The Cast Speaks!
The Cast Speaks: Some members of the cast have left messages for the fans on the CBS boards. We not only fought for Jericho (the show) and ourselves, but also for these cast members & their jobs.
Keep in mind - these actors are still under contract. They were most likely limited as to what they could say. Please don't misinterpret what they are saying here. They want what we want - Jericho Back!

Alicia Coppola - Mimi (posted 5/21)
Dear All,
I just wanted to thank you all for your unending support and loyalty to Jericho. I am extremely grateful and fortunate to have had the honor of playing Mimi. I had an amazing time working on the show. It was simply one of the finest experiences of my career.
Much of the success of the show was due to all of you, our fans. I thank you very much again.

Dear Family, Friends and every one of you most wonderful Fans of Jericho,
First off I think I put this post in the wrong place when I posted it an hour ago...
I am not too computer savvy...so I thought I should put it here...
I don't quite know where to begin. The words "Thank you" don't quite seem to suffice,
in fact they pale in comparison to what I am thanking you for.
I was as Lennie said in his post, staggered by the response from all of you when
Jericho was cancelled.
I was even more moved by the sheer outpouring of support and the kindest words I
have ever heard from anyone(other than my husband, of course!)after my first posting.
I am now beyond impressed by what you all have accomplished. You have all,
with your ingenuity, class and dignity, given us, the cast and crew of this remarkable
show Jericho, a huge gift: the honor and privilege of being part of television history.
I am forever grateful to all of you and to everyone at CBS for this wonderful gift,
the effects of which reach farther and are felt more deeply than by just we who work
to bring Jericho to life, for this has affected the futures of our families and of our
children.
I cannot thank you enough for what you have given me.
Love,
Alicia Coppola

Bob Stephenson - Jimmy (posted 5/30)
So...I'm eating lunch with friends and suddenly someone walks by and plops a Hollywood Reporter on my table with a full back page ad that says - NUTS!
Are you kidding me?! You guys are F-ing fantastic! I'm sorry, I can't contain myself. What a group of fans!
When we started this show, none of us bunch'a rag-tag actors knew where it would lead. Awesome story - would anybody watch it? Great writers but would anybody care? The ONLY absolute fact was that we hit it off with one another right away. The actors, the producers, the writers, the incredible crew - as people working on a show - we became friends. It was something so very special.
And it's very clear now, that friendship includes you. The fans!
You see...to me, making a show is like playing on a team. If someone falls down in the middle of a scene, you pick'em back up. You don't watch them flail and fail or point at them and laugh. You get'em up and back in the fight. The whole is only as good as the sum of it's parts. It's a cliche, I know, but it fits.
So it's the bottom of the ninth, the 11th hour, the fat lady is warming up, it's nearly all she wrote...and here comes the rest of the team. The fans!
It's hard to believe that what we did day in and day out on Jericho meant so much to so many. We had so much fun doing it that when notified of the cancellation, a giant hole filled my heart - a giant, empty, ugly, black hole.
But, I can say after these few weeks, a hole no more! Watching this grass-roots movement, knowing that Jericho isn't a series forgotten, knowing that what we said every week entertained so many around the world... Wow. My heart has no hole, but rather, is filled with pride and a whole lot'a team love.
Thank you so much, brothers and sisters,
Bob Stephenson

Hello Jericho friends and family
I just wanted to let you all know how thankful I am of all of your kind words and support. I knew we had a good thing going on the show, but to see that other people felt the same way is truly amazing.
I had the greatest time working on Jericho. The cast and crew on the show was probably one of the greatest I will ever have the chance to work with. I don't think there was one person who ever came to set without a smile on their face. It was truly like a big family and I feel so fortunate to have been a part of it.
When the news came that we weren't going to return for a second season, I was completely bummed out. It was a very well written show and I just felt like we had so much more to put into it. I was really looking forward to where it was going to take us. Unfortunately, not everyone felt that way. When I heard about all the support our fans were giving us, I couldn't believe it! I had no idea so many people loved the show the way that we did. Reading so many of your posts really eases the pain. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your support. Jericho would be nothing without all of you. So, one last time, THANK YOU!!!
Sincerely,
Candace Bailey (Skylar Stevens)

