I just started watching the Jericho series, and I started became interested in its concept. Are there any other shows or movies that are about post nuclear war scenarios?

Article about Futurama's return.
Editor: This paragraph about TV shows returning after an absence is interesting:
This trend may continue, suggests Dr. Jeffrey Weinstock of Central Michigan University, author of several books on pop culture and the editor of "Taking South Park Seriously" (SUNY Press, 2008). "Niche cable channels and Hulu give reruns time to develop a kind of following that network television usually doesn't allow," he says. "Niche audiences build up a momentum, a critical mass of potential viewers, and then you can bring [a show] back."

TV ratings giant Nielsen has decided not to adjust its national TV ratings sample to ensure that it properly represents households equipped with personal computers or Internet access. The decision follows an annual review of the process Nielsen uses to determine what types of households and individuals to mathematically "weight" to ensure that they represent the population at large.

From Redsox:
Our Very own Beebull has been doing a lot of legwork visiting local comic book stores and gathering information. He was informed that we need to get out there now and get pre-orders in by August 28th. The stores pre-order 2 months out and with the October 28th being the tentative publishing date - we need people to get out and pre-order the Jericho comic books now!
From Beebull:
The stores usually order just 10 to 15 percent more copies then their customers pre-orders. These additional copies go on their store shelves. Yes they can call in for additional pre- orders after August 28th -but unless there is a large customer demand for more pre-orders they WILL NOT SUBMIT ANY MORE PRE-ORDERS FOR THAT ISSUE !
We need to get people going now to get those pre-orders up.

Note: The comic shops order from a distributor's catalog, so you just have to ask for the Jericho comic from DDP and the comic owner will go to the DDP section of the catalog and order it for you.

Looking through a copy of the comic catalog Previews recently, I realized how many canceled TV shows have been spun off into ongoing comic series: Buffy, Farscape, Jericho, even Galactica 1980... Why can't we say goodbye to things we love?
Editor: Good plug for the Jericho comic.

News from JK (www.jericho-kansas.com)
20 August 2009
While we understand many of you may have moved onto other entertainment interests, we hope that our occasional newsletter updates are still welcome and not viewed as intrusive.
We thought we’d give an update on the possible Jericho movie. Those who have been following the story may remember that in January Jon Turtletaub announced the possibility of a Jericho movie. At Wondercon this year, JK staff confirmed with the producers of Jericho that a Jericho movie project was indeed in the works. The story was later confirmed by SciFi wire.
You can see the video confirmation on our sister site’s homepage: www.savingjericho.com
SciFi story: http://scifiwire.com/2009/03/producer-jericho-movie-is.php
While details have been few and far between, it is our understanding that the Jericho movie is still in the story planning stage. At this stage there is no finished script nor have actors been signed. Still, Junction Entertainment and Jon Turtletaub brought us the National Treasure movies and certainly have the ear of Major Studios.
Dear Jericho Rangers,
In October, Devil's Due Publishing will release the first of six issues of Jericho: Season 3 - Civil War. This is a continuation of the story that began in Jericho and will pick up from the end of season 2. The success of this comic book will help move the Jericho movie further down the development pipeline. We realize that for some fans purchasing comic books may be something new or something you haven't done in years. We are sending out this email to provide you the information you need to purchase the new comic book.
You can purchase the comic at your local comic shop. You can locate your local comic shop at www.comicshoplocator.com. Some shops will even let you pre-order, or hold aside the comics for you.
If you don't have a local comic shop in your area, one of the best on-line mail order services is www.mycomicshop.com . It is run by Lone Star Comics, the largest comic retailer in Texas. While they don't have pre-order available, it will be available for order in the new releases section (www.mycomicshop.com/newreleases ) the week of each month the comic is published. This is also good option if you want to buy multiples of each issue - they do offer free shipping for order of $50 or more! They will also be stocking the comics as "back issues".
While DDP is planning on putting out a graphic novel of these first six issues in early 2010, it is important that we support the individual comic issues as the sales figures for these are what CBS Consumer Products (the licensing arm of CBS Television Studios) and DDP will be looking at. The Sales figures are also important for the graphic novel, but the ongoing individual comic issues are what count the most! So, October to February, we need to buy and support each issue.
Also, Jericho Rangers for Our Troops (JR4OT) is providing Comic Relief for Our Troops. This is an opportunity for you to provide the comic book through donations to our troops overseas. Please visit www.comicsfortroops.com for details.
For those who might be interested in learning more about comics and a have a chance to meet up will other Jericho Rangers, we suggest you visit your local comic book convention. You can find conventions in your area by visiting http://www.conventionscene.com/schedules/comicbookconventions/
Please help support our effort to continue the Jericho story by making Jericho: Season 3 - Civil War a success.
Thank You,
Your Fellow Jericho Rangers

In May 2008, fans of a cancelled television program, Jericho, dumped more than 4,000 pounds of peanuts on the doorstep of Nielsen Media Research. Shipping peanuts had become the statement of choice for the fans, who had secured a truncated second season after sending more than 20 tons to CBS.

Every time someone who starred in Jericho makes a public appearance, it’s inevitable that they get asked if they’re up for more Jericho, and in particular, a Jericho movie.

Apart from the question of whether anyone else got hurt in the drive-by shooting that kept us all hanging in the season finale of CSI: NY, and the question of how the new characters will change the team's dynamic, there's the question of the cases they will tackle. There's an idea: a serial killer.

It was in May of 2007 when the Nuts campaign kicked off to save Jericho from certain death. I had only one week before began tearing through the episodes online, basking in the warm glow of being able to watch what I wanted on demand and at the cost of only a couple of short commercials.
