Jericho Lives Again!

Jericho is rising from the ashes.
The CBS drama about small-town life afer a nuclear attack was the lowest-rated prime-time program on the network and didn't make the fall schedule. But from the moment it was canceled, fans swamped the network with letters, emails and bags of nuts - a reference to a line in the season finale. CBS reversed its decision, ordering seven episodes for as early as November. "We've never seen anything like this," network scheduling chief Kelly Kahl said of the relentless response. "We're going to give the show another chance, but people are going to have to support it." Viewers claimed the Nielsen ratings didn't reflect how they watch the show. Jericho was the second most popular CBS program on iTunes and online after CSI, and got an 8 percent ratings boost from people who recorded it. "It's the first show to demonstrate that people watch TV in a new way," says exec producer Carol Barbee. "The netword needs to understand how many people they are really reaching."