We truly have the greatest fans on earth!!!!
I know a lot of people say that, but we can actually prove it!
I am so grateful to be part of such a great show and to have the amazing fans that we have! When I heard that we were cancelled, I really thought it was the end for this show. But because we have the GREATEST FANS EVER, you guys (and girls) did the unthinkable!!! You brought us back! I can't thank you enough!
I'm looking forward to going back to work and getting to be part of a family again. Please continue to fight for us and help bring us back for a whole season, if not more. ;) I have no doubt that you will....I thank you all for your kind words and
your persistence in bringing us back! It worked! Congrats to us all!!!! And thank you again, from the bottom of my heart! You can't even imagine what this means to me!

Darby Stanchfield - April (posted 6/4)
Jericho Lovelies!
Dr. April Green (Darby Stanchfield) here to say - I must join in with my fellow Jericho family to thank you all for such passion and enthusiasm with regards to supporting this show, Jericho. I am only reiterating what fellow cast members have said, that it has been such an HONOR and such a DELIGHT in being apart of the Jericho story. Working every day brought loads of laughter (and tears) and a true kindship and familial love amongst all - in front of and behind the camera. I left every day inspired by the generosity of the Jericho spirit.
And if ever given the opportunity for Jericho to continue, (and seeing that Dr. April Green is now dead,) I would flashback from the dead for you anytime, as an alien, an evil twin, a vision, or even a plain old bad dream... just to have the opportunity to play amongst such a truly astonishing group of family, friends and fans once again.
Jericho rocks,
with love,
the dead doc

David Meunier - Russell (posted 5/22)
Fellow fans and friends (remember, Russell likes Jericho)
It is so very difficult in this business to have the opportunity to be a part of something that may inspire, question, entertain, and remind us each of our humanity... your anger and frustration with the abandonment of just such an effort that was "Jericho" gives me hope!
While I tried - in my way - to prevent my town from waging war on your beloved Jericho, I can only imagine what might have been had I had you all at my side...
You are an inspiration.
These past several days have been quite a ride - full of disappointment and disillusionment. You see, while I had the pleasure, and honor, of going to work for a time with such a gracious and talented group of people... I too am like you - a fan! And thus, I feel doubly wounded...
While the "professional" in me -- in response to your undying support and love for our favorite show -- may simple say "Thank you!"... the "fan" in me says, "Nuts!".
Wishing us all well.
David Meunier

David Meunier - Russell (Thank You) (posted 6/8)
"I thought I could help the town, create a partnership..." (ep. 20)
Oh how you all have succeeded in a way that Russell could only dream of!
Hope and desire are curious and powerful things. And, in your history-making, you all have proven oh so beautifully how such things can indeed trump the predictable hands of logic and "reality". As I said in an earlier post, you are all, truly, an inspiration!
And still... while I am very very very very grateful to each of you for having saved my favorite show, I am in awe just imagining the greater possibilities we as a people can accomplish.
To quote one of my favorite dead guys, Emerson:
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us."
And while yes, each of you has made TV a better place... I like to think that with each of your passionate, persistent, creative, courageous, faithful, and forceful souls in the world, that it too is a better place.
For all your effort, and for all that you are, once again, I thank you!
Best,
David "Russell" Meunier

Erik Knudsen - Dale (posted 5/27)
To all the friends of Jericho,
I too was extremely disappointed with the cancellation of the show. Like the rest of the team, I was humbled and touched by the overwhelming diligence and dedication of the fans. I personally think we have witnessed something unique and special within the Jericho community. Jericho felt like home to me in every respect and it feels like you have become part of that extended family. Dale sure could have used your strength and support.
From the time I read the Jericho story board I knew I wanted to be involved with this show and felt truly honoured to land the role of Dale. I loved working with everybody involved. You could feel the passion and commitment on the set every day. I am sure that I am not the only one that will miss the camaraderie and fun we experienced daily.
This has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life to date and I would like to thank you from the bottom of heart for that.
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!

