Jericho ends (on CBS)

Lennie James

CBS has cancelled Jericho. The seven part second series obviously didn't bring in the crowds. Personally I liked Jericho best when it was a drama about a small town coping with post-nuclear isolation. Although the second series has been entertaining, I think it just felt like a below standard 24. The last episode is aired tonight in the US.

There are of course rumours of shopping the show around to other channels.

Most impressive thing about the cancellation? The BBC mention it.

Shame. I only just finished watching the first series a couple of weeks ago. With slower story development and long term support it could have been a winner. US TV is eating its own children. Once Lost goes that could be it for US SF TV.
