The “Jericho” cast celebrated the complete first season of CBS’s fan-fueled hit released on DVD by CBS DVD and Paramount Home Entertainment on Tuesday, October 2, 2007. The campaign to save “Jericho,” a compelling drama about what happens to residents of a small town in Kansas after a nuclear attack, is already Hollywood lore: Fans sent more than 40,000 pounds of peanuts — a reference to the final line spoken by “Jericho’s” hero in the season finale — to CBS network executives and convinced them to renew the show for a second season. Now, fans can save the show again on DVD.

“Jericho” stars in attendance included Skeet Ulrich (Jake Green), Kenneth Mitchell (Eric Green), Sprague Grayden (Heather Lisinski), Alicia Coppola (Mimi Clark), Brad Beyer (Stanley Richmond), Bob Stephenson (Jimmy), Clare Carey (Mary Bailey) and Ashley Scott (Emily Sullivan). Executive Producer Jon Turteltaub was also in attendance along with executive Carol Barbee and co-executive producers Dan Shotz and Karim Zreik.
