Fans and newbies alike will get a chance to check out some of the episodes from Season One of “Jericho” this summer. Here is the official CBS press release that explains it all.
Rebroadcasts From the First Season to Air Fridays at 9:00 PM, ET/PT For the Remainder of the Summer
JERICHO, CBS’s drama about how residents of a small, peaceful, Kansas town band together to survive in the wake of a nuclear explosion, will return to the Network beginning Friday, July 6 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT). Rebroadcasts of episodes from the first season will air in the Friday, 9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT time period for the remainder of the summer.
JERICHO, which last week received a seven episode mid-season order following an impassioned display of fan support, will return on July 6 with a rebroadcast of the pilot episode. On July 13, CBS will present back-to-back broadcasts beginning with “Return to Jericho” (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), which recapped the first 11 episodes, followed by episode 12, “The Day Before” (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), which launched “Jericho’s” spring return.
The remaining summer broadcasts will consist of episodes 13–22, in which tensions continue to escalate between Jericho and the neighboring town of New Bern as they battle the Kansas winter, dwindling resources and the uncertainty of a new world. The citizens of Jericho must now find a way to unite against these hardships, working together to preserve their community and their way of life as they prepare for an all out battle for survival in the season finale.
Jon Turteltaub, Stephen Chobsky and Carol Barbee are executive producers of JERICHO for CBS Paramount Network Television.

I hope people will watch it. Even though I’m usually home on Friday nights, I’m not usually watching TV. I’ve already made up my mind to download the first season on iTunes. I hope that counts for something.
I might have some difficulty watching it live, but I encourage people who can to do so. It’s an awesome show.
Over the course of the first season, viewing Jericho was an event for my family. We invited friends and neighbors to watch with us. I think over the summer we may try this again, but cast our nets farther afield. We already converted the friends who watched with us the first time. I guess it’s time to focus on enlarging the fandom. I just don’t know what we’ll do this fall short of knocking out walls to enlarge the family room!
I am thrilled that we managed to save Jericho! We are working hard to attract new fans, however, anyone who just happens to catch the first couple of shows will be hooked! It’s that good. Not just another cop show or dr. show yada yada yada.
Man I sure hope people are watching…ratings were good the first week, but a little lower this past friday…gotta keep this around!