I would like to extend a special thank you to everyone responsible for the resurrection of Jericho. This is so cool. To see how everyone interacted to make this happen is awesome. It is truly history in the making. If Dale needs to stock up on nuts he will know where to go and I will be thinking of you when I am stocking the shelves. I wish I could say thank you in every language to acknowledge our international friends as well. You have made me very proud to be part of all of this.
Like you, I will be doing my best to keep Jericho alive.
Your friend,

Jennie Sword - Townsperson (posted 5/29)
Dear Friends and Fans,
My name is Jennie and I am one of the townspeople who had the pleasure of playing in the background on Jericho on a regular basis. I can often be spotted running around in what became a very filthy tan jacket of which one person once teased me about wearing all the time. Hmm…I wasn’t the only one. ;-) (I’ll truly miss you and everybody! xoxo)
I hope everyone here won’t mind hearing from a mere townie but how I feel about the show being canceled speaks volumes to how special it was working on it.
I fell into Jericho and now it’s been very sad for me to even think of letting go of it. There are a handful of us regulars that worked on the show because we knew we were part of something special and the most impressive thing to me is feeling a welcomed part of the Jericho family. The cast and crew are some of the most gifted, witty, friendly and genuinely kind spirited people I have ever worked with. Seeing everyone’s smiles always made my day. It was contagious! Everyone loved their work and when you love what you do, you put your heart and soul into it and it comes across in the final product. Every element was considered important to the storytelling right down to us townies who were encouraged to use our acting skills and not do the standard background crosses looking at our watches - that are stuck on 9:02 anyway. After all, our story uniquely centers around these townspeople. This experience has opened some amazing doors for me and I’ve formed some beautiful friendships.
You, the fans have been so beyond amazing in what you are doing; I’m awestruck. I’m humbled to be a small part of Jericho more than ever now that I see how beloved this show is to its fans. Jericho clearly has the best, most articulate and intelligent fans and I hope you persevere! I have never seen or heard of anything like this campaign and to think when we were out there shooting our last battle scene in “Why We Fight” how that would inspire a real course of action among such a vast group of strong willed people from all over the world! I knew when we shot that it was special, but I really had no idea how much!
Now you are true inspiration.
You are the Jericho Army.
And I hope that all of us can take something special about the human spirit with us from this experience. I may have been a small part of the show and you may be a small part of this campaign but we all do make the large difference in life - never lose heart in believing in yourself!
Jericho has clearly touched lives on deep levels. Thank you all for making Jericho so uniquely special to me.
Your Jericho Townie,
Jennie Sword

Jennie Sword - Townsperson (you did it!) (posted 6/8)
Hey fans! You guys did it!!!
Simply put, it is such beautiful, extraordinary, poetic, heart warming, and oh such sweetness in victory to all on so many levels! You made this about far more than Jericho and you made history. I feel honored to have been in your company. I just want to echo some of the posts I’ve seen from the cast thank you letters. They are so beautifully written and no one could have said it better than they did. I hope you (the cast) don’t mind my posting along with you. You guys rock! I’m so happy for you!
I want to congratulate all of the cast, crew and production on getting your opportunity to come back. It’s because of your amazing work and wonderful story telling and getting the chance with CBS to do that in the first place that started it all. I think you’ve finally been given the accolades you so deserve. Having had the chance to watch you work and work with you, I knew you had something special that had me coming back for more. My warmest congratulations to you all! I would gladly put my dirty jacket on again to finish that battle with New Bern beside you!
On a personal note to the many lovely people that posted replies to my post and even those who only read it; you made me feel so special. You knew what I meant and took to heart that no one in this world who comes together and speaks out and fights for something that is dear to them in no way makes yours a small part. Your voice makes all the difference. You are all the biggest people with the biggest of hearts in my book. Lennie is right, you have such class and organization and you deserve to feel proud of the parts you each play! I applaud you all. I want you to know that I’ve read each and every one of your posts to me and they meant so much, you have no idea – your sentiments touch me to tears of joy. Who knew a little townie would have so many people who could relate to her? Again, there are so many poetic parallels between the show and your cause and I was happy to relate to you all.
Thank you for showing me there are so many people with beautiful hearts in this world. It’s amazing to witness.
Warmest wishes to you,
Jennie Sword (Jericho Townsperson)

