Jericho

Awesome. I think this one of the best shows on tv (trumped by hero's). Lost lost my interest mid-season, though they seem to have rectified it at the end of the season. It is likely easier for the writers now that they know when the show ends. 24 is laughably awful now. And i HATE reality shows - the stupidity of each gets progressively worse with each nauseating iteration. I just saw an ad for BINGO the show. Are you fuking kidding me.

BTW, if we remember back to the small incident in Ohio a couple years back that caused the entire Northeast, part of Canda and the midwest; it seems quite possible that devastating nuclear attacks that wiped out every major city and surrounding suburbs in America could disrupt the nations power grids.

And mind you, we don't actually know the full story yet. We are just surmising at this point. That is what keeps the premise and cliffhangers interesting.

Yes, but that's not what happened in the show.

Reality TV must end. They wanted to replace Jericho with some kid-centered reality TV show. Hopefully this protest/outrage over the cancellation of yet another serial drama due to "low ratings" (messing with the schedule, pulling it off the air for a long period of time with no re-runs and little promotion that it was coming back) will start the change of how ratings are calculated. People don't sit and watch TV live anymore. TV is recorded, or watched online at a later time. And because of this networks aren't giving shows time to build an audience. They seem to have forgotten that The West Wing, L&O and The Simpsons didn't have super high ratings from the start. They took time to build a following.

It's a TV show. Suspend reality. Do you sit there and criticize Lost because it's not realistic? Or Heroes? What about 24? In 24 there is never any traffic, you get cell phone service everywhere, data transfers take a ridiculously low amount of time...

We don't know how we [as a country] would react if this situation appeared. We also don't know who set off the bombs, who the good guys are, who the bad guys are and who the heck that Army is. And what is up with that flag?
