so...do any of you watch this show?? it is, in my opinion, one of the most creative, well written and amazing shows that's been presented on tv in a LONG time!

JerichoThe show is set in the fictional town of Jericho, KS, and tells the story of one town's battle to survive after a wide-spread nuclear attack on the United States. It sounds bleak, ( Read more... )

Wow...it sounds really good! So is it gonna start over this summer so I can start watching it from the beginning? Do you know when it will start?

there's no news yet, as to when they will be airing the show this summer. But...i do know that all 22 episodes are available in their entirety on the CBS website, along with a bunch of other "web-only" content. for example, there are a bunch of mini-episodes with back-story (called 'countdown').

check it out...it's rad. ;)

I enjoyed the show, but the mid-season hiatus that all the networks seemed to think was a great plan completely lost me. It lost me on a couple other shows as well.

The other thing I had trouble with that I found horribly distracting was the amount of effort I had to expend suspending disbelief at the supposed location and size of the town - While it's supposedly in the middle of nowhere, KS, its population of a few thousand would be considered a very large town for those parts. Never mind the fact that there's altogether WAY too much terrain for it to be anywhere near where they say it is. For that kind of view of the Front Range of the Rockies, the town would have to be located about an hour east of Denver.

yeah, well...obviously there is no Jericho, KS...and no New Bern, KS, either. however, that didn't bother me at all. go figure! :)

right, but based on clues in the show, the town should be somewhere in the vicinity of Hutchinson, and the location it's filmed in looks nothing like that part of the state.

Oh, that, and Innertube blows chunks, making it very difficult to watch online. Thank $deity for BitTorrent!
