It was fun while it lasted.

I'm still really hoping that another (i.e. Cable) network will pick it up. Many of the comments the producers have been making in recent interviews tend to imply that they have been in talks with some networks already...I am hoping that an official announcement by CBS will lead to positive momentum on other fronts. There is still plenty left for them to tell in the story.
"Profitable" depends on how much it cost to make relative to the number of viewers. If a programme cost $10m an episode, it probably wouldn't be profitable with "decent" viewer numbers. As I recall, the very high cost to produce was one of the stated reasons for Farscape being cancelled.
From what i've heard Sci-Fi channel has already passed on Jericho, So the current possibilities are USA and TNT, and we all know how much fun it is to have TNT doing your show..
It looked good, but I saw my first eps last night on Scifi...didn't have time to watch the 3rd. just as good. :)
I'm contributing to the death of television. I watch shows I know are going to finish, and then don't start watching new ones.
Battlestar and 24 are the only shows I watch. Disappointed that BSG had a rough spot, but oh well...it's the last new show I plan to get into. I'll continue watching 24, but thats it except for reruns of shows I've already seen to finish. :) )
If anything this show is about people, their struggle for survival using means at their disposal, in an atypical and realistic "it-could-happen-to-you" way (at least most of the time).
Sure would be ideal for SciFi to pick this up but hey they probably have more wrestling stuff to add. Maybe the nuts campaign should be directed their way now...
I wonder what the dvd sales of season 1 have been like?
there is a Jericho chat room that was set up by all us crazies, and 2 nights ago we had 3 of the producers stop by, as well as 2 writers, the props master and the set dresser, also one of the extras.
From what they said, Sci-Fi is out, but TNT, A&E, and DriecTV are interested.
And sending Sci-Fi some love in the form of well written letters may sway them.
Basically the ratings were not good enough for CBS Television, however CBS/Paramount is pushing very strongly for the show to continue, they are actively shopping it, and strongly believe in it.
So sending letters to CBS/Paramount is also something they want done.
They say that the story itself will prolly continue in some form, maybe novels if they cannot get a TV series. There is the strong possibility of a Movie, but as for TV, something has to come together before June, which is when the casts contracts expire. we all know how hard it is once they are out of their contracts.

How about axing the guys who decide whether to cancel a show or not?
In which case I may just watch it at some point...
Though, to be honest, the finale did serve well as an ending [I]and[/I] a beginning...it would actually segue into a 'spinoff' pretty well, since the scale would be grander...and if that's the way to see more, then I would be for it!
