Hello Fellow Rangers,
I wanted to address a few things. As you know the Welcome Home to Jericho event is going forward and will be held at the Sportsman Lodge in LA April 24-26. We need to get the following link posted. The event is a charity event to raise money for Operation Home Front to donate funds to the families of deployed soldiers.
Many of the cast and crew will be attending. There is a special one Day event fee for Saturday which is the day we will be having the auction, meet and greet with the cast and the dinner. This is a real opportunity to help people and to promote the show in LA. We need to get people there, especially on Saturday April 25th so lets get the word out to the non-online community.
Right now we have been watching writing, emailing since November. Casey Dog and Myvibes have been documenting the numbers and ratings, NorsU and K6 and the RG crew have been keeping their game alive. Rat Keeper has been keeping people updated with JEBS.
As I mentioned back in November and Shaun did way back in March of 2008 this was not going to be an easy or quick fight like what happened following season 1. Epix still remains a target along with the CW and CBS Paramount. With the latest announcement from NBC regarding Friday Night Lights getting another 2 year commitment with the NBC/Direct TV partnership there is real hope for Jericho.
We need to continue to complete our feedback forms, write and email but most importantly get the word out word of mouth to continue to garner new fans. Jericho continues on the CW through June 14, 2009 with the remained of Season 1 and Season2 episodes. Sci Fi continues to show Jericho as does Joost, Hulu, CBS.com and other places on the Web. We need to continue to keep Jericho alive by any and all means necessary until we get the right bean counter and executive at CBS Paramount to finally figure out that Jericho is worth something and can be turned into a franchise that will make money.
Most things is life do not come easy, they require hard work, sacrifice and perseverance. They say timing is everything, right now we need to keep Jericho alive so that when that window of opportunity opens Jericho is still there to go through that window. Everything we have done and are doing are not in vane but in fact has created something that CBS Paramount is still trying to figure out. What ever you can give from a letter, email, message in your car window to attending the charity event matters and is appreciated.
We will get the movie and hopefully new episodes from the collective effort of everyone in Fandum.
