With the new year upon us tomorrow, we would like to say goodbye to 2008 with a recap of this blog's five most popular communication-related posts, based on the frequency and the immediacy of reader views after they were posted.

Editor: A Jericho story made the list.

'Jericho' tops list of Top 5 DVD releases

Article by John Stahl.

Source: Examiner.com.

Making the complete series set of "Jericho" my first choice should not surprise anyone. The program's portrayal of how realistic characters from a small town would respond to a somewhat realistic wide-spread nuclear attack presents so many topics for discussion that watching the episodes repeatedly has value; further, the ongoing nature of the story makes watching several episodes at one time very worthwhile.

Actress guards secrets of '24'

Interview by Rick Bently.

Source: Fresno Bee.

This interview takes place between 5:01 p.m. and 5:16 p.m.

Despite the early evening hour, Sprague Grayden is still moving a little slowly. It wasn't that the young actress was hitting the Hollywood party scene the night before that has caused her to be so tired. She worked until 6 a.m. on the Fox series "24."

Before a sort of signoff, Peter Ames Carlin looks back at the year in TV

Posted by Peter Ames Carlin.

Source: Idot Box, The Oregonian.

A year on television is a lot like a year in real life, only more so: Shinier and prettier and with expertly written wisecracks, two-fisted crime fighting, miraculous doctoring, wily lawyering and nights of heedless passion that hardly ever lead to mornings of regret.

Goodbye, farewell: a look at series finales of '08

Article by Kat Angus.

Source: The Gazette, Montreal.

It's rare for a TV show to end on its own terms - or, at least, it's rare for a show to wrap up its storylines before being taken off the air. So when a show actually does get to produce a series finale, the writers and producers go all out, killing off characters, marrying others and, really, just cranking everything up to 11. Take a look at some of the great shows - and decidedly not-great shows - who said their goodbyes in 2008.

Editor: Jericho has a whole paragraph in this article.

A Set Top Box Set-Up

Posted by Mitch Oscar.

Source: TV Board, Media Post Blog.

At the last MPG Collaborative Alliance (Dec. 3) EVAD Consulting's Frank Foster and Current TV's Theresa Pepe Falcone's succinct presentations focused on issues shaping audience measurement as the media community transitions to digital broadcasting. In particular, how television program viewing of the members of Nielsen Media Research's audience measurement panel, upwards of 12,000 TV households, translated into projectable program ratings. For this week's MediaPost TV Board blog I solicited written thoughts on panel vs. set top box viewing data from researchers in attendance at the last Collaborative Alliance as well as those whose opinions I respect but who could not attend in person. My goal is to proffer for public consumption an agnostic way to keep the topic of set top box data collection and panels projectables visible in the press and provide segues to hopefully generate dialogue and momentum on this crucial media topic. Thoughts, comments, noise, welcome.

Redstoen defaults on debt, Lenders look the Other Way

There’s an old saying that says if you owe a bank a thousand dollars they own you but if you owe them a billion, you own them. While the numbers in the saying vary, today, media mogul Sumner Redstone seems to have validated the theory of the adage: if you owe enough, you’re in control.

Nielsen Releases First-Ever Comprehensive Report About What America TiVos

Posted by Kate.

Source: MSN TV Blog.

It's pretty ridiculous that DVR viewing isn't really taken into account when crunching the numbers to determine ratings. Nielsen is finally sitting up and taking notice! For the first time their year-end report about which shows are most popular includes TiVo/DVR users. Number one (and two, for that matter!) is "American Idol." Not a huge shocker. But get past that, and the results are interesting.

Great Stories in History Episode II: Nuts!!

Posted by owner.

Source: Perpetual Memory Loss.

It has been a long time since I wrote the first great stories post, which can be found here. I didn’t have any ideas for a new one for the longest time until the other day, as I was in the midst of procrastinating by watching TV, a Jericho promo came on the channel I was watching. I’ve never seen the show so I wasn’t really paying attention until in one section of the commercial there was some kind of battle going down, and the villain told Skeet that he was surrounded and there was no hope. Ol’ Skeet put on his best tough guy face, and yelled Nuts into the walkie-talkie. When I heard this I started laughing because here was yet another great real life story that Hollywood was appropriating and ruining.

