Third Season of Jericho?!

Over the years I have had many favorite shows. Everything from Recent shows like Big Bang Theory, to not-so recent shows like Soap. In between those shows, is a Television series that I absolutely adored. It was called Jericho, and unfortunately it wasn’t long-lived. In fact, it was cancelled after the first season, but due to a fan write-in campaign that involved a whole lot of nuts, the show was brought back for a second season.

Still, the ratings just weren’t good enough to keep the show running, and like before the network decided to pull it, and again the fans cried out. This time however, the network wasn’t giving in, and the show remained cancelled after only 2 seasons.

That is until now.

Apparently Jericho is back for a THIRD season! However not in the form that we are used to. The third season of Jericho apparently is being done in comic book form. The series is scheduled for a 6 issue release, and apparently is already up to issue number 3! So, it’s halfway through the third season.

I am excited about this, since not only am I a loyal Jericho fan, But I am also a die-hard Comic book collector! However living in a small town like I do, means it’s difficult to get ahold of comics. We don’t have a comic book store, or a Comic vendor in general. So, I need to make my way over to our nearest “Big city”, and get to a comic book store and see if I can pick me up the issues that are currently out.

Wish me luck!

Jericho movie? Yayness!!

Ok, one of my favorite shows of all time was a short lived series on CBS called “Jericho“. It was basically about life after a nuclear attack, and centered on the small town of Jericho, and what happened to them as they struggled to survive this odd point in time. They had to deal with fall out, Bandits/scavengers and even other towns. It was simply great!

Not great enough though apparently, since the show was cancelled after just one full 22 episode season. Which was really crappy because it ended in a HUGE cliffhanger.

I cried with sad.

HOWEVER! Apparently their was enough interest because enough people got a campaign going that ended up bringing the series back for a second season! This second season only lasted 9 episodes however, but did manage to tie up a lot of loose ends. Ever since then, jericho has been silent.

Good news however! Apparently a movie based on Jericho is in the works! Its slated for a 2010 release, but not a lot yet is known. The only thing for certain is that it will reunite the cast, and will not require you to have seen the past episodes to enjoy it. Apparently it’s supposed to be a broader look at the country. not just the town of Jericho.

is that not total yayness though? If you havent seen the series though, I highly encourage you to. The series is available on DVD, and if you have Netflix, then you are set. Not sure if you will like it? I will say this, if you are a fan of Jeremiah then you will love Jericho! Also, I should state that if you love Jericho you will love Jeremiah!

State of Television

So, i’ve been watching a lot of TV lately(Although since the Writers strike, there’s not a whole lot to watch right now. Thank god for Reality TV O.o) and I have to say, this season of TV programming has been..somewhat poor compared to previous seasons. Even Television shows I loved last season, aren’t that interesting this season. Shows like Smallville, Heroes and Ghost Whisperer to name just a few have been mediocre at best…and pathetic at worst. I continue to watch them, not because they are good and I have been loving the episodes, but because I have invested so much time into the shows from previous seasons, i just dont want to toss them out the window just YET.

Although I am hoping for a good run of shows coming up…Knock on wood. Doctor Who should be begining it’s next season over here on sci-fi channel soon I think…or at least “Soonish”. “Psych” and “Monk” will be having a Xmas special and “Jericho” will be starting…So, my hopes lay on the backs of these returning shows, and I am eagerly looking forward to the breaks from these tired shows this past season. Perhaps after a nice little rest, they can get their act together and become once more the shows I originally fell in love with.
