Proving the pilot wasn't a fluke, Jericho continues to bring the suspense, and manage to make something as ordinary as a rain cloud seem like one of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse.

Review of Jericho.

Can I first say that, even before I saw the title of tonight's episode, that I totally guessed it just from looking at the previews CBS has been showing? It was either very predictable or I had a Dionne Warwick Psychic Friends Network moment.

Every year, there’s at least one show that I actually like, I just don’t have time to watch it. This year that show will probably be “Jericho.”
In all honesty, I had no intentions of liking it. The reviews were not very good and the concept was a little scary. Yet, somehow, I found myself getting engrossed in the premiere, no matter how hard I tried not to.

Jericho is one of the new shows from CBS this season and I’m here to tell you that it is one compelling show. When I say “compelling” I mean it quite literally… I felt compelled to keep watching it (I also saw the 2nd episode of the season).

Good grief! I just watched the first episode of that gripping new TV series, "Jericho". My jaw just dropped! What if what they described actually DID happen -- that there was a nuclear attack on Denver and Atlanta and who knows where else -- and YOUR small town was the only thing left standing in the entire USA? This is one heck of a TV show. I'm looking forward to future episodes.

Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich), prodigal son of the town’s mayor (Gerald McRaney), becomes a reluctant hero when a school bus crashes as a result of the explosion. On the bus is Heather Lisinski (Sprague Grayden), a pretty young schoolteacher who was returning with her students from a class trip when the glare of the explosion caused the terrible accident.
Playing such a sweet character is new to Manchester, Massachusetts native Sprague Grayden, who is known for taking on roles that are more quirky and off-beat. “I think Heather represents the innocence that we all have, and the safety that we all feel,” she tells MediaBlvd Magazine. “You’re going to really see her grow up. She’s the manifestation of that loss of innocence, and that’s really exciting to me because we’re going to watch her evolve and change a lot. She already starts out pretty strong, even though she’s the minister’s daughter, but I’m not really sure where she’s going to go.”

Is Jericho necessary?
This question may be trite (Is any show truly necessary? I mean, besides "Flavor of Love"), but Jericho really does seem needless. The pilot was good, so I'm not saying I didn't like it. It's just that I wonder if viewers want something this depressing. Jericho is an end-of-the-world scenario type of show, taking place in a small Kansas town during a wide range nuclear attack on America. By the end of the pilot, we know that Denver and Atlanta have been hit, but it's safe to assume a number of other big cities have been also. A point in Jericho's favor is that it skirts any political issues; we have no idea who attacked and there is no uber-patriotic rah-rah America stuff. Jericho could have easily gone down that path (and maybe it eventually will).

I've found my new TV addiction, Jericho. Something had to take over the void left when NBC cancelled last season's best newcomer, Surface. I may be one of the few people in the country who was legitimately excited for Jericho. I even had the full page ad stuck to my fridge door.

“Jericho,” a gripping, one-of-a-kind drama that begins at 7 CT tonight on CBS, is the story of a small town whose cares are violently swept away by an atomic cloud that appears on the horizon.

Just one thing weird about Wednesday's otherwise enthralling pilot episode of CBS' new post-nuke family drama "Jericho."
How does an entire Kansas small town face the possible end of the world, or at least civilization as we know it, without somebody invoking the almighty?

When the best part of your show is Gerald McRaney, you've got trouble.

CBS unveiled Jericho tonight and they may have hit it big. It's always tough to tell after just one episode, but Jericho has the potential to capture the magic of ABC's Lost.
Here's the quick snyopsis... In the small Kansas town of Jericho, the citizens are startled to see a mushroom cloud rise up from the west-- possibly from Denver. All electricity goes out in the town, and their contact with the outside world is completely cut off. Was it an accident? Or is the US under attack?

Jericho is a new series from CBS about people living in a small town in Kansas who see a nuclear explosion off in the distance. In the first episode we learn that the nuclear explosion occured in Denver. We watch as traffic accidents unfold from people staring at the mushroom cloud. We see the citizens of Jericho start to panic just a few hours into their new post-apocalyptic world. Next week, Jericho residents dig into their stock of duct tape to protect themselves from radioactive fallout.

Tonight CBS held an online press conference for bloggers in preparation for the debut of new series Jericho. The participants were executive producer Jon Turteltaub and star Skeet Ulrich.
Review by Brian Lowry.

In an interesting strategy, CBS appears to be looking to leverage ABC's Wednesday-night "Lost" addiction by establishing the mysterious "Jericho" as a cross-network lead-in. Another sociological examination of a community sequestered from the world -- in this case, by a distant mushroom cloud and ensuing radio/TV blackout -- the series opens an intriguing door, but invites doubt whether the attached corridor is long enough to sustain a multiseason tour. Despite sharp casting, the real trick will be to develop Cold War-style fear while dribbling enough clues to elevate this above being just a post-apocalyptic "The Young and the Restless."

There’s no way around it, “Jericho” is going to be compared to “Lost”. The show - set in a community that’s been exposed to a giant mushroom cloud - like “Lost”, centres on a band of strangers who must band together when the world they know slips away from them at the most inopportune of times.
Actor Skeet Ulrich, playing the show’s involuntary hero Jake Green, doesn’t see the comparison though – because, well, quite simply, he’s never seen “Lost”.

Yep...late night filming tonight.
We're into episode 6 right now. It's the week of Labor Day, and our season premiere is just 2 weeks away.