JEBS - Message from Redsox (12/15)

I have attached my latest post on the UHD Board. Yes I tend to be long winded but we have an opportunity to build a business case right now. We have to keep people grounded and let them know that it takes a lot of hard work and determination to build from the grass roots level up.

We have had over a million consistantly the past 3 weeks, we have almost 1.1 million views on the CBS Youtube playlist, almost 15,000 posts on UHD Board and Netflix rentals of Jericho have grown. I need to know if anyone is a member and if so can they send me the exact stats as they post on the netflix site.

I know many of you have a lot of things going on for the holidays, personal issues, job issues and several are working on the upcoming Welcome Home to Jericho event in April in Los Angeles. But I do need your help, just spreading the word that Jericho is back on and doing the Feedback forms and letters/cards really helps the cause.

We are building a business case and the goal is to have the numbers looked at in total by CBS, NBC and other executives. In the end it may not be enough to warrant a movie which is the best bridge we can hope for for a new season but at least we can make one hell of an impression regarding what one small consumer group can do if it works together.

I want to wish you all a Happy Holiday Season, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your familes.

Gwen can you post this on Sci Fi, Jebs and anywhere else you usually post it?

thanks as always

Hello Fellow Rangers

The latest ratings numbers came into today with Jericho garnering 1.09 million (up 240,000) in the 7:30 slot following overlap from football.

On November 20, 2008 CBS Paramount announced Jericho would be returning to commercial television on Sunday nights at 7:00pm on the CW. At first everyone was so excited about the prospect of Jericho returning to commercial television but that excitement has been temped in the past several weeks as ratings which originally were at 1.25 million on November 30 have dipped to 1.09 million as of last nights' episode on December 14, 2008.

They put Jericho on at 7:00pm in the East opposite NFL Football cross over from 4:00pm games and opposite CBS 60 minutes which millions have been watching for years and continue to do so.

There is a reason that Networks do not put on new episodes of shows during the Thanksgiving to New Years Holiday Season. Most people are too busy with normal everyday things on top of holiday shopping, school functions for children and holiday parties and functions. In addition, the NFL playoff stretch run is in December and so each game, many in the prime time slot of 4:00pm are critical and you will not see people turn on Jericho or any show until the game is done.

I know I have had several posts and emails to folks where I mention that this is all about the numbers and it is. We have been tracking the numbers and have provided them to Nancy Tellem at CBS and Bonnie Hammer at NBC.

Jericho has had over 1 million viewers for 3 straight weeks far out performing the shows it replaced. It has done this with no promotion or marketing from CBS or the CW other than a few promos on the CW. We also need to keep in mind that the show has been cancelled twice and has been off the air for 9 months.

Youtube views of the Season1 episodes went from 1,000 on November 8, 2008 and by December 12 have grown to 1, 075,000. The numbers have slowed on the meters. We believe there is something wrong with them and have tried to contact Youtube/Google but with little success. Also there were terrible storms in the North East the past week that also accounts for some of the drop off as well as colleges now being out for the winter break.

Now is not the time to panic or give up. Now is the time that we need to work twice as hard.

Getting new people to watch on the CW and on Youtube is key. We are building something from the ground up which takes time and commitment. UHD posts continue to climb and we are almost at 15,000 posts up from 8,000 on November 14.

How do we ensure that we are heard, that we are counted and that the Network executives at least have something to consider. We follow the plan we the fans came up with back in November. It sounds simple and it is. Writing letters and cards and sending them out on Mondays and Thursdays is important as is completing the Feedback Forms for CBS, the CW and the local CW network affiliate. Going to IMDB each day, renting Jericho on Netflix and buying DVD's all add to the numbers.

Remember we are building a business case to produce a Jericho movie and maybe down the road more Jericho episodes. We are dealing with business people and financial people and they are looking at the numbers. CBS, NBC and whoever else is looking at Jericho know all the things the show is stacked up against. Jericho is on UHD, the CW, Hulu, Fancast Youtube and many other places and continues to draw interest and the networks have people tracking all of those numbers as well.

