It might seem odd that I am talking about another network's show.

But by the time you finish reading this you will know why.

Jericho was one of CBS''s most original shows in years.

It was the story of Jericho Kansas.  A nuclear weapon goes off outside of town and the town is cutoff from the outside world. No communication.

It looked at how neighbors interact through diversity and as they learn about what is happening in the outside world it brings a whole mythology with it.

CBS cancelled the show today. The ratings had a dramatic dropoff after the show was put on a 2 month hiatus.

ABC did the same thing with its show LOST and that show as well has seen a dropoff in ratings.

NBC did the same thing with heroes.

All of those networks made huge mistakes by taking the shows off the air from  november until february.

Fox has a weekly series as well they treat properly.

24 starts in january and runs straight through until may.

So CBS cancelled Jericho not due to a ratings dropoff.... They slit their own throat with that series when they put it on hiatus.

Since Jericho was cancelled by CBS.......  I would love to see fox pick the series up and give it the proper treatment of not slicing the series up into two pieces and expecting it to thrive.

Please FOX consider bringing jericho back and give it like 18 episodes straight through. No breaks.  No excuses.
