was going against no one...

What did it pull in pre-Idol?

The whole second half of the season? The Idol results show aired from 9-10 on many Wednesdays.

In the spring, Jericho ran against Bones, Friday Night Lights, America's Next Top Model, and whatever ABC failed comedies.

Thank you, Patman. You must clearly not have your facts straight either. -rolleyes-

AI results show airing at 9 is what made ABC move Lost to 10.

After drawing a pretty solid 10.7 million viewers over its first 11 episodes in the fall, it fell off sharply after a long hiatus. The long hiatus, CBS not advertising at all for it, and American Idol simply killed it. It was starting to come around the last few episodes though.

It seems to me that even with all the publicity, nuts etc, CBS just isn't relenting on their stance in cancelling the show. Maybe they have already budgeted their fall season and just don't want to spend the millions of dollars to produce another season.

I think it did run against American Idol in some time zones, but not in others.

Not Eastern/Central. I imagine Pacific is all taped. Maybe Mountain, which is probably the least populated timezone and would have the least effect on ratings.

I'm waiting for some fan to suggest starting raising money to pay for Season 2...ala what was tried for "Enterprise". :)

:lol: That was funny.

What is it with the sci-fi or sci-fi-ish shows that seem to draw the most cancellation outrage?

The genre does not matter to me. I always hate it when something is canceled with an unresolved cliffhanger still dangling. I wouldn't have minded Jericho being canceled if the series had not ended on a cliffhanger and most of the loose ends tied up. Unresolved cliffhangers suck ass.

I think it has more to do with the personality type of people that watch sci-fi and has little to do with the genre.

I think I'm going to puke.

It's comparable to if somebody "canceled" the girlfriend of a regular person. They'd be outraged too (or so I imagine...sigh).

rotfl

Something about "fans of sci-fi" and "girlfriend" just doesn't seem to mesh.