The simple fact that reruns of a twice cancelled show that has been off the air for 9 months continues to draw 1 million plus people on Sunday nights opposite football on a network where it is hard to find and opposite 60 Minutes along with the strong Youtube and Netflix numbers has got to have peaked the curiosity of the numbers people. The economy continues to decline and ad revenue and available revenue to produce new shows continues to drop. With hours of programming to fill, they have to be looking at Jericho.

I am convinced that once NFL Football hits the playoffs in January there will be less intrusion into the 7:00pm schedule and with the Holidays also ending we should see an uptake in the ratings.

Things in life do not come easy, it takes hard work, sacrifice and most importantly determination to overcome any and all obstacles to achieve a goal. We all want Jericho to continue so we need to continue to spread the word, watch the CW and UHD, send in Feedback Forms and write our letters and cards. When we get tired or sick of the fight we need to take a break and come back at it again and again.

This past summer we watched Michael Phelps blow away the Olympic record for most gold medals. All we saw was the qualifying and medal races in the individual events. What we did not see was the hours upon hours of training in and out of the pool and the personal sacrifices Phelps had to endure to make the 2 to 3 minutes we shared with him look so effortless.

Many of you have other things going on the your every day lives form worries about your job and the economy to all the things associated with the holidays. I am asking that everyone do what they can and little bit extra to help promote the show.

We need to stay the course and Keep the Faith.

You Tube Jericho Viewing

As many of you have noted, there has been an abrupt slowdown of views being counted on youtube. The source of this issue hasn't yet been determined.

It could be weather, storm, technical issues.
It could be other reasons unknown to us.

I am not trying to be blind here, honestly,...but we have no choice but to act and to proceed no matter what is thrown up in our faces. It is our persistence that has gotten the attention of so many.

What we do know is that we want Jericho episodes to continue to be counted and counted fairly.

So, for the good of Jericho and the Rangers let's consider taking action. No matter the source, we will just go do something about it.

Ideas:

1) Email CBS and politely aim to let them know that your view of a particular episode (or episodes) is/are not being counted at this time. No one can argue with the fact that you watched and your view wasn't counted. Not sure of how all this works but it would appear that both the sponsors and CBS are receiving revenue for these views...their revenue will be plummeting. For that reason alone one would think that CBS should be interested. If their sponsors get paid by CBS but CBS recieves no revenue from youtube views...bad deal for them.

You can contact CBS Interactive Advertising Feedback:
For providing us feedback on specific ads you have seen, please send an e-mail to . Please include useful details such as the name of the advertiser and the URL of the page where you saw the ad.advertisingfeedback@cnet.com

or e-mail:

CBS Feedback Form http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/fb_global_form.php

2) If anyone has inside contacts or a way to email Youtube please share it with us so we can also then let Youtube know that your views of Jericho today have not been counted. I will post it here. Again, we'll keep this contact Ranger-like and polite or professional. That is what the rangers are known for...or if not, it gives us a chance to prove it to Youtube as well.

3) We can also email the sponsors to let them know that you are still watching Jericho on youtube and will support their product...but that the views aren't being counted.

4) Let everyone on those sites (Facebook etc.) that you emailed know that their views are not be being counted and for them to politely let CBS and youtube know.

Every obstacle is a further chance to prove to the world what Rangers are made of.

We won't be deterred but will be professional, polite but persistent.

Our show and our views must be counted somehow. We still have ways and means to reach out to the sponsors and the networks so let's use them for Jericho.

Hang in there Rangers. This is Jericho in the RW.

DVD REVIEW: JERICHO SEASON 2

Review by Shawn Lealos.

Source: CHUD.

Jericho was a unique television series. In much the same way that Family Guy was cancelled and then brought back due to fan support. Unfortunately for those fans, the returning season was a mid season pickup that only lasted seven episodes and then was shut down again. The show runners were on the ball enough to end the series in a very satisfying way, while also leaving open the chance to return once again. Fans have been hoping to get their show back on another network, such as Sci-Fi, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.

JEBS - 12/8 Operation Phoenix Update & New Ad Schedule

From Redsox1986:

Fellow Rangers, the numbers came out today and there was a slight decrease in the number of Nielsen numbers from 1.25 million to 1.13 million.

