Save JERICHO!?!
 

I know that these petitions never work, but Aint-It-Cool.com has an article that has a few ways to petitons CBS to bring back Jericho. If you are interested in giving it a try click HERE

If I were involved in this effort, I wouldn't want CBS near the show. I'd be trying to deluge somebody like SciFi with calls, trying to get them to pick it up.

Have ANY petitions ever brought a show back after it was cancelled? I'm guessing not. The strongest way to support a show is financially. Purchasing it on DVD or watching it on television. Signing your name shows absolutely nothing. About 7-8 million people watched it each week. Unless you can get 10-11 million signatures, it won't mean a thing.

Family Guy was brought back after strong sales on DVD, I believe, and re-runs on Cartoon Network. Not petitions.

I would think for a live action show like Jericho, by the time the DVDs are out, it would be much harder to get everyone back together. This would be the time to get them before it's too late.

Sounds like a waste of time to me.

Roswell comes to mind. Farscape got the wrap up movie.

Quantum Leap?

Fox's ALIEN NATION. Didn't get another season, but a series of 2 hour movies that were just as good (I think they did 5 total).

I'm guessing those were letter writing campaigns. I don't even think they should include an online petition with the Jericho thing, because a lot of people will simply just sign the online petition and think they've done their part. The thing is, CBS knows that about 8 million people watched Jericho. They know those people probably want the show to continue. So having 100,000 online signatures really means nothing, because they are well aware that the show had millions of viewers that would like it to continue.

However, I do think letter writing campaigns would be the most persuasive thing, if anything would work. Taking the time to write and mail a letter, hundreds of thousands of letters (or millions), would seem to show more care and effort on the part of the fans.

The petition is already over 52k names.

Also, remember. Star Trek got a 3rd season because of fan support.

Seantn is correct -- I did read somewhere where studios take mailed written letters far more "seriously" than e-mails or online petitions...I guess because it takes a little more effort to actually write out a letter, put it in an envelope and mail it off. And at 41 cents a pop these days, maybe they give them even more weight!

Hit CBS with 52,000 letters, and you guys may have something....

Yes i agree, even with 1 million e-signatures, an online petition looks pathetic,but huge mailbags full of written hatred looks powerful.

I'd love to see a 4 hour wrap up mini series.

I signed the petition. I can't hurt. Unless Les Moonves comes to my house and kills me.

Signed. Will write a letter as well.

Rumor has it that TNT is interested in the show. Even if they retain a fraction of the numbers it got on CBS it would be good for them.

I'll sign a petition for Quantum Leap, but not Jericho.

Signed. Can we do one to bring back Small Wonder now?

1967 was a long time ago, and letter writing campaigns (even those secretly arranged by the show's producers) and protests outside corporate offices were a new idea.

Star Trek

I demand a season two of Jack & Bobby.

And an update from CBS posted on the AICN link in the first post of this thread:

It's a show they loved so much that they are going to cancel it and replace it with a reality show about kids running their own town? The only way that would be better is if it went all Lord of the Flies and some of the kids ended up dead.

Read: a one paragraph blurb on the website explaining what happened. "New Bern killed them all, then the military killed all the New Bern people. Then the bomb somehow went off. The End".

SPOILERS!!!! :mad2:

Throw it on UPN, my DVR never visits that channel
