I know this may be old news to some of you but I just found out last night on Coast to Coast AM with George Noorey that CBS has Cancelled Jericho. I also found this info on wikipedia.
Efforts to revive the series
CBS officially announced Jericho's cancellation on May 16, 2007. Several online communities, including the official Jericho forums, have launched campaigns in an effort to revive the show. The largest petition claims to have over 90,000 electronic signatures as of May 28.[19] Fans have also sent tons of nuts to CBS headquarters, in a reference to a scene in the final episode where Jake Green repeats General Anthony McAuliffe's historic phrase "Nuts!" from the Battle of Bastogne.[20][21]
In a response posted on the Jericho forum, CBS president Nina Tassler acknowledged the fan response, stating "we hope to develop a way to provide closure to… the Jericho story."[22] Jericho producer Karim Zreik has reported that "there's a chance that more information might come out after the Memorial Day holiday."[23] There are no plans, however, to bring back the show,[23] despite what CBS officials acknowledge is the largest campaign it has seen using digital means to protest a show cancellation.[20] According to senior vice president of communications Chris Ender, "You have to tip your hat to their ability to get attention and make some noise."
Not sure if any of you here were fans or even seen the show but my wife and I are very big fans. We did not miss one episode of the first and maybe final season.
