Jericho fans in mourning for the show have a reason to smile again. For the second time this month, a former Jericho cast member is guest starring on the new CBS show Flashpoint! This week, Kenneth Mitchell appears as a wife-abusing cop taken hostage by an angry family member in the episode entitled "Asking for Flowers". A bit of a departure from Eric Green, huh? Mitchell says he's heard rumors of a Jericho film and he'd love to do it. Fingers crossed.

It’s a recurring question that I’ve been asking myself on many occasions. While it seems widely accepted by every major party on the business that, however flawed Nielsen ratings maybe, they have been an established ratings measurement institution for many years and everyone just agrees to accept whatever numbers they come up with because, at the end of the day, they are believed to represent an overall “accurate” representation of which TV shows are the most watched every day, one can’t help but wonder.

By coupling a combined effort by international fans to honor General McAuliffe with the controversial NTN movement I believe the stateside leaders of the campaign did the effort a disservice.

The mods on the Jericho boards at UHD have been giving us tips on what has worked in the past for the Browncoats to increase their board's traffic and get the admin at UHD to take notice. One of their weekly deals is to host a Shindig (or in our case a Ranger Rally). What they do is all gather when Firefly is airing on UHD and watch the show together while posting on the special Shindig thread that is started each week for the show. It's a good way to spike the board's activity for an hour or two at a set time on one day and make the powers that be notice that there is still interest in both the show airing on their network and in the messageboard.

We’ve decided that our postcards need a little zazz. So, we’re asking for your help. We would like to hold a small contest for a picture to be included on the postcards we will be sending out to CBS PARAMOUNT in support of Jericho.

Please note the prize for this contest is having the honour of your art on the postcards, which will be signed by people at the Fan Expo, and then sent to Paramount.

And, we might just buy you a drink…if you’re in Toronto.

The picture to be included will be a maximum of 3”x4”. It’s small, but it’s going on a 4x6 postcard, black and white. The art can be anything you choose that is Jericho related. It can be compilations, cartoons, caricatures … anything you want.

All images must be posted/submitted by August 10th, and voting will take place shortly thereafter. They will need to be sent to print by the 15th, so there is only a short window to vote. Please do NOT go on vacation that week! : )

In an International protest the Fans of Jericho are protesting the antiquated Nielsen ratings system both stateside in Tampa Bay and in Europe at Bastogne, Belgium. The first is yet another “Nuts” to Nielsen friendly shelling of a local media outlet, The Tampa Bay Business Journal to protest Nielsen’s horrendous treatment of American workers in the Tampa Bay Area. The Latter is a tribute to General McAuliffe who in World War 2 held off the Germans at a critical battle in Bastogne, Belgium. When he was asked to surrender vastly outnumbered he responded “Nuts”. This became the signature scene in the Jericho Season 1 Finale and the battle Cry behind Save Jericho campaigns. Nuts to Nielsen have previously protested by sending over 5,000 pounds of Nuts to the Nielsen Oldsmar facility, Variety Magazine, Hollywood Reporter and Nielsen Headquarters.

Nielsen research shows that global ad spending climbed 4% in the first quarter, even as an economic slowdown accelerated. Yet much of the growth came from outside the U.S. and Canada, which saw a 1% increase. Spending in Europe, where the waters may be getting choppier than the U.S., was essentially flat--down .4%, compared to the same period last year.

Jeremiah in Syndication

Jeremiahrong> 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 premiered 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 (creator of Babylon 5) and airs in four-hour blocks. 

JKI has an on-going thread, for those of you who want to compare this post-apocalyptic TV series with Jericho.

Journey to the Center of the Earth -- 3D

Some of us have seen this movie and think it is unusual and interesting enough to mention.p>

Let’s be upfront and just get it out in the open, this is a popcorn action flick and is not going to be nominated for any awards for either acting or writing. Still, as the first movie to hit the screens both filmed in and meant to be shown in Real-D™ this one actually delivers. 

We won’t go too much into this new 3D process, other than this is simply a far better and more immersive 3D processes than those which have come before. The picture is clear and less prone to blurring.

This movie is one huge theme-park ride with a pulp-novel Saturday Matinee feel and is aimed at the family market. If you want to get a feel for the direction the movie industry is headed than this movie will certainly deliver.

To say that to some extent Jericho Fans are frazzled would be an understatement. 4 Months have gone by since the cancellation of the show a second time; 4 months of waiting with very little to sustain them. This is no ones fault per se; the producers of the show have been attempting to negotiate new deals for Jericho while continuing on with their daily responsibilities. Such things take time so the fans mission, which they have chosen to accept, is to wait and believe in tomorrow.

Not often does a television show fandom receive the notoriety the fans of now-cancelled CBS serial drama, Jericho, have received. Not content to allow the show to die, fans have waged two battles to have their beloved show renewed. The first battle involving 20 tons of nuts resulted in a shortened second season renewal. However, CBS again refused to renew the show, which has developed a close-knit and productive fan following.

Today, SAG made a full counter-proposal to the Big Media cartel negotiating group's supposed "last best final" offer put on the table June 30th. I'm told SAG and the AMPTP "got closer together today" because the union worked hard to "remove some of the differences" and "made a number of moves" in the AMPTP's direction.

Anyway, I stopped by my local grocery's Redbox do-it-yourself DVD vending machine. They had no Jericho. So I emailed them at questions@redbox.com to request that they carry Jericho Season 2. They were very polite in their reply, and said to check back as they change titles regularly.

