Really? That’s just lazy writing and propaganda. The reason I used to tune into the show was that I didn’t know where it was going. Taking the socialist highway with the rest of hollywood is just plain boring. Why not actually surprise us with something like J&R being the good guys in an episode? Why not make the army the good guys — and not after they have had a deep emotion epitome about the evils of fighting. Do us a favor and have the Jericho writers go back on strike.

The Everything-Tied-Up finale, we know the show is cancelled and over.

The Cliffhanger finale? There is a future someplace for the show.

I hope CBS releases their plans before March 25th.

Couldn’t it have more to do with the fact that it came back late season (instead of in the fall with all the big season premieres) and that it is playing in a later time slot than last season (not to mention on a crummy night when there are already too many popular shows on)?

I initially didn’t like the new direction the show was taking in the season premiere. But since then I think it has hit it’s stride and has really gotten interesting. I just needed to watch a couple of the shows to get locked in. I like all the ideas on here about how to save the show. Hopefully the people “upstairs” at CBS are as clever as people on here, because I think the show could do really well on a better night and at a better time. (I really like the idea of pairing it up with Supernatural on CW. Another show that I enjoy that doesn’t get the audience it deserves…)

P.S. you mean there were other shows on Tuesday night?

I guess it’s my fault for choosing to watch the 2 best but least recognized shows on TV at the moment: Jericho (well of course) and Supernatural.
AnneMarie, I’m not sure I’m all in a SN/Jericho pairing… what would I be watching the rest of the week…

I guess I should be happy about this AMAZING second season of Jericho and I sure don’t regret being part of the fight last year. Even if just for 7 eps it was well worth it. Best so far, there’s just no time-out. Like Bill said, I’m gonna make sure to enjoy the last 2 but keep crossing every fingers I have (and the ones around me) for more next year, wherever it could land. Let Jericho Live.

For those who says the comparison is not valid:

Jericho – Group of military contractors are ambushed by armed insurgents – result 1 dead executed contractor hung like a dead animal. (Goetz’s character was evil and deserved to die, but thats beside the point).

Fallujah 2004 – Group of military contractors are ambushed by armed insurgents – result 4 dead contractors hung like dead animals.

Of course the Fallujah contractors were escorting a food convoy doing nothing wrong. But given the theme of Season 2 that Kansas = Occupied Iraq. Im quite sure thats where they got the basic idea for this episode from. For those who still love Jericho, Im sure this makes them uncomfortable but I cant help that.

In fact Goetz’s own employer fired him. The producers have made it clear that like any company there are good eggs and bad. If Jericho really happened, private companies (both civil and security) would have a role in reconstruction.

In this environment, there would be corruption (as there has been in Iraq), and there may even be an overstressed commander (Goetz, My Lai, Haditha). To suggest that the producers’ depiction in Jericho proves an extreme liberal bias is oversimplistic. Clearly, they do not want to take a simplistic Michael Moore route since last night it was members of Ravenwood and J & R that ended up saving the town from a few rogue employees.
