CBS canceled Jericho because those of us who like shows like Jericho are in the minority. I believe the 70% rule applies here - 70% of all people are average or below average in intelligence (or am I being too charitable?).

I believe the 70% rule applies here - 70% of all people are average or below average in intelligence (or am I being too charitable?). "You certainly have an interesting observation and while I do agree that most of what is given on a zillion channels today is nothing more than pure, unadulterated garbage, I believe that Jericho is just to the truth for CBS and they would rather take the coward's way out and say it is the ratings. Everyone that I know who has even seen one episode are 'hooked', so, the CBS execs are A. brain dead, B. scared out of their wits or C. Both of the above... 27 out of 29 found this valuable.

Sorry, I probably sound like an intellectual snob, but unfortunately all my life experiences have proved the 70% rule to be true. Anyway, I do agree with you that Jericho is too close to the truth for most people and too scary to think about. CBS execs are probably not brain dead, but just going along with what the majority want.

The onely thing I can figure is [ CBS ] goes by their own whims about GOODPROGRAMMING. Not because of the Numbers. If CBS thought think it out, and ask the VIEWS what we like. THE NUMBERS will follow. WE ARE THE VIEWS ! I do not like mindless Television [ SERVIVER ] [ BIG BROTHER ] [ THE AMAZING RACE ] Just to fill programming now that is GARBAGE TELEVISION [ CBS ] thinks WE like ! ! ! 24 out of 26 found this valuable.

"Karen, LOVE THE PIC!!! : ) I agree that there could easily be another whole season. Just as someone mentioned in another post on another thread, Look how long Mash lasted! There are so many ways to go with this series and so much to work with that it could realistically even have more seasons if the actors decided to stay. As for those unanswered questions; I sure hope they don't drop us like they did the first time. That was rough! 27 out of 27 found this valuable. Do you? |

This is why we endup with Jack Asses for political leaders. We are brainless, we realish "Reality TV." Critical thinking, or intelligent thinking is no longer encouraged in this country. The political elite love it. We get stuck on issue so trivial that we fail to miss the real problems facing our Nation. We get stuck on issues such as steroids in baseball or who the latest 'Idol' will be while the economy tanks. We get stuck in a quagmire in Iraq, yet the most talked about issue yesterday at the water cooler is the latest rendition of has been Celebrities pretending to dance premeired. And lets talk about that war. I am one of the most patriotic individuals you'll will ever meet. My degree is in political science, I minored in history, and I am a sworn civil searvant, I cheered when we attacked Al Quida and the Taliban in Afghanistan. I was one of the first to say shortly after 9/11 lets go get the bastards that did this. Yet I have been accused of being non-patriaotic because I choose to question the war in Iraq and criticise the president and his policies "during time of war." I got news for you so called patriots out there, the most patriotic thing we do in this country is question our leaders. If our founding fathers did do the same, we would be singing God Save the Queen and not the Star Spangled Banner today. I am slightly off topic, back to Jericho. Jericho makes you think, it challenge us to be true Americans and question our leaders, jericho encourage us debate on Wiki threads the possibility of whether or not the Jericho scenario could really. Shows like Jericho, unfortunatelly are cancelled in favor of shows like Big Brother, or Idol or Dancing With Has Beens. Americans need to wake up from its slumber and start thinking again. The more 'reality' shows that appear on TV, the more I am encouraged to pick up a book and read. But then again, I guess I think too much. 19 out of 24 found this valuable. Do you? |

Chief,I don't think you read too much. If you do then I'm guilty as well because much of what is on TV now is mush for the mind. I like it unto giving a baby a pacifier. There's nothing of value in it. 20 out of 20 found this valuable. Do you? |

11. Anthrax attacks the print and TV media just as the Bush administration warns journalists to censor TV and print news. Anthrax also attacks Senators Daschle and Feingold in their offices. By the way, Sen. Russ Feingold was the only senator to vote against the USA PATRIOT Act that decimates the Bill of Rights. (see #10)Is this all just a coincidence? 11 out of 23 found this valuable.

" I am slightly off topic, back to Jericho. Jericho makes you think, it challenge us to be true Americans and question our leaders, jericho encourage us debate on Wiki threads the possibility of whether or not the Jericho scenario could really. "No, I don't think you are off topic at all. The fact that the nuclear blasts were orchestrated by those insiders in the US is just too close to the truth of what is really going on, or could easily occur. Our present administration just can't stand this type of criticism. Also all the negative stuff regarding Ravenwood, a company of paid mercenaries, just like Blackwater and Jennings and Rall just like Halliburton. I think in the episode, Blackwater and Halliburton were mentioned. Mr. Cheney does not like this!!! So...even though Jericho far outweighs the popularity of all these other inane shows, it is not something that 'they' want us to think about. But, I have been accused on this board of being a commie, pinko, Vietnam era hippie and so do not say much more about this. Hells bells, my passport is probably now being 'viewed' by the State Department. And what is my crime? THINKING!!!! 22 out of 22 found this valuable. Do you? |

"Glad to see that now there are others on this board who can see what is going on. It is so obvious. Perhaps when Cheney and Bush are out, we can have more Jericho and FREEDOM of SPEECH!"Some of our leaders have been thinking and talking about nuclear war. In the past week there has been much news about a planning document which describes how and when America might wage nuclear war. The Nuclear Posture Review recently released to the media by the government: 1. Assumes that the United States has the right to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike. 2. Equates nuclear weapons with conventional weapons. 3. Attempts to minimize the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons. 4. Promotes nuclear response to a chemical or biological attack. Some dismiss this review as routine government planning. But it becomes ominous when taken in the context of a war on terrorism which keeps expanding its boundaries, rhetorically and literally. The President equates the "war on terrorism" with World War II. He expresses a desire to have the nuclear option "on the table." He unilaterally withdraws from the ABM treaty. He seeks $8.9 billion to fund deployment of a missile shield. He institutes, without congressional knowledge, a shadow government in a bunker outside our nation's Capitol. He tries to pass off as arms reduction, the storage of, instead of the elimination of, nuclear weapons. 14 out of 26 found this valuable. Do you? |
