The ariel dogfight scene that was part of the alternate ending was so good that the Pentagon had to call CBS/Paramount to verify that it was in fact CG.

If you like Robert Hawkins you will love what he tells Valenti!
Check out this article regarding the cancellation of Jericho vs the cancellation of Moonlight.
There are some very interesting comments by Nina Tassler, CBS Entertainment President.

Thanks Nanette
Jericho has been a lot of fun. As far as a TV series, I doubt we shall anymore new episodes, but if they can do another X-files movie I think a Jericho feature film is possible.
We shall see :)
Since we can add Youtube videos I figured I would put one of my favorites here. The first peanut delivery to CBS with a killer soundtrack!!
Good for Lennie James!
I really think this guy is a great actor and deserves all the work he can get. This mini series "The Prisoner" does indeed look interesting. I will have to say that AMC is working hard on becoming my favorite channel!

Good for him. I really thought he was good in his role as Hawkins. I don't think I ever saw the old version of The Prisoner. If it was 1960's, do you think they will "modern" up the version to current times, or just redo that series as it was. Did you ever see The Prisoner? I really do not think I ever did or I would remember.

I have never seen it either. I questioned my wife as she is the resident movie expert, but she seems to have heard of it but that is all.
I think some investigation may be in order.

Not to hi-jack further, but I did see the series in its original airings, as well as years later in syndication, and it was still confusing. You have to remember that was an era when spies were big in pop culture in a variety of ways-- James Bond, Man from U.N.C.L.E, Get Smart, The Avengers, Johnny Rivers' "Secret Agent Man", and even toys of the time were espionage-obsessed. Part of the Cold War mentality, I suppose. The Prisoner was an offbeat chapter in that book.

Alex,
I could have just been tired, but I was channel surfing and the "bad cop" (wife beater) on Flashpoint last night looked like one of the actors from Jericho. I am brain fading right now but it looked like the older son. I can not think of the character or actors name and am too lazy to check it out. Anyway, if it wasn't him, it was pretty close.

Well, I don't watch Flashpoint, but I searched Google news and you are right. It is Kenneth Mitchell who played "Eric Green" on Jericho. I am glad these people are getting some work.

I don't watch that show either. I kept saying to myself, it is him, no its not. He looked like he had put on weight or something. Hey, he was almost in character, LOL, law enforcement and cheating on his wife! :)

I never cared much for his character on Jericho. He never does well on the character elimination games on the Jericho forums. Half of the time he gets eliminated before "John Goetz".

I don't doubt it.
Latest update from Rubber Poultry:
After numerous requests from within the fandom, I checked in with Carol today and she was kind enough to respond even though she’s out of the office for August. It turns out KayT did the same thing by coincidence.
She told me that the Jericho producers are moving full steam ahead on two of the fronts we’ve been already heard about. What’s really exciting is that she said they’re actually working on a story document for presentations associated with the current negotiations.
Negotiations are always sensitive, so there’s not much more that can be said right now, but I think this is really great news.
I know the next question is which two fronts. I think we’ll have that information sooner rather than later.

"International Jericho fans organized a floral tribute to General McAuliffe. Flowers recently arrived at Bastogne to honor this historic US General. This was a tribute to General McAuliffe who in World War 2 held off the Germans at a critical battle in Bastogne, Belgium in the Winter of 1944. When he was asked to surrender vastly outnumbered he responded “Nuts”. "

Vote for Jericho to make it to the big screen!

Also, believe it or not there are still some folks fighting for this show! Universal HD is currently the only U.S. channel airing the show, and they are committed to running it through December. Universal is a fouth place network with many cable channels, and not a lot of scripted dramas. The folks at Universal HD have shown quite an interest in Jericho, and plan to run the "Save Jericho" commercial that we were successful in airing in the Hollywood/LA area. The commercial had to be redone in HD and there are some legal issues to work out, but they will run the commercial nationally on Universal HD for $2000(what a bargain), and we already have the money, we are just waiting on the format and legal issues.
If you wish to encourage Universal to pick up this show, please send a postcard to the following:

