News from JKI (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.

Jericho Not Dead? Movie announced.

The Jericho Graphic Novel.

Jericho Not Dead? Movie announced.

 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, JKI 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.

The Jericho Graphic Novel.

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

With television having an impact on us every day, there are some interesting stories about how it can inspire us. The series “Jericho” is one example, and a Panama City woman is involved.

Nielsen this week will begin measuring the Internet usage of some members of its national TV ratings sample, and if the controversial test goes well, plans to make a decision this fall to expand the integration of TV and Internet measurement beyond the limited test sample to "build a foundation for the inclusion of online viewing in our television currency."

An article on shows that may be canceled.

Editor: Will Harris compares Reaper to Jericho. His description of Jericho is "I'm reminded of “Jericho,” a show which started strong, got confused part of the way through its freshman season, but then finished stronger than it began and came back for Season 2 with a fucking vengeance."

TiVo is apparently moving farther into Nielsen territory. Specifically, it's launching local-market measurement this summer, which is itself uninteresting except to network affiliates, advertisers, and the hardest-core TV ratings geeks. But the bigger issue is that TiVo is continuing to creep into the ratings business, having already launched a national service in February 2007.

Jericho was canceled again due to low ratings after the second season, but true to its reputation as a show that refuses to die, the storyline was recently continued in a Jericho comic published by Devil’s Due. Rob was given the task of co-writing a few issues in that storyline.

Unsatisfied with the ratings, CBS canceled Jericho after it’s first season, but passionate fans refused to let the show die. Organizing via fan sites and fan message boards, they began a campaign to revive the show. Playing off of a line in the finale where Skeet Ulrich’s character quotes General McAuliffe’s defiant “Nuts!” in the face of superior German forces demanding his surrender, they sent over 20 tons of nuts to the CBS offices as a show of support. The effort paid off, and CBS, intrigued by the passionate response, began arranging Jericho’s return

We continue our conversation with writer Robert Levine. After CBS picked up Jericho, executive producer Carol Barbee hired Robert – her former assistant – as a staff writer on the serialized drama. Jericho was set in a small town of Kansas following a nuclear attack on 23 major cities in the U.S. Cut off from power and communications, the town’s folk spend much of the first season trying to fend for themselves and figure out a new way of life. As luck would have it, Rob’s first episode, “Crossroads”, deals with a significant turning point in that ongoing storyline

A few weeks ago, Robert Levine was generous enough to grant me an hour and a half of his time to trace his career in TV writing. Robert is currently a writer and executive story editor on Human Target and he’s been a staff writer on Jericho and Harper’s Island, as well has having writing credits on Judging Amy and Close to Home..

Nielsen Friday announced plans to merge online viewing of TV programs into its so-called C3 ratings, which are the official currency for buying and selling advertising in the national TV marketplace. Nielsen described the plan as "extended screen reporting," and said it would be implemented after it completes the rollout of Internet meters in its national TV ratings panel by the end of August, with initial data being made available to the industry starting with the month of September.

Urged by clients to move faster, Nielsen announced Tuesday a plan to accelerate adding an Internet measurement to its national ratings sample. The plans call for Nielsen to complete the roll out by Aug. 31, 2010, instead of some time in 2011 as previously planned.

If the new Coalition for Innovative Media Measurement seemed like a competitor to Nielsen, its announced upcoming meeting on Nov. 10 with five research companies doesn't show it. As a first step in coming up with innovation regarding set-top box data, CIMM has invited Rentrak, TiVo, TRA, TNS -- and Nielsen -- to the New York City meeting as a first step to its request for proposal (RFP) process. Those five companies are current providers of set-top box data.
