Subject: • Jericho fans put up a billboard in LA
Upon truckload after truckload of nuts delivered to CBS, the network lifted its cancellation order and brought the show back for a seven-episode second season.

Unfortunately, viewers still didn't tune in the way CBS hoped, and the show was once again put to rest.

But a little thing like that isn't going to keep Jericho fans down. They still believe there is plenty more Jericho left to be shown, even if it isn't on CBS. So what have they done now?

They've rented a billboard in Los Angeles.


The giant sign is located on Ventura Boulevard near Vineland and is in the form of a faux-real-estate sign basically stating that Jericho is for sale. It promises 6 million fans and lists the phone number of Jericho's production house, CBS Paramount, and a Web site for more information.

The sign was funded by donations from fans and went up earlier this week. It's expected to remain up for a month. And the kicker? CBS owns the billboard.

But Jericho fans aren't stopping there. They're taking the campaign to the next level and are attempting to buy television ads promoting their cause. The idea is to get ads up on Time-Warner Cable in Los Angeles in hopes that they'll catch a producer's eye who will then revive the show.

Interesting idea, but it's going to cost them. According to one of the organizers, the cost to get ads on the cable service is $6,500. But as of a few days ago, the fans were already more than halfway there.

What does everyone think? Inspiring story or time to let go?

About time the bosses are told what people enjoy, not all this reality junk.

Exactly, reality sucks. It would be awesome if this was picked up by a different network. All the luck to the people behind this campaign.

LOL, Andrew. I was gonna make a thread asking people to list their favorite reality people. I love picturing them all to the Dawson's Creek theme.

For the record, I watched the first few eps of Jericho and didn't like it enough to keep watching. But dammit, I admire the fans' perseverance!
