Wow, see what a ton of nuts can do 
| CBS Wrote: | To the Fans of Jericho:
Wow!
Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard.
As a result, CBS has ordered seven episodes of "Jericho" for mid-season next year. In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more "Jericho," we will need more viewers.
A loyal and passionate community has clearly formed around the show. But that community needs to grow. It needs to grow on the CBS Television Network, as well as on the many digital platforms where we make the show available.
We will count on you to rally around the show, to recruit new viewers with the same grass-roots energy, intensity and volume you have displayed in recent weeks.
At this time, I cannot tell you the specific date or time period that "Jericho" will return to our schedule. However, in the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences. This includes re-broadcasting "Jericho" on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing the story of Jericho in the digital world until the new episodes return. We will let you know specifics when we have them so you can pass them on.
On behalf of everyone at CBS, thank you for expressing your support of "Jericho" in such an extraordinary manner. Your protest was creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone. You made a difference.
Sincerely,
Nina Tassler
President, CBS Entertainment
P.S. Please stop sending us nuts |

And now they're putting all this effort into the show too:

If they would have done some of that in the first place, they would have kept their audience and wouldn't have had to cancel it (but then the nut biz wouldn't have made a ton of money, but such is life). Good to see they're trying though, not just giving it a few episodes to please fans. |

Don't you mean 25 tons? (that's the number I heard)
I hope the ratings are high enough to stay around longer than 7 episodes. It's still great news though.

Now I have no excuse as to why I never caught this show.
Is there a DVD out or sometime soon? |

I don't understand why one of the cable networks don't just buy Jericho, CBS clearly doesn't want it. They keep canceling it. |

That would be sweet.  It has such a large following, I'm sure they'd get enough viewers even if it wasn't on a major network. |
