hello everyone,

the other day a friend of mine was curious to see the numbers to jericho as she was wondering how it compared to her favorite show, supernatural in terms of average amount of viewers. below are two links, and after seeing the difference in numbers, i want to yell at the top of my lungs: WHAT THE HECK!?

this first link is for jericho's stats (updated weekly)

and now for supernatural:

the numbers speak for themselves there, and as for interesting facts:

this show exported really well in australia at least, as although the show is egocentric the issue it deals with is not. here comes along a refreshing honestly suspenseful drama that is intelligent in both scripting and acting, and we are insulted by having it off the air again.

as a big fan of jericho, i have trouble understanding why CBS is pulling the plug especially considering it was consistently getting over half the viewer share each episode!

place it against a (one would assume) higher production cost of a show like Supernatural which brings in less viewers on the CW, makes you wonder why Supernatural is on the air while Jericho is getting axed...

for good measure lets see another few station ratings:

FOX:

NOTE: jericho would be somewhere in the middle

CW
http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/03/04/top-cw-primetime-shows-feb-25-mar-2/2833
NOTE: jericho would be their biggest draw.

think about it, tell me what you think or if you can answer this:

So why the %&&% is this show getting cancelled?

66  out of 67 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
