xtremeroswelliaJericho's creator, Carol Barbee, was on Shaun's radio show tonight. Honestly, I don't know who Shaun is, but apparently he talks about Jericho and has interviewed like, everyone involved with the show, which is awesome. I can't listen, cause I'm on dialup. *le sigh*
But here is what Carol said on the show, according to one of the mods...
1) keep contacting CBS paramount and Nency Tellam to tell them you want Jericho to keep going.
2) Originally Sci-Fi wasnt looking for new episodes but they are getting
A LOT OF PRESSURE!! And talks are still in the works.
The budgets are not that far off and Carol feels that they could work within the budgets available without too much trouble.
3) Also, COMCAST/Direct TV like the deal with Friday Night Lights!
4) Speaking to CBS' Movie Division about a movie also.
5) The studio (Paramount) is very motivated to see the show continue because it's an asset. CBS on the other hand is done.
6) RP asked when CBS will pull the message board, she doesn't know but will find out.
7) Cast is still on board if it continues
8) Hawkins is still alive, rest easy (question from Shelby)
9) The line about "how does it feel to make history" was for the fans!!
The podcast will be available tomorrow for those that missed it here:

For me this says a couple things. Sci-Fi IS listening. They are apparently having budget talks?? That is a really good sign.
We ALL need to stop posting at CBS (I can't do much anyway, their stupid site freezes my computer) and migrate to the Jericho Sci-Fi boards. We need to hit them with letters (I sent out three today, my friend Jamie wrote one, and my parents are sending one tomorrow), postcards and lots of positive things about Jericho. Also, be sure and tune into the reruns on Friday nights! This is important! From what I've heard, the reruns alone are pulling in about 1 million viewers (this is not Nielson ratings, btw...apparently cable has a way to track when you're watching something?? I'm not clear how that works). One million is a LOT for reruns. Imagine what NEW episodes would bring.
AND DID I MENTION THAT THE CAST WILL STILL BE ON BOARD WITH THIS SHOW IF IT CONTINUES?
*calms down*
Fight on, Rangers.
Oh. And another thing. If I have time and energy, expect a blog from me tomorrow on the reasons why this fight is MUCH different from the fight for Joan of Arcadia. Cause truly, there are a LOT.