SAVE JERICHO AGAIN TV AD GOES NATIONAL
ON NBC UNIVERSAL HD THROUGH DECEMBER
UHD media flight coincides with re-introduction of
Jericho's Seasons 1 & 2 on The CW Network
In what's considered to be yet another first by a fan community supporting a beloved show, the NBC Universal HD Channel will begin airing nationally a fan-funded and –produced TV commercial designed to highlight the desired resurrection of the post-apocalyptic drama Jericho. Slated to run through the month of December 2008,
the Save Jericho Again TV ad dovetails with Universal HD's run of the CBS-canceled show about a small Kansas town's fight for survival in the wake of nuclear bombs dropped on 23 American cities.
Fans, or Jericho Rangers, as they're often called, decided to expand their footprint beyond two previous ad buys in the Los Angeles area and raise several thousand dollars more in donations from around the globe to purchase a total of 85 spots to air on a national scale on Universal HD beginning December 1st. The 30-second ad, created
by Jericho fan Jason Moore (screen name Rubberpoultry), will air in day parts of the Monday-Friday schedule and on Saturday and Sunday evenings through December 28th.
Surprisingly and coincidentally, the UHD flight schedule will coincide with the start of The CW Network's airing of Jericho's first and second seasons on Sunday nights at 7 PM, beginning November 30th. The CW, owned by CBS, announced on November 22nd that it was dumping its current Sunday night schedule for a revamped weekly
ine-up that would include all 29 episodes of Jericho.
The national NBC UHD ad run is a follow-up to two previous campaigns, in which more than 400 Save Jericho Again cable commercials aired in June and September in the Los Angeles area with popular, ratings-rich shows on the ESPN, Discovery, History, and Sci-Fi Channels. The original intent was to target efforts in and around the Hollywood industry area where a decision about Jericho's rumored future would most likely be made. The ad was created to complement fans' other media efforts and to maintain awareness of support for the show, its cast, and crew in the time frame that several networks had expressed an interest in reviving Jericho's story.
Upon completion of those two campaigns, Jericho Rangers decided to expand their reach
Save Jericho Again ads airing nationally on Universal HD – page 2
nationally on Universal HD, which features Jericho episodes airing through the end of 2008. Despite high-definition conversion challenges (overcome with the generous assistance of USA Studios in Los Angeles and AD-ID LLC in North Carolina) and other logistical issues, fans have overcome the obstacles and brought to fruition their goal for multiple national airings of the Save Jericho Again ad.
Universal HD is a uniquely programmed, full-time network offering the best of NBC Universal's premier sporting events, blockbuster films, and award-winning TV series to over 3 million homes across the country. The CW Network, set to begin running Jericho episodes on Sunday, November 30th, is a joint venture between Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corporation and America's fifth broadcast network, specifically targeting women in the 18-34 age group.

Thank all the fans for their support. I hope they are enjoying the CW run of Jericho and assure them we're still working on a continued life of the series.
Happy Holidays to everybody.
Love Carol Barbee
Interesting Jericho flag. I usually do not post pictures of it because they are controversial, but I like this one because it is like the one on my cell phone, but the bars are vertical in this one, like on the show. This is the flag of the Cheyenne government.

FINALLY! SOME GOOD NEWS!! A JERICHO FEATURE FILM
“We’re developing a feature for JERICHO,” says Turteltaub. “It would not require you to have seen the TV show, but it get into life after an event like this on a national scale. It would be the bigger, full on American version of what’s going on beyond the town in Jericho.”

