This may be the news that any Jericho fan has been waiting for, the news that Jericho is ready to go, and could be coming back on CBS at any time. We had reported earlier that we would be expecting the show to go for a February-March 2008 release. However according to TV.com, Jericho could be coming back sooner then we think:
CBS had originally planned to have the sophomore season of the cult favorite air during the midseason, which would mean an early 2008 premiere.
However, fans may see the fruits of their nut-tastic “Save Jericho” campaign pay off even earlier. Jericho is being eyed by the network as a possible replacement should one of CBS’s new shows fail and be canceled, according to TVWeek.com.
Jericho’s shortened season–one of the caveats CBS had in bringing the show back for a second run–has already wrapped and is “ready to go,” CBS scheduling head Kelly Kahl told TVWeek.
Should one of CBS’s new hour-long shows–such as Moonlight, Kid Nation, Cane, or Viva Laughlin–get canceled, CBS may opt to get Jericho up and running rather than fill the vacant slot with repeats. And if the history of shows getting axed within weeks of their premieres is anything to consider, that could mean Jericho may return to television soon.
Of the aforementioned new CBS shows, all have debuted except for Viva Laughlin, which premieres in its regular time slot on Sunday, October 21.
As for the people behind the show, they’d love to see it get back on television immediately. “There’s definite concern [about viewer interest waning], which is why we hope to get on the air as soon as possible,” show creator Carol Barbee told TVWeek. Source(s):
http://www.jerichoblog.net/ The show was originally cancelled, but the show's fans successfully petitioned to have it brought back. Jericho has been renewed for 7 more episodes as a midseason replacement starting sometime in early 2008. CBS has stated that the fate of the show after that will depend on the viewer turnout when it returns. I LOVE Jericho. I can not wait till it comes back. They should never have even thought of canceling it. yes it is but they have not released a date yet . I also love this show and wrote tons of emails and letters to get it back . good luck and happy viewing .
