Jericho, Rules of Engagement, Cancelled. Gen Batiste Fired by "C" B.S.

Edgy, politically incorrect, challenging content has no place on "C" B.S., that's why cable is so successful, because they dish up tasty programming that the "McDonalds" networks of TV would not touch.
Bean counters rule as someone else wrote. Why not just let accountants write all TV programs and let them act too? Jericho was one of the most challenging, and relevant programs on television in many years. I have 3 new reasons to watch other channels. I had 5 reasons to watch "C" B.S. before: including The Unit, and Survivor Fiji.
Even the majority opinion of Americans, and 75% of Iraq War Vets who are in favor of pulling out of the Iraqi civil war aren't enough to keep "C" B.S. from firing Iraq war hero, Gen. Batiste, who challenged Bush on the Iraq War:(
Jericho was topical, well acted, well written, but interrupted with a long break for no reason. it co-starred an African-Britain, and other African-Americans which is all too rare on TV. How unique. I hope other networks pick this program up. Maybe HBO? Letterman's jibes at "CBS programmers" for being incompetent, or perhaps "monkeys" as he's quipped, is more relevant to me now. It was all inside baseball before. Jericho goes down the "memory hole." 5  out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?

You are right about the actors, very nice diversity....and don't forget about Bonnie, our hearing impaired character...I was so happy to see her as a character (my sister is deaf) and I cannot believe they killed her off! She was really interesting and her character could have gone on for a long time. I am also very sick and tired of reality and stupid sit coms, truth is they just are not coming up with new ideas and then when they have a great show, they don't even know it. Makes absolutely NO sense to me. Do you find this valuable?

You are definitely right!! I liked Bonnie too! And now they cancel it again. We have like 100 different shows, all of like which seem the same. They come out with a new show and it is different in all these different aspects. Totally original and stupid CBS cancels it yet again! We must get together and fight for this show's third season!!
