IGN: Jericho Cancelled Again


March 21, 2008 - Last year Jericho got a lot of attention when CBS cancelled the series, only for the fans to rally behind it. The ensuing "nuts" campaign was a very impressive one, and resulted in the series achieving the incredibly rare feat of being un-cancelled, as CBS renewed it for a seven episode second season.


Unfortunately for Jericho fans however, the publicity surrounding the show's resurrection didn't result in increased ratings for Season 2, leaving its fate very much in doubt once again. And indeed, CBS has now announced that this coming Tuesday's Season 2 finale will serve as a series finale.

Maybe this explains why the series seemed to be headed toward complete nuclear doomsday. This is too bad, the show was starting to get really interesting, especially since Rosseau was shot ...

uhm... nevermind, I mixed up Jericho with last night's Lost. At least now with the cancelled Jericho the network can replace that time slot with more suck.