Great news! :toast:
Tuesday night I saw April Parker (Darcy Hawkins) on NCIS. Good to see her working again. She had a small part in the last season of Lost, as well.
It also appears that Lennie James (Robert Hawkins) has landed a part in a CBS pilot that has yet to be named.
"In an as-yet-untitled legal drama being developed by The Unit co-executive producer Frank Military, James will play a former assistant district attorney who, after being disbarred, toils as a paralegal in the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan, says the Hollywood Reporter."
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/tvguide/400274_tvgif16.html
Lennie James is a great actor and I am happy to see him getting work.
Sprague Grayden made her first appearance as the President's daughter in Monday nights episode of 24. Her career is really taking off.
As far as Jericho goes, ratings on the CW reruns took a big hit during football season, but improved this last week. I doubt they are anywhere close to what they need to be for someone to consider picking the show up for a new season, but they are in line with The CW's ratings for prime time during the week, and are significantly better then what The CW was getting before on Sunday nights. The show also comes on at 5:30 PM now as opposed to 6PM. The CW was removed from TV Guide, but after an uproar from Jericho fans and Gossip Girl fans TV guide has put The CW back in, so I think that helped a little with the ratings as well. It appears TV Guide is still used by many to find out what is on TV.
No further news on the movie since Jon T.'s mention of it, but I am hearing a lot about some Morse code going around on TV Talk radio, so perhaps that is some kind of clue.
Well, this is somewhat encouraging:
Well, there's reason to rejoice, because the struggle between the corrupt company Jennings & Rall and the tattered remnants of the American government might not be over. "The Jericho movie is in development," spoke Karim Zriek, continuing, "there's going to be announcement probably this coming week, not about a Jericho movie, but about another avenue which we're going to continue telling the Jericho story."
http://tv.ign.com/articles/958/958252p1.html
"Thanks to the ongoing dedication of those fans, Devil's Due Publishing has inked a deal with CBS Consumer Products to continue the story of Jericho in comic book format."

Jericho charity update:
Welcome Home to Jericho: A Charity Event was at The Sportsmen’s Lodge in Studio City, Calif., from April 24 to 26. Howell was the social chairwoman, which she said “is only as successful as the people she has working with her.” She added that “our creative team (is) 100 percent volunteer.”

I saw a program the other day (of course I am having brain fade) and the guy that played Stanley was in it. I want to say if was either a Criminal Minds or Mentalist episode but I could be wrong...........
Well, at least we get the rest of the story - we still got a 50/50 shot at the movie, and if the comic book does well it will help the cause :)
from Facebok:
Dear Jericho Rangers,
In October, Devil's Due Publishing will release the first of six issues of Jericho: Season 3 - Civil War. This is a continuation of the story that began in Jericho and will pick up from the end of season 2. The success of this comic book will help move the Jericho movie further down the development pipeline. We realize that for some fans purchasing comic books may be something new or something you haven't done in years. We are sending out this email to provide you the information you need to purchase the new comic book.
You can purchase the comic at your local comic shop. You can locate your local comic shop at www.comicshoplocator.com. Some shops will even let you pre-order, or hold aside the comics for you.
If you don't have a local comic shop in your area, one of the best on-line mail order services is www.mycomicshop.com . It is run by Lone Star Comics, the largest comic retailer in Texas. While they don't have pre-order available, it will be available for order in the new releases section (www.mycomicshop.com/newreleases ) the week of each month the comic is published. This is also good option if you want to buy multiples of each issue - they do offer free shipping for order of $50 or more! They will also be stocking the comics as "back issues".
While DDP is planning on putting out a graphic novel of these first six issues in early 2010, it is important that we support the individual comic issues as the sales figures for these are what CBS Consumer Products (the licensing arm of CBS Television Studios) and DDP will be looking at. The Sales figures are also important for the graphic novel, but the ongoing individual comic issues are what count the most! So, October to February, we need to buy and support each issue.
Also, Jericho Rangers for Our Troops (JR4OT) is providing Comic Relief for Our Troops. This is an opportunity for you to provide the comic book through donations to our troops overseas. Please visit www.comicsfortroops.com for details.
For those who might be interested in learning more about comics and a have a chance to meet up will other Jericho Rangers, we suggest you visit your local comic book convention. You can find conventions in your area by visiting http://www.conventionscene.com/schedules/comicbookconventions/
Please help support our effort to continue the Jericho story by making Jericho: Season 3 - Civil War a success.
Thank You,
Your Fellow Jericho Rangers

It looks like Skeet is going to be killed off on Law and Order:LA, and there is new rumor that CBS is going to produce a "wrap up episode" of Jericho. Probably a two hour TV movie - fingers crossed.
