Jericho - anyone still watching?

[Rackhir]

True, but really watching the 8 new episodes that will come out in either November or January will do more for the show than buying the DVDs.

Sure if you're one of the few thousand people in the country who are nielsen families. Otherwise it doesn't really matter what you're watching. Personally, I've never even known anyone who's said they've known a nielsen family.

If you have a TiVo that might count. Since they've announced that they are going to be "taking into account" tivos. What ever that means.

DVD sales on the other hand are a easily quantifiable and very clear number, not to mention a direct revenue stream. Anyone who is going to shell out $40 for season one is clearly going to be watching season 2 and all they have to do to figure that out is to total the sales figures and divide by $40.

I was looking at the DVDs and Amazon and saw this:

Some music has been changed for this home entertainment version.
Some episodes may be edited from their original network versions.

Anyone know what changes have been made?

Right now, they only look at people watching the show when it's been broadcast. Anyone who timeshifts isn't counted in the ratings. While it's not hard to do - TIVO saves all kinds of anonymized data about your viewing habits (the most watched and re-watched 5 seconds of TiVo ever is the Janet Jackson/Superbowl incident), how soon do you need to watch the show to have it count? I'm sure that there are other logistical oddities to iron out, and new rules would need to be created for the inclusion of DVR/TiVo data.

Season 2 of Jericho starts in February.

I got a sneak peak at the first 3 episodes of the season, and they're awesome. I hope the rest of the limited season keeps up with what I've seen so far.

February can't come too soon for me.

 

[Darkwolf71]

Definatly looking forward to this. Great show.

I can't wait. Between Lost and Jericho, I'd say the strike isn't hurting me much yet.

Unless CBS betray us and put in another new installment of Kid Nation.

Hopefully they advertise it enough. I know it's coming up, but I'm still not sure which date or station (in Canada).
