A nutty story involving CBS' Jericho

nutsOur friends over at TV Squad (where I also work, so I guess I'm one of the friends) are reporting on the campaign by fans to save the just-cancelled CBS show Jericho. And it involves nuts.

In the series finale, the head of the town of New Bern asked Jake to surrender so no one else in Jericho had to die. Jake thought about it for a second and said "nuts." So fans have been bombarding CBS headquarters with nuts! So far they've sent over 7000 pounds of nuts, so much that the network has had to donate them to local zoos. CBS' Nina Tassler has already announced that there they are working on some sort of "closure" for the series, perhaps a TV movie to wrap things up (or maybe just an explanation of what would have happened on the show), so we'll have to see what happens from here.

Too bad about Jericho though. Good show, and a real cliffhanger ending in the last episode.

We want nothing less than a second season!
NUTS TO CBS!

Tomorrow at 5 p.m. EST, log onto http://www.paltalk.com/newstalk/jbraverman_episode.shtml for a live video chat with “NUTS for Jericho” visionary Jeffrey Braverman regarding his unprecedented grassroots campaign presently driving CBS execs, well, nuts. Since May 16th, Jericho fans have deluged network offices with nine tons’ worth of nuts in protest of the show’s recent axing; CBS has called it the most emphatic display of support it has ever witnessed by fans mobilizing via the Internet to protest a cancellation.
PalTalk is pleased to assist Jericho enthusiasts’ impressive, unique efforts to revive their favorite show. Help maintain the fight by logging onto http://www.paltalk.com/newstalk/jbraverman_episode.shtml tomorrow at 5 p.m. EST, and telling friends and family to do the same!
