“Jericho” will return tonight, Friday, July 6 for rebroadcasts from the first season of the series that literally brought the nuts back into Hollywood. After the show was cancelled by CBS earlier this year fans got in an uproar and flooded the LA and NY offices of CBS with over 40,000 pounds of peanuts, bringing the studio to their knees begging them to stop and promising a return in the network’s 2007-2008 mid-season with 7 new episodes.
The network decided to bring back several episodes of Season One to measure audience response to see if the show might be salvageble for more than just 7 episodes. So, for the remainder of the summer catch up with the series and keep your fingers crossed for the possibility of more in some form or other down the road.
“Jericho” is the name of a small Kansas town and the story follows the lives of its residents and their survival in the wake of a nuclear explosion. It airs tonight and every Friday during the summer (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).

Nothing dumb about it at all Iflashl. It is simply going back to a programming style of the past – rerun your shows and promotionals during the summer hiatus to attract new viewers for the upcoming new season and allow any old viewers to either see it again or catch up on shows they may have missed during the regular season. This programming technique was used exclusively by networks before the advent of cable and satellite with 300+ channels. It worked effectively then and will do so again. Sometimes the old ways really are better – new doesn’t always equate to best.
Jericho is better the 2nd time around. Loved it!
