I've been traveling on business this past week, so I've been a bit uplugged. After reading some posts last night, I thought it would be nice to check in with Karim to see what the latest is. We exchanged a couple of emails, and I wanted to share what I learned (Karim said it was OK). There's not too much to report, but sometimes it's just nice to know things are still moving.

He, Dan Shotz, Jon Steinberg and Carol Barbee have meeting on the books, and are currently meeting with executives on other possibilities for Jericho. This is a busy time of year in the TV industry, so this process will take some time but they are committed to it. He also said that they'd keep us in the loop as info becomes clearer. And finally, Karim said, "Can't begin to thank you enough for everything you guys are doing on the Message Boards."

I think they want Jericho to return as much as we do and are doing everything in their power to bring Jericho back. They're still watching what we're doing here as well. Let's keep up the fight for them and for us!

From the moment I stumbled onto the television audience measurement industry in 1999, what I have found utterly unexplainable is not how Nielsen maintains its stranglehold on the industry — with that I am well acquainted. No, what has perplexed me is how Nielsen executives manage never to talk about how they do what they do. More than a billion dollars a year in revenue (not to mention the $250 Billion or so spent in Los Angeles and New York chasing Nielsen’s approval) and virtually no published analysis concerning changes in data collection technologies, ascription policies, and weighting or stratification of the sample? Zip. Zero. Nothin’. Nada. It would be comical were it not so fiendishly frightening.

While the lively debate may have occasionally detracted from the discussion of set-top box data concerns, I thought the takeaway from the panel was clear: a number of the purported "issues" surrounding set-top box data have not only been evaluated but many have been solved by (among others) researchers at TNS and Rentrak. It was then particularly frustrating for me to overhear as the audience was moving toward the exits, a disheartening comment from an experienced media buyer, "In the end it doesn't really matter because we have to have a single currency and the panel is the only way to get it." Ah, those in charge of the Nielsen propaganda machine must be working overtime again.

Audience spoke loud and clear Tuesday night simply by staying away from CBS's debut of SECRET TALENTS OF THE STARS, a new unscripted TV series that hit the canvas even before the bell was finished ringing, reported Reuters.

Ironically enough, this was the replacement series for JERICHO which was only given a seven episode, second season run in the same time slot before being cancelled after its season finale aired. Once again CBS must be kicking themselves again for cutting from their roster one of their best (and most loyally viewed cult series).

We can now add one more series to this list, as CBS has announced that they're yanking Secret Talents of the Stars from the air after one broadcast.

First net savvy, intelligent SF fans inundated CBS with 40,000 pounds of peanuts after CBS execs canceled “Jericho.” They got their inspiration from the lead character, Jake Green’s response to a call to surrender from a stronger force that was rising against the small Kansas town. That major sign of protest on the part of fans got them a shortened second season which just ended. Now comes the next wave to get some other network or cable station to acquire the rights to the show and put out a third season of this fan favorite that won’t go down easy.

A few days ago, I posted an entry on the last few episodes of Jericho, a CBS apocalyptic series about folks in a small town in Kansas after a series of nuclear explosions take out a dozen or so American cities—and interestingly, that post’s received more hits than any other post I’ve ever written.

Watch it again, from the start.

Starting at 10 Eastern tonight and every Tuesday night for the next 28 weeks, Jericho fans everywhere are going to be glued to their computers for 44 minutes (is that what it is, commercial-free?) watching every episode of Jericho online. The effort is clled The Great Jericho ReWatch.

Knowing how enamored I am by disasters of epic proportions and my penchant for crisis management (!), some fanatical fanlings of the TV series “Jericho” have been encouraging me to watch the first season (this was prior to its cancellation, they are much more subdued at present). So I did.

I don't know what it is about April Fool's that just brings out the cruelty in me. But no, CBS will not dump their modestly well rated piece of evil crap for their poorly rated cult fave.

So great news for all you Jericho fans out there. Showtime has just announced that they have picked up the former CBS show for two full seasons.

"We pitched the seoncd season to the network as 'occupation, resistance and revolution', and that's a beginning, middle, end of the season," says executive producer Carol Barbee. "Last season was about surviving a nuclear attack and saving a town. This year it's about saving the country and a way of life and system of government. And next season will be about saving the world. So it is expanding and becoming a more epic story."

The Cheyenne government that appeared to save the day in Jericho's war with New Bern turns out to be one of several governments that have sprung up across the country, says Barbee.

"There is food and products, and people can get things they need, and we start to get cell phones and all the rest of it. So we get communication back. But there is a price to be paid for that, because the Cheyenne government is a bit of a rebel government. However, the real government, the real heirs to the democratically elected government of the United States, are in Columbus, Ohio."

Another factor will be a group of contractors called Jennings and Rall, who've been hired by "the Cheyenne government to do the day-to-day rebuilding. They are our version of Halliburton."

With seven episodes ordered and completed, Barbee hopes it all adds up to viewers being hungry for another season. "I think this season tells a great, great story, and it leaves us on the prepicice where Jake and Hawkins have another thing they need to do. And we want to see them do it."

Jericho, CBS's excellent postapocalyptic drama set in rural Kansas has been cancelled. Again. Jericho drew a large following among the tech demo. Besides the obvious sci-fi draw, Jericho explored themes of government intervention and self-sufficiency, which are passionate topics among the more tinfoil-hat Libertarians of the Web. But shows that please netizens aren't moneymakers.
