Count me in on Invasion and after the first few episodes I was really getting into Journeyman.
I liked both Surface and Invasion, as well as Jericho. Watching the DVR'ed episode of Jericho was the highlight of my week......... I sure hope SciFi picks it up. It would be a better fit for them anyways. CBS set Jericho up to fail at the 9pm timeslot..........Heck, 6 mil viewers is probably some of the most they have had for a 9pm CST show.
I really liked Surface, Invasion, Jericho, and Jouneyman. But it seems nowadays if it's not a sex filled soap type show like Desperate Housewives or Grey's Anatomy, then it won't last. And that really sucks.
WHy is it that the best sci fi shows all seem to be on networks like Cbs , fox,Nbc,ABC & CW but SCI-FI channel shows crappy B rated movies all the time? CAn't this channel make good Sci-Fi shows like the networks do ? OR maybe just pick up the failures that the networks cancel and give them a good home on Sci-Fi? IS this rocket science here or am I just being stupid?
The networks will pay millions of dollars per episode of a TV series (2-3 million for an hour show is not uncommon). SciFi seems to want to spend about 50 cents (more likely around 500k/episode). A few million extra per episode can buy a better cast, better writers, better sets, better special effects....
Jericho may be saved?

Don't put up the headstone yet: New York Times says CBS is in talks to find help funding cult drama.
At the risk of causing a full-on riot, Jericho may not be dead after all.
The New York Times dug into the recently announced deal between DirecTV and NBC that saved Friday Night Lights, and discovered that this new tactic of partnering with cable providers may not be a one-time thing.
According to the paper, a pair of anonymous sources says CBS has had talks with Comcast about "finding new life for Jericho."
Presumably, those talks amount to negotiating a similar deal that kept Friday Night Lights from being canceled. Lights will return for a 13-episode season and will premiere on DirecTV in October, four months before it is re-aired on NBC in February after the Super Bowl.
Jericho, which follows a postapocalyptic Kansas town trying to survive after a nuclear attack on American soil, was canceled after its first season. Fans rallied, and CBS reversed its decision to axe it. However, after disappointing ratings, the show was once again canceled last month just before the shortened second season concluded.
Is the third time a charm? Does the show deserve another chance? Can it be saved by Comcast? Comment below...

I wouldn't mind seeing a Season 3....seems like they found the right formula shortly before being axed.
I set a timer last week just in case they aired BSG in that slot, if they show them all I will have the entire series archived on a External HDD...
Jericho is playing every day at 10 am on UHD and repeats at 5 pm daily... started today with Episode 1 and looks like 2 tomorrow etc...
OK, I was prompted to use this thread from 6 years ago, so hear it is ...
Anyone wanting to continue discussing Jericho, heres the thread.
Anyone wanting to continue discussing Jericho, heres the thread.
In my case, thats not the case, I just wanted to see the series because others here have said how good it was and I had time to watch it ...
Now when I get thru the 2nd season or the partial season as it looks like it is, if I want more, THEN I'll be where the rest of you are, waiting and wondering.
Well, now that I'm back for Vacation, I will continue with the rest of Season 2 and catch up with y'all.
Egads! As much I loved the old, shortly-lived, Jericho series...doesn't this thread ever go away?

Well ....
When others keep talking about it in Other threads ....
Thing is, I never watched it originally, so this thread isn't really old to me ...
