JERICHO fans are continuing their campaign to bring the show back by
sponsoring more than 200 local ad spots to air on cable TV stations in
the Los Angeles area. The group, dubbed the "Jericho Rangers," has
already purchased a print ad in Variety and rented a billboard in
downtown Los Angeles to show their support for the series and help
find it a new broadcast home. The group paid for the advertising time
through a fundraising campaign which generated more than $6,000 in the
past three weeks. The fan-created 30-second ad features a voiceover
provided by actor Brad Beyer, who played Stanley Richmond on the show.
It's scheduled to air for 10 days, beginning June 12th, during several
popular cable shows, including Ghost Hunters on SCI FI Channel and
Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel. The ad will also be hosted
at the group's official site, www.SaveJerichoAgain.com. JERICHO was
cancelled for the first time last year after one season. CBS brought
it back for seven more episodes in early 2008 in response to the
efforts of fans, who sent in bags of nuts in support of the show.
After the new episodes earned lackluster ratings, CBS decided not to
renew the show for fall.