Johnny Cash had a way of reaching into our culture and pulling out our stories. He set them to music so we could recognize ourselves. This song is not about the Jacob Green we know but it might be about someone he once resembled and that, along with the title, is enough for us to feature it here.

In a bid to nudge SAG toward cutting a deal, the majors have included a $10 million sweetener to their final offer -- on the condition that the guild ratify the pact by Aug. 15.

One of the things we need to start doing is reaching out to fans and potential fans that do not visit our humble abode here at CBS. Since they aren’t coming to us we must beckon them to come. A Google Bomb could be our answer.

The Internet Movie Database is a massive site that is utilized by the movie and television industry to gauge the popularity of it's products. Sometimes those products are the shows we love and in Jericho's case the IMDb has done us a favor by keeping the series ending date open and thus making the important statement that the little show that could still might.

Of course, earlier I touched on the dangers that television programs face in the relevance of the soon to be antiquated Nielsen system as more and more shows are DVR’d and downloaded from iTunes, as Jericho showed.

Good News!  Billboard is still up and looking gorgeous!

Husband reports that as of 9:30 AM this morning (7/9) she is still proudly sending our message to studio executives all over the San Fernando Valley! 

And, I saw Lennie James last night at the HBO Generation Kill premiere.  I understand he is friends with the director.  We chatted about the continuing efforts of the fans.  He mentioned that he drove his daughters to see the billboard and loved it.  I filled him in on the TV Ads and other efforts.  He is very touched by the fan support.  Lennie did not reveal any inside dirt about the state of negotiations but, he did say he is very interested in Jericho returning.

Over the past several decades The Nielsen Company, in its various incarnations, has dominated (monopolised, some might say) America's TV audience measurement business.

Tracking a revolution from inside is tricky, as I've learned from trying to keep up with computers.

But the wave of media innovation set off by fast Internet connections is an order of magnitude that is more challenging still.

When a Lehman Brothers analyst downgrades your whole industry, it kind of makes you sit up and take notice. You’d think an announcement like that would ripple through the internet knee jerk mechanism called the Stock Market. Especially hit might be stocks like The Walt Disney Co., News Corp., CBS Corp., Time Warner Inc. and Viacom Inc..

Oh, wait - that did happen. Earlier this week, Lehman Brothers analyst Anthony DiClemente predicted that digital technology, ie: digital media, will have an impact on DVD sales, and hence, the profits that the TV and movie industry tends to rely on. Just like it did the music industry. It’s noted that profits have already dropped ~12% per Blu-ray disc products that are offered as iTunes downloads.

Despite the Screen Actors Guild's avid campaign, members of the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists have ratified the union's primetime deal by 62.4% -- a tally strong enough to send a rebuke to SAG, but not so strong that Hollywood's immediate future is clear-cut.

I've been mainlining TV shows as I feed. I've watched all of season one of *Jericho*.

The basic premise is that the major American cities are nuked and it follows what happens in one small town in Kansas. I love me a good apocalypse but I find disturbing the trend towards showing nuclear weapons as a minor problem.

I'm told that SAG and the AMPTP are still exchanging info over that new "last best final" offer submitted by the Big Media companies. But let's not be coy: the Screen Actors Guild seems to be understandably playing for time until the results of the AFTRA contract ratification vote are announced.

Jennie Sword appeared throughout both seasons of Jericho in many scenes as a background actor. While she may not have a big prominent credit at the beginning of the show, she’s a star in the hearts of fans everywhere. Here are a few wonderful words from one of our favorite citizens of Jericho:

While NBC Universal (NYSE: GE) is raking in millions from advertising commitments for its TV, online and mobile phone coverage of the Summer Olympics games next month, the network hopes to prove the value of its cross-platform audience reach by promising more precise measurements to influence sales for the 2012 games. NBC has fashioned a measurement system it’s calling “total audience measurement index,” or TAMI, which combines data from Nielsen Media Research and other audience trackers Omniture and Rentrak. Alan Wurtzel, president of research for NBCU, tells the NYT that the goal is not to offer inflated numbers based on the Nielsen records, which tends to be lower than sites’ internal numbers. He says NBC simply wants a more comprehensive view of the way viewers experience the internet and TV coverage.

Just got off the phone with the Executive Offices of a little place called Comcast!

Had a long conversation with the gentleman and told him all about us and Jericho. It was not the gentleman that we sent the emails to but I do have his name and phone number for future contact. He is forwarding all of my comments to the programming dept. and is also going to start streaming episodes of Jericho to watch.

I told him he was going to find more emails today and tonight from us and I really, really, REALLY think we need to flood them with emails this week. We also might want to up our streaming of Fancast as well. He was very interested in our success so far and wished us even more. I told him that when we find new people we send them to both CBS and Comcast to stream the show and he's also going to mention to them about On Demand again.

He did say his office had only....and this is a bit shocking...his office had only received 10 emails since Dec. of 2007 asking for Jericho to be shown......now my dear rangers....I know we can do better than 10 emails in 4 months! Although he did say he had heard a lot about the show in the past 4 months, so that was very good to hear.

You have to laugh at the report currently posted on Nielsen’s site, which insists, “TV Websites Grow More Popular, But Viewers Still Prefer Their TV Sets, According to Nielsen and CTAM.” Yeaaaaah. Isn’t that a bit like the National Rifle Association conducting studies which reveal findings like, “Guns don’t kill people – people do,” as Eddie Izzard once so deftly pointed out?

Ediotr: Jericho is mentioned in this article.
