Are they airing in order? If so, count me in!

DJariya

They are airing all 22 episodes on Friday's for the remainder of the summer.

Goldberg74

Cool! I'll watch. See what all the hub-bub is about.

rfduncan

Same. What was that thread about a mini second season? Is that happening?

DVD Josh

Yes it is.

Jadzia

I had dropped this show after about 3-4 episodes last fall, but I heard it got better. I think I will try watching it again. My summer viewing schedule is not as crowded.

Groucho

It doesn't get good until the second half of the season. Before that, it's laughably bad. It's like two different shows, day and night.

aktick

Well to be fair, there ARE about 2 minutes of good material each ep in the 1st half...

I honestly fast forwarded through all of the scenes in the 1st half with the brother and pregnant wife and bartender, farmer and IRS chick, and stupid ass Dale. Just watch the scenes with Jake, Major Dad...err, George Hearst...err, Johnston, and Hawkins. You'll keep your sanity, and won't miss any of the real plot development.

Due to various issues, I only got to see the first 4 or 5 episodes. I can't wait to see how it plays out.

Geofferson

I too dropped out after a handful of episodes. I'll be sure to catch theses encore airings of season 1 due to the word-of-mouth that the second half was indeed better and knowing its picked up for a (mini) season 2 (will at least offer some closure).

Thanks for the heads-up!

lotsofdvds

Add me to the group that bailed on the show after too much teenager drama over sodas and the local feed store.

But I too will give it a second chance.

Chew

Oh, all right....add me as well to the list of "bailed early and will give it another chance".

Just as long as CBS doesn't screw this up like FOX did a few summers ago with their 24 replay that skipped some episodes.

Red Dog

There are more than a few Jericho eps that you could skip and not miss a beat.

DJariya

Yeah there were a few mediocre episodes, but overall it was a solid season. Hawkins is one of the most fascinating and mysterious characters I have ever seen on TV. He alone is worth watching the entire season.

Another good episode to watch was the prequel episode in the middle of the season that tracked the events leading up to the bomb.

Timber

I bailed a few episodes before the break but then started up again when it returned. I sort of want to see what I missed on those 2 or so episodes. I know the old bag died and they got the tank but I never actually saw the execution.

rw2516

If you have Comcast they offer the episodes ON DEMAND. Commercial free.

DJariya

Okay...someone on the CBS message board, who says he works at a CBS affiliate, posted an update to the Jericho scheduling. This scheduling may actually work for some of you who prefer to skip some of the fluff episodes of the 1st half. Again, this is not an official statement about this scheduling, but it appears to be real.

Herewith firm order on the return of JERICHO as noted above.

JERICHO returns to the schedule on Fridays, 9:00-10:00pm cnyt/cpt effective July 6, 2007. A rebroadcast of the special recap episode RETURN TO JERICHO will air on Friday, 8:00-9:00pm cnyt/cpt on July 13, 2007.



So it appears the pilot will be broadcasted July 6th, then on July 13th the Jericho 1st half recap episode will air at 8pm and then CBS will air Episode 11 at 9pm. Then CBS will air the remaining 10 episodes every week afterwards. Seems like their isn't enough weeks to air all 22 episodes.

IMO, the recap episode is actually an excellent summary of the 1st 11 episodes.

Quake1028

Well that's very disappointing news. I guess I'll wait for the DVD then.

DJariya

It's actually not a horrible scenario like what 24 did last summer. The recap episode that was narrated by Lennie James (Hawkins) is actually a really good and thorough recap of the 1st half.

Quake1028

It might be, but I would still rather see all of the episodes for myself.

rfduncan

Yeah - weak. I supposed I could use Television Without Pity to catch up but those recaps can get tedious when they're for hour shows and run upside of 22 pages.

Damn, I was looking forward to watching the entire series... I mean its summer, CBS could easily have Jericho on for two-hours friday nights...

rfduncan

Thanks - all said and done though I'm either going to watch it in HD or not at all. The fullscreen version on the net is helli-blurry.