To our fans
I’m Jon Steinberg, one of the creators of Jericho. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has shown their support and appreciation for the show over the past season, and especially over the past week. I am both surprised and humbled to learn that our show will be so missed by so many.
To take a little idea for a show and watch it grow into something that has affected so many people has been a hugely exciting and fulfilling experience, and saying goodbye to it has been difficult. But I’m grateful for the time I got to spend with our incredible cast, crew and writing staff. I'm proud of the story we told. And I’m touched by the commitment you’ve all shown to it.
Thank you.

Kenneth Mitchell - Eric (posted 5/21)
Hello Jericho Fans...
I thought Eric being tortured by New Bern was difficult but having our show come to a close has been quite challenging emotionally. Working with CBS on Jericho has certainly been one of my favorite professional experiences. It was an absolute treat to go to work everyday and be apart of the Jericho family which extends out to you - the 9 million+ devoted fans that religiously tune in every week via a multitude of media outlets.
I really appreciate all your dedication and interest throughout the season. Your passion and enthusiasm over the last week has especially been overwhelming and touching. It's been a difficult time for the cast and crew but your response has warmed our souls.
I'm thrilled to witness that the themes of our show have resonated with you. Your recent rally has brought new meaning to the episodes "Why We Fight" and "Coalition of the Willing". I'm surprised Planters Peanuts hasn't called to do a cross promotion.
Though Eric morns the loss of his father he must be strong and soldier on with his brother in arms.
Thanks again for all the support.

To the family, friends, and fans of Jericho,
I write to you from my home in London utterly staggered by the events of the last week or so. I, along with all the cast and crew from the show, was totally gutted (UK slang for 'very upset') when news came down that our show was cancelled.
As has been said by others who have posted here, Jericho was a special time for so many of us. We worked so well together and it was almost effortless, so easy. Don't get me wrong it wasn't all plain sailing, we fought and we argued and some days were best forgotten...But most days, almost everyday on Jericho was a joy. If I had to be as far away from my family, as I had to be to do this job, I could not have picked a finer bunch of people to be with than the cast, crew, writers and producers of this show.
As if that wasn't enough, my luck ran further because I was given the gift of playing Robert Hawkins. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I was given to bring that man to life. He kept me on my toes and kept me honest. I enjoyed his company so much.
As I say, that was about as much luck as any one actor, any one show, deserved...but no, our luck ran still further. It turns out that we have about the most amazing fans that ever were. Truly your support and passion for Jericho is very humbling. You have stood up when all around you, including myself, gave up. You have reminded all of us involved in this rarefied world of making TV just who we are making it for. You have stopped being viewing figures and started being individual people who cared, who enjoyed, who were entertained, and who were loyal and committed. You were a great audience and are proving to be more than we ever could have wished for.
As I said I am staggered by your show of strength and just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you. Thanks for watching and thanks for fighting to see more.
JERICHO FANS ARE DA BOMB!
God bless you all
Cheers

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."
Now you guys know victory...how does it feel to be out of the gray twilight?
I'm staggered all over again. Utterly and totally STAGGERED. Thank you, thank you...and just for good measure, THANK YOU. Thank you for your passion. Thank you for you determination. Thank you for your grace, manners and most of all thank you for your class. Your campaign was so smartly put together, so expertly organized and so very, very classy. I can't quite find the words to totally express just how impressed I am by your actions. Outside of what you guys have done for myself and the rest of the cast and crew, I truly believe you guys have made a little bit of history. You may have changed the way that TV audience figures are calculated from now on. You have certainly got all the networks talking about whether 'Nielsen' is still the best way to find out who and how many people are watching their stations. You have given a voice to the many that for a long time have been ignored. You made yourselves impossible to be ignored, and here's where your class came in... you always made it possible for CBS to change their minds. You never threatened or attacked or insulted. You were just so honest, forthright, well mannered and persistent.
I think the network deserves much credit for being open enough and gracious enough to listen to you guys and to allow you this victory.
One minute I'm saying I can't find the words to express my feelings and here I am going on and on... I really just wanted to say thank you to all of you who posted such kinds words and good wishes to me after my last post. Your words touched me deeply. Other than that, all that's left to say is WELL DONE.
I coming back across the pond to work with a wonderful group of people I believed I might never be with again as we were before. For that I will forever be grateful to you all.
God bless you all and raise a glass to yourselves.

