sigh... oh well. I really hate this next fall schedule. No lost...

No Lost? I thought they have an agreement to run the series until 2010. May not start airing in the Fall, but in the Winter like 24.

Still can't understand Jericho's cancellation. You want to beat American Idol, put Amazing Race and Survivor on the same timeslot. I'm hating Les Moonves and David Letterman more and more.

Besides, I don't watch American Idol. I have to be practically brain-dead to enjoy that show.

Are we sure it's not coming back in January or February?

Did you read the article?

CBS canceled the nuclear apocalypse drama, "Jericho," on Wednesday, another sign that television networks are shying away from serial dramas after overloading on them last season.

The network unveiled a fall schedule with five new shows, three of them dramas.

"Jericho" started out strong last fall for CBS. However, like "Lost" on ABC and "Heroes" on NBC, many viewers abandoned the show after it went on a long midseason hiatus.

"We lost a lot of steam," said Kelly Kahl, CBS' chief scheduling executive. "I know we had loyal viewers ... but the show sort of lost its engine and wasn't performing."

I did but I had refused to believe it until I read the upfronts report. Heck I still refuse to believe it.

Yet ABC is still sticking with Lost until 2010 and NBC is giving Heroes another season ... but CBS can't renew Jericho?!?!!!

CBS and Les Moonves, you're a bunch of *expletive* flakes!

I hope other network will pick up Jericho (except CW until I get a digital set-top tuner, and FOX since I got a bad reception from the local station here).

It really shouldn't be Fox for many reasons, least of which is reception quality. If Fox picked it up they would air 9 episodes on Friday evenings and out of order then cancel it complaining that no one was watching it after they went to all the trouble of saving it.

It really shouldn't be Fox for many reasons,...

Yeah, I know what the many reasons are: Space: Above and Beyond, Dru Calling, Firefly, Dark Angel, Brimstone, etc.

Lost isn't coming back until January, which sucks because a lot of the advertising for these next episodes make it sound like its only going to be gone the summer.

I'd like to see Jericho land safely on a cable network. Shows tend to last longer there and it doesnt look like Jericho has a lot of set pieces.

Meh. 24 have used that same "no repeat" format. ABC's Alias too.

Hey, that's your problem. No one forces you to get cable and now you want to get your money's worth out of the subscription.
