I want it to stay on, I thoroughly enjoy this show, only one I watch on a regular basis.
I thought highly of show as well.
IIRC from reading CBS boards, NBC turned it down. I would love to see it on TNT but who knows
At least CBS cut it loose while there could be time for others to pick it up.
Unlike ABC and VU.

Wow! That's not closure, that is just not a cliffhanger. There are tons of story arcs that could and should be explored. I hope it gets picked up by some network. Maybe they could film 2-3 seasons at once, pay the bills then if they decide to cancel on tv finish the rest online or sell a dvd of the remaining episodes. I would pay money for this show.

What did y'all think?

I would even take a movie or two.
I am talking big screen.
And then there is this bit from Sci-Fi:

Jericho would do well on cable, where there aren't the ratings demands of network. I think it would be good for FX, TNT or HBO.

I'd love to watch the American Civil War: Part 2!

Yeah, but I would prefer to get it on network TV, I don't have cable and b/c all I do is kill batteries from flipping through the stations since nothing good is ever on.

Also Big brother had a smaller share than Jericho yet it stays on...I hate reality TV.

Reality shows cost less than 1/2 of a scripted show..

Please don't take this the wrong way, and I do understand that reality shows are cheaper to produce etc., but do you have any numbers? I mean I want to see a side by side comparison and I can't seem to find anything like that.

DAMMM!
What a great ep and what a sad way to end what could have been a great run.
In some ways I feel how I felt when ABC spiked VU; a lost of a piece of my entertainment. A product put together by what must have been a great mix of cast, staff and crew. Who are all now out of work.

We can only hope that a major cable company picks show up.
Damm
