Quiet tip of the
hat to CBS's 'Jericho'

Disappointing end for fan-revived disaster drama

It was a subdued farewell for “Jericho” last night. Ten months after CBS revived the post-apocalypse drama following a campaign by rabid fans, the show drew its second-lowest rating of the season for its series finale.
CBS canceled the show last week because of disappointing ratings for season two.
“Jericho” averaged a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating, according to Nielsen overnights, off 5 percent from the previous week’s 2.0 and down 27 percent from a 2.6 for the second-season premiere last month.
“Jericho” nearly matched a season-low 1.8 rating, set earlier this month, but at least fans got a little closure this time when the show left the air.

Found something about Jericho within this story:
How NBC and DirecTV Kept ‘Friday Night Lights’ Alive

"Television executives say this model could help keep other sentimental favorites on the air. For instance, CBS Paramount Network Television has held talks with Comcast, the cable provider, about finding new life for “Jericho,” the low-rated drama canceled by CBS last month, according to two people briefed on the talks who requested anonymity."

That would be great. I'll reiterate, I hate reality tv shows and game shows.
