It's easy to assume the producers of Jericho are just playing on our fears right? With everything the USA has been through, there is something morbidly fascinating about watching characters struggle through the worst-case-scenario. In a recent Reuters interview, Jericho creator Jon Turteltaub confessed, though, that there was a little more being the decision to move forward with the show.

"If people had no fear of nuclear bombs, then this show would kind of suck," he says. "But if America was in a panic over nuclear bombs, we probably couldn't make the show."

In the beginning, Jericho was haunted by the insinuation that it was a LOST knock-off looking to take up a parasitic position on ABC's sci-fi/drama hybrid's opening time-slot. Therefore, it must suck, right? After a few weeks of well written, if not intriguing, episodes the show began to claim ground. It quickly received a full season order amid ratings that showed a strong "growing" phase. This could have been a bad thing meaning the show was booked on a projection and needed to fulfill that promise for any hope of a second season. Unfortunately, Jericho has not maintained that trend. The show has settled into a comfy number two spot for the Wednesday Night 8pm slot, but its failure to continue to grab new viewers is no doubt weighing heavily on CBS exec's minds.

The parrallels betwen Jericho and Lost that foreshadowed the post-apocalyptic drama have all but vanished, which is good news for producers of the current Wednesday night mainstay. Jericho's unwarranted reputation as a Lost wannabe caused a bit of confusion and dissapointment in the beginning of the show's run; where's the weird?

I have been watching Jericho even when not being forced to. Not because I like or can relate to the characters, but it is a creepy and interesting scenario. A small town trying pick up the pieces and figure out what has happened after a nuclear attack. Like every human being would react, the first thing that needs doing is power restoration to the town watering hole.

Last night's episode of Jericho, "Walls of Jericho", was as solid as the previous three. Jericho has proved to be one of the most successful new shows of the Fall, and has enjoyed some of the best ratings a new show has seen in a while. Not many would have predicted this before the season and, yes, even I was extremely skeptical about Jericho. Post-apocalyptic age, set in a small Kansas town, starring Skeet Ulrich? Yeah, like that's going to be good.

As Jake and Heather head home from the bar, they hear a noise that they decide to follow, which leads them to the pharmacy, where a refugee from Denver, suffering from some serious radiation problems, comes looking for help. Meanwhile, the mystery of the bombs enhances, as we learn that Hawkins is tied into the events, even more so now than ever before.

CBS's Apocalyptic thriller Jericho is likely to survive to see a finale, according to a poll by 'The ShowBuzz'. Of the four new shows CBS offered this season, The Class, the only comedy of the group was expected to sink by 62 percent of voters. Two new dramas, Jericho, and Shark, were the series that were most favored to live on

Overall, Four Horsemen, the third installment of Jericho, was another fairly enjoyable episode. The intrigue is building as to who is behind the attack, and its interesting to know that others have survived. It also appears that America may have been the only country where explosions have happened, but it is a bit early to say just yet. I suppose that makes sense really – America is the West’s only real superpower, despite Doctor Who’s valiant efforts to convince us that Britain is the centre of the universe.

A high level of quality can only be maintained for short bursts it seems for most television shows, and for Jericho the trend remains the same, although luckily it doesn't dip down too far.

Once again, this episode of the new CBS failed to swamp my senses with incredible action and a nail-biting plot. It just kind of walked casually into my living room, softly said, “Hello,” and strolled right on out the door promptly an hour later. In fact, I’m not certain if this episode actually was, or if it was just a figment of my (sometimes demented) imagination.