As I said before we have been given one more chance with Jericho on the CW. Right now we need to stand together as a community and not let this small set back detract us form what we are looking to accomplish.

I have seen posts all day making references to not having any official word from the producers or writers in some time. As I mentioned earlier these people, all of them are working on other projects or are looking for work and in my opinion we will not hear from Carol, Dan or Karim any time soon.

As recently as November 19^th everything looked bleak, Jericho was dead in the water. We were finally getting the commercial on the UHD channel but there was a group of 5 to 12 people who went around to post a paragraph on community, college, television and media boards with a message regarding Jericho on UHD, announcing the tv ad was coming out and letting people know that CBS had just put the first season of Jericho on Youtube as of 10/30/08. It really was our way of bringing closure to our Jericho experience if you really look at it in hindsight.

The CBS Board had just been disconnected and with the UHD ad being aired it was set to be the epilog on the Jericho experiment. But a funny thing happened on the way to the final party, the CW and it's parent CBS Paramount decided to pull it's Sunday night lineup and put on Jericho from the hundreds of shows it owns and movies on Sunday nights looking for better ratings.

The economy is in bad shape probably the worst it has been since the early 1970's, people are scared, apprehensive and concentrating on keeping their job or looking for work just trying to make ends meet. Television is a business, big business and has been severely impacted by the economic meltdown.

They have put Jericho on the CW and for the past 15 days we have seen little if any promotion of the show. This is exactly what happened with the first go around, especially in Season 2 when they expected the fans to carry the momentum and promote the show.

The current situation we do know is this. Jericho is playing for an additional 27 weeks on the CW and for at least another month if not more on UHD at the same time. Youtube views are at 780,000 and climbing. We are at 13, 250 posts on the UHD Board and climbing, Jericho is on the CW Network every Sunday night and on UHD during the week and on weekends. How many shows current running or cancelled can claim that?

The other facts are these, the show is on at 7:00pm starting on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and the first 5 episodes will air during the holiday season, football especially in the East will continue to overlap and with the NFL being America's number 1 sport after Nascar we are not going to crack those numbers. Once the holidays and football are over we will see people get back to watching tv at 7:00pm on Sundays.

The show has been cancelled twice and off the air for nine months and still drew 1.25 million viewers and it had a slight decrease down to 1.13 million with all the things that I have mentioned against it.

I have used the term this is a marathon and not a sprint several times and for good reason Those who have been around since the end of the beginning and who have fought twice to bring Jericho back know the story. Many have left and/or grown tired of fighting for something without any immediate return on their investment in time, money and energy.

We have spent close to $50,000 on advertisements in Variety, on Bill Boards and on television ads that have run on Time Warner Cable in LA twice. The UHD commercial will finally air on December 11^th after much angst and numerous obstacles that had to be overcome.

As I see it we can let nine months of blood, sweat and tears, go out the window, just quit, pick up and move on, leaving Jericho behind to surface someday on TVland or we can chose to stay and fight for something we believe in. I know it is hard to see but it is there, CBS Paramount is looking at the viability of this series as are other networks such as NBC Universal and possibly others.

Someone at CBS Paramount with access to the numbers, DVR, DVD sales, internet views, Itunes sales has looked at the show and made a business decision to see what interest if any is out there remains in the show before they finally discard it. The time, energy and money invested by the fans of Jericho is unprecedented far surpassing anything done by other fan groups that again is something that business people are looking at.

It is easy to just walk away now, but think about it 20 days ago we were dead in the water and now 20 days later Jericho is on 2 networks and burning up the internet.

We need to deliver numbers to the decision makers and those numbers are letters sent out each Monday and Thursday, Feedback Forms for CBS and the CW done every Sunday, spreading the word about Jericho as best we can and most importantly sitting back and watching and DVR the show.

I am not prone to being over optimistic or being a cheerleader that is not my style. I am also a business person and have approached everything I have done here as a business person. The facts add up to one logical conclusion, that CBS has a product that there seems to be a market for, they also have a network another commodity it is trying to save from oblivion after it has invested millions first in UPN and now the CW. Smart business people are looking at this right now, I don't think the producers, writers or actors have much if any input in what is going on right now.