Dear JERICHO Fans and Friends,
Many of you have posted here that you're curious about how we are taking the cancellation and why we haven't posted anything in these boards. The fact is that most of us are devastated. I wouldn't dare try to speak for all of the cast and crew, but I can tell you that I've spoken to or exchanged e-mails with about 50 people from the JERICHO family and we are shocked and depressed by the networks decision.
I've been doing this kind of work for almost twenty years and I have never encountered a kinder, funnier, more dedicated and professional cast and crew in all of that time. One of our grips told me that in 33 years on the job he was never happier to leave his family and go off to work. It has been, unequivocally, my best professional experience.
Your support throughout the season and particularly since the cancellation has been very, very gratifying. You guys rock!
I know you never wanted Gray to be your Mayor, but I loved every minute of it!
Thank you all,
Michael Gaston

Michael Gaston - Gray (You Have Made History) (posted 6/7)
Dear Rangers, friends, fans and nut lovers,
I am in awe of you all. When I told a friend of mine, a veteran actor, a few weeks ago that I thought it was remotely possible that the fans of Jericho might persuade CBS to bring the show back he told me I was crazy. And he seemed a little sad for me. That I was " deluded. This does not happen. Cagney and Lacey? Whatever. Grow up. Move on."
But I couldn't. I admit it. I watched you all every day. You were, as my dear colleague wrote earlier, classy. You were relentless. Tireless. And right. You deserved to have your story back. And now you have it! You have spoken eloquently to the network. You reminded them about the lack of promotion, the lack of re-runs, the Nielsen's, the time slot. The fact that they were not counting you. They heard you and they have responded. You forced a publicly held multi-national corporation to stop. They stopped and they re-considered whether or not they made the right move. Now, whether or not they made the right business move to bring us back remains to be seen. We will have to deliver the viewers. But this doesn't worry me. It doesn't worry me because I know and you know that the viewers were there all along. They just weren't being accounted for properly. And the publicity you all brought the show will bring even more people to the JERICHO.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can not thank you enough. You gave me back the best job I ever had. But more importantly, you have encouraged me to believe for the first time that the public can successfully stand up to a network. Because you so clearly and so politely spoke your desire to this huge company, they were able to hear you and see the wisdom of admitting they were wrong and changing their decision. To their credit, they were not ruled by the need to save face. As I have said before, these are smart, successful people who get it right most of the time. This time they needed your help to see their mistake. God love ya.You have made history. We will never forget this. We are so grateful to you.
Thank you,

Dear Jericho Family,
Everyday I sit at my computer in total amazement. This huge response to the cancellation of Jericho is both humbling and inspiring; please accept my most heartfelt thanks. Also, know that my family and I applaud your determination and your style; you are one classy fan base!! I have been acting for 32 years and have never experienced such a reaction before, and I am right there with you. There are so many shows that, if gone wouldn't be missed ( and I've done some of those too), but this was not one of those shows. Our show had rich production value and great writing, which included intelligent story lines and characters that evolved, surprised and had depth. And, in my humble opinion, the acting wasn't too shabby either.
Our creators expected the audience to keep up as they worked tirelessly to stay ahead; unlike some shows, our scripts were eagerly anticipated by the entire cast and crew. CBS got quite a bit of bang for their buck, and for the life of me, I cannot understand why we weren't renewed. Our numbers are not all on the Nielson Box; most of my son's friends watched it on their computers and unfortunately CBS doesn't seem to understand that math sentence. Well, that is until all of you started to weigh in. Thank you for speaking out. Thank you for your dedication. Thank you for taking the high road. And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!
I'd like to bake each of you your favorite batch of cookies.

