Great show

Is it just me or are there others that find T.V. as boring as I do, The reason I love this show so much is that in a world full of reality tv and cop dramas, and with 5 or 6 CSI type shows on, Jericho was the first show in a long time that I took time out every week to watch, I did'nt miss a single episode.

Now with it off the air again I find it very hard to follow any other show as regulary as Jericho, in many ways it is the exact opposit of the rest of tv, a show about citizens acting on there own best judgement to survive a horriable attack on our way of life really puts things in perspective.

I'm tired of self centered reality shows and Super cop dramas, Jericho shows that all of us under the right cercimstances can and will be there own leaders, this is the quality that built this country from 13 colonys on the east coast to the great nation that it is today.

Please feel free to post your opinions or reasons why you watch this show we all love so much.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Jericho was different (and way better) than any of the other shows on TV. These were actual people (charactors) that we could all identify with. Enough with all the CSI's already! I 'm still sick about the cancellation and that another network didn't pick it up. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Amen!!! I’ve been saying this same thing over and over again. It’s hard to talk people into getting into a show that has already been cancelled. When they do try it on-line or from someone’s DVDs they end up hooked but with no where to go. CBS has ended up making the best mini series since Winds of War / War and Remembrance but did it too short and without an ending. These days I’m happy to have a large DVD/VHS collection to select from because TV for me is the History Channel. Discovery Channel, and the news. Bring back Jericho!! Do you find this valuable?

What a great way to put it!! I do feel that I was in the middle of an excellent "mini series" that just ended without any closure or answers!!

You're not alone in thinking what's on Tv is boring, in fact a lot of it isn't worth the time it takes to watch. Jericho was the first show for me in a long time that I had to watch no matter what . I think through two seasons I only ever missed one episode and that was because I was in the hospital. Through the rest I wouldn't even answer the phone if it rang while Jericho was on. So far what little bit I've seen of the new shows isn't fit to watch. So come fall I'll be watching Jericho season 1 &2 on DVD.

annielady, I think one thing that made Jericho so great was that besides entertaining us it made us stop and think what if the unthinkable happened. It also touched the hearts of people from coast to coast and boarder to boarder plus quite a few from around the world. It didn't just touch a certain group of people but people of all ages, and from differant walks of life. Jericho was a very special show that many of us still miss.
