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.

It's probably not doing so well, otherwise they would have kept running it. Some shows run for years and others just one year. It happens.

Starting online competitions isn't really going to help, it's not going to bring the show back, pretty pointless in doing it. If there were more viewers the show ould have been kept running, but the majority of people must not have liked it. So they pull the plug and and come up with something new, something that generates more money for them.

It just sucks that a really good show such like Jericho has to get the boot.
Shows like Jericho come along once in a bluemoon.

The show was better than Heroes imo. I'm extremely disappointed by this news.
Jericho was a breath of fresh air, while we all drown in a sea of Reality shows. I guess people would rather watch has-been, and never were celebs dance, YAY!!

I love how fans of the series have sent nuts to CBS headquarters. Great move!!!
I wonder if CBS is smarter then a 5th grader.

I've never heard of Jericho, but several of my friends told me I needed to get heroes....

What's it about?

Also, f*ck those stupid shows about dancing. They are the reason I change the channel when I get near CBS, ABC, or any other letter-acronym networks.

Yes I was reading that the other day it's nice to see that CBS is giving Jericho
another chance... CBS said they will make 7 new episodes of Jericho and see how they do... Then if all is well CBS will make 8 more...