Hey everyone.
This is Richard Speight, the guy who plays "Bill" on the show. I had the good fortune to be a guest on Shaun's internet show last night. I really enjoyed getting the chance to speak to a few of you and to get a sense of your passion for and devotion to our show first hand. I was also struck by the caliber of the people I spoke to: former military personnel, wives and families of current military personnel, teachers, mothers, fathers - all of them well spoken and incredibly sincere.
I know the quality of people I was fortunate to work with every day on the set. I am, however, surprised and thrilled to see that our core audience is cut from that very same cloth. I've been in this business a day or two and have never seen a reaction like this. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for what you are doing and who you are. You keep doing what you're doing and fighting the good fight and I promise you, if you get "Jericho" back on the air, we will all do our dead level best to give you the kind of show you want and so richly deserve. I know that you are forging this battle amid the hustle and bustle of your own busy lives. I for one am flattered beyond words and am forever in your debt.
Again, thank you and - in the immortal words of the might Trojans of USC - FIGHT ON!!!

We are over the moon about getting a shot at a second season, and it is all because of you. I for one cannot thank you enough. If I could, I'd buy each and every one of you a beer (or a sparkling water for you non-drinkers). Actually, what I'd probably do is get a couple of kegs and throw a thing. That'd be cool. And I'd do it at Bob's house because he has a great yard for entertaining. Plus he lives really near me so if I overdo it a bit I can just walk home. That's what I'd do if I could. But I can't. Bob won't let me. But next time you're having a beer (or sparkling water) at your favorite watering hole, just know that if I were there, the next round would be on me.

Hello everyone,
I can't say what an extreme week I've been having. Hearing that the show would not be coming back was so hard for me to process because my experience on the show has been nothing short of amazing. But now, seeing how great and passionate you guys are in all your campaigning, it makes me feel so unbelievably good to be a part of something that inspires people so much.
Believe me, I know what it is like to fight for something even against incredible odds. You know, if I listened to anyone who told me "no, you can't," I would never have been able to be a part of something as great as Jericho. So I am completely in tune with how you feel and you make me very proud.
Keep believing that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I know that you have inspired me to keep believing that for myself!
With much gratitude,
Shoshannah Stern (Bonnie Richmond)

I cannot tell you how grateful we all are, and how humbled I am by your fierce loyalty and endless optimism. You guys ROCK so hard. I cannot think of another show that has a fan base like this, and in light of today's issues, it's so inspiring to think about things like sticking together and working as a team toward a common goal and actually achieving it!

To the most incredible fans ANY show has ever known: From Skeet Ulrich
I am overwhelmed and quite honestly rendered speechless at the good will created by this show and its fans! By you, by us!
I think it speaks volumes regardless of the outcome. A week ago our show was cancelled and it feels like time has stood still ever since. We loved bringing you this story. We loved waking up at 2:30 in the morning to drive an hour and a half and work 16 hours then drive home, eager and willing to do it all again the next day. Truly we did. Because when we got there we felt like a family. I miss that the most. Lennie constantly sang as he cooked up the mystery that is Robert Hawkins. Brad's incredible comic ability! The almost constant laughter and smiles. The kindness and generosity of spirit of everyone and I mean everyone (with the exception of one extra). I could go on and on.... trust me you don't want to hear it all! And as a family we never wanted to disappoint you.
We tried desperately to stay one step ahead of you and you are a clever lot! Thanks for being there for us. I will never forget this experience and it is very hard to walk away from. I have been fortunate to tell many different stories in my career but none has created the kind of discussions that this story has. Whether it was us in the lunchroom or people we would meet at events or people at the grocery store, invariably the discussion would turn to things much larger than the show, much more pertinent. And to me that is a success!
More to the point, however, is your generosity of spirit. I really don't know what to say....thank you doesn't suffice and my deck would collapse if we had a party so I am left somewhere in between. Your support is incredible and means more to all of us than you will ever know!Be well. If we can all be as good to each other as you have been to us, what an incredible world we would have.

