Jeremiah is set in a future post-apocalyptic world where, almost a decade before, a deadly virus wiped out the world's adult population sparing only those who haven't reached puberty. Now in their 20s, the oldest survivors of the pandemic include Jeremiah and the colorful but cynical Kurdy. Jeremiah is on a personal quest to relocate a mysterious place called Valhalla, which his father claimed might hold some hope for the survivors. As Jeremiah falls into a reluctant partnership with Kurdy, both explore new areas and encounter other groups of young adults who are divided into rival social groups. In the course of the season opener, Jeremiah's smaller personal quest is redirected when he discovers a group of highly organized survivors who want to enlist him to orchestrate peace among the warring factions and to try and prevent the killer virus from returning.

Summary written by Daniel Calhoun on IMDb

Jeremiah will premier on the Sci Fi Channel on Thursday, July 10^th (check local listings for times). This series ran for two years and is written by J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5).

This thread is for discussion about how this series compares to Jericho.

Jeremiah is airing in four hour blocks for the next two Thursdays.

The first four episodes will air tonight.

The episodes begin at 7 pm eastern time and 4 pm pacific time.

The first episode had a market that looked like Blackjack Fairgrounds.

I also really enjoyed hearing morse code on the radio.

I'm in the third episode now and I really like the teen who thinks he's a comic superhero.

The characters in this show are just not as likeable as our Jericho family.

It was interesting to see that Jeremish upped the action part of the series, by introducing a group that survived the plague and want to return the world to the way it was.

That is similar to what Jericho did by bringing in J & R and the Allied States.

Jeremiah continues through August in 4 hour blocks, Thursday nights on the Sci Fi Channel (check your local listings).

Hi K6,

No Jeremiah ran for two seasons on Showtime and the Sci Fi.com Jeremiah page has a list of the episodes in the order they were shown.

I have no idea why Sci Fi is running them out of  order.

In some ways, Jeremiah is more like the old Westerns where several characters traveled from town to town and the stories are based on where the characters are. This makes the base story a little hard to follow.

But then Star Trek was originally billed as "Wagon Train to the stars".