What I am sure is that we are that Jericho continues to be put on the air and people continue to watch in different formats and this community has continued some 9 months after the second cancellation. I choose to see this out, to do what I can to deliver the numbers to the bean counters at CBS Paramount, the CW and who ever else is looking at this little show.

I hope you chose to remain as well, enjoy the show, get people watching Jericho again and keep it in the news. 3 weeks ago we were waiting for the Obituary to be finalized now we are waiting to see if indeed Jericho has garnered another chance at life. I for one am fascinated and want to stick around for the ending.

Stay the Course and Keep the Faith

Rangers Lead the Way!

OK, it’s Week 2 of Jericho’s airing on The CW Network this past Sunday. It’s our “little show that could,” the twice-canceled post-apocalyptic drama that has found new life (again!), the spark that keeps the flame alive in the hearts of fans who want more shock and awe from that beautiful-but-flawed Green boy, the badder-than-Jack-Bauer Robert Hawkins and his quietly tough wife “Dah-cy,” Major Hottie Beck, the butt-kickin’ Jericho women, and the rest of the townfolk whom we love as if we all co-existed here and now in our own world, with its current economic and battle-weary woes.

If it comes to a showdown, who is likely to come out on top? Harker Research decided to survey media buyers on how they rate the two companies. The results are not good news for Arbitron.

"Nielsen uses a technique called statistical sampling to rate the shows -- the same technique that pollsters use to predict the outcome of elections. Nielsen creates a "sample audience" and then counts how many in that audience view each program. Nielsen then extrapolates from the sample and estimates the number of viewers in the entire population watching the show."

They made a new HD tape and it was sent out this morning FedEx from Manhattan to UHD NJ where they broadcast from. Hopefully I will have new flight schedule for an early next week start.

Youtube viewers are now over 450,000 when we started on November 8 they were below 1,000

UHD Board up to 12,600 posts and climbing. Need to get the word out over the weekend and then see what Monday's ratings report brings us. We need an increase no matter how small to build on.

Just wanted all of you to know that CBS has put Jericho on YouTube. It's the first CBS series to be released this way.

Jericho is an alternate future story of what happens when America is attacked and the government crumbles. The people of the small town of Jericho must deal with the unthinkable and find a way to survive. Jericho shows how people rise to the challenges around them, and in today's world their story is inspiring. Come check out this great series that was too good for commercial television, but is watched by millions worldwide via the internet.

Operation Phoenix Update

Happy Friday Rangers. 2 Days left until episode 2 Fallout is shown at 7:00pm on the CW.

As I have said since early November this last fight is about the numbers. We have 29 shots (29 episodes) to get the Nielsen numbers up.

I had set several goals last week:

*Youtube views at 400,000 by January 31, 2009 Accomplished - we are at 430,000 and climbing as of today.

*UHD Board-14,000 posts by January 31, 2009 - we are at 12,650 as of today

*Nielsen numbers 2 million by December 29, 2008 - last week we had 1.25 million which was an 80% improvement over the show it replaced.

We need to see the numbers improve to make a statement and get executives to take notice. It is imperative that everyone complete the feed back forms every Sunday night and get their letters out to Nancy Tellem at CBS and Bonnie Hammer on Monday morning.

CW Feedback Form: http://cwtv.com/feedback/comments

Over the summer, there was more than gossip about the long-term viability of the CW network. Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes, whose company owns 50%, said "if there's not a good return on it, then we shouldn't be doing it." Then, large affiliate group Tribune not only removed the CW brand from its station monikers, but dropped its affiliation with the network altogether in San Diego.

DVD set corrects poor treatment 'Jericho' received

Review by John Stahl.

Source: Examiner.

People like me who did not watch the first season of the drama "Jericho," when CBS ran it during the 2006-2007 season is the most likely reason that it was canceled after that season until pressure from fans resulted in a seven-episode second season. This campaign prompted me to watch the show when the Scifi, also known as Sighfi, Channel (Scifi) showed reruns approximately one year ago.