I'm stunned. I'm blown away. I'm amazed.
I have been on many shows, and met many amazing fans, but i have never, ever experienced this kind of support from a fan base. First, I would like to thank all who supported the character of Heather and her journey on the show. I believe that thank you is LONG overdue.
Second, I would like to extend that thank you to all the fans of Jericho. Do you know your "Save Jericho" campaign is being compared to the campaign in the sixties to save Star Trek? It's phenomenal. Jericho was a very special experience for all of us, we were part of a family and we enjoyed every day on that set. Hopefully, somehow, we'll be able to have that experience again. But if so, it will be due to all of you and your refusal to give up.
On a personal note, I have seen many great shows disappear without a fight. I'm truly, truly honored to be a part of this fight.
Thank you, you guys rock! You are making history.

Ich Bin Eine Berliner. I came to this show as a guest and left a Fan. I have to admit that prior to my first episode as your Beloved Constantino (feel free to Boo and Hiss) I had only seen the pilot. I asked for copies of the first half of the season and couldn't stop watching. Literally. I kept telling myself 'just one more'. Next thing I know, it's 3:45 A.M. I was Blown Away by the Top Notch Acting and Wonderful Storytelling. By the time I came back for my second episode I was gushing to everyone on set about how much I loved their show. Once it came back from break, I never missed an episode.
Guest Starring can be a lonely thing. It's like being invited to a great party where you have to mingle but you don't know anyone...except for maybe one or two of the caterers. This job was the exact opposite. The JERICHO Family (cast, crew, writers, production staff) was one of the best groups of people I've had the pleasure to work with. All that stuff the actors have been writing about, what a great time they had at work and how much they care about each other is true. I had so much fun playing Constantino and so much fun playing with Skeet and Mac and Gaston and all the others. I'll miss that. I'll miss not having to shave. And I'll miss sitting on the couch trying to figure out what the hell is going to happen next.Thanks for letting me be a part of it.
All the best,
Timothy Omundson
And now, a word from Constantino:
Dear Jerichoians...or is that Jerichoites? Doesn't matter.
Give up! I will destroy you! I'm not saying I'll like it, but I'll do whatever it takes to see my Beloved New Bern survive another winter. Look, we all admire your spirit and your drive, but come on already! Enough with the NUTS!
You're mad at us. I get it. I said I was sorry about Johnston. What more do you want from me? Hang on. Someones at the door...!@%$#*. I swear if I get one more Mixed Party Tray I'm going to go out to my shed and build a catapult and start sending these things flying back by the ton. How would you like that? Huh?! Seriously though...Can you lay off ? I've got a pretty wicked peanut allergy.Hey, that's weird. Do you hear Helicopters? Uh oh. I gotta go.
Love,
Your Future Ruler

--- NO WAY.
that's what i said at breakfast this morning. Our Fans are the greatest. Jericho has become the little engine that could - a symbol of the power of each individual voice. imagine what we could all do, if we took a page out of "How to be a fan of Jericho."We are in your debt, and we will do our darnedest to make Jericho worthy of your loyalty.I wonder if George Washington carver counted this in all those uses for peanuts?In gratitude always,
Your biggest Fan,
Sprague Grayden/ Heather

To all the actor's, actress', writer's, director's, producer's, key grip, lightning, sound, costume, fluffer (I know it's not that type of show but who knows Stanley always has a big smile... haha) and whomever makes the magic happen. THANKS FOR THE BEST HOUR ON TV. And to CBS, thanks for swallowing your pride and listening to the fans.
I believe that we all have a little JERICHO in all of us. Peace Out! |

Thank you very much for sharing how you feel with us. Next to Ugly Betty this is the only show I am looking forward to watching again next season. It's going to be interesting to see what Jake does to Constantino. (you know it can't be good). Keep up the good work you guys and thanks for returning our loyalty and loving Jericho as much as we do.
