Get online and send a bag today, it is the easiest thing to do. If you love the show, do it now. I sent my bag of peanuts to Kelly Kahl at CBS.

Next step is to post off a irate letter or two.. or three or four..
shame really.
Keep it going!
We have recently started a campaign in order to save the television show Jericho. In the final episode, there was a story about an American officer responding simply with the word "Nuts" when asked to surrender. With this in mind, we have begun sending bags of various nuts to CBS executives as a unique way of showing support. We would appreciate it if you could any way help support our cause. Ideas would be a segment of your website dedicated to it where either by answering a questionnaire or small fee would guarantee us that you send a small single serving bag in our name. Another idea may be a Save Jericho commemorative jar that has a peel off label we could send mail ourselves. If you do the latter, I would ensure you that many of us would purchase this jar.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
A Consumer
This has been proven tested by other campaigns to save other shows.
anyone is creative and is willing to do a homemade video about the Nuts
campaign please do so and sent the
links to the Jericho boards so we can
comment on it and rate it. If this video
due get featured it might end up on
yahoo front page and other web
sources. When making this video please
Keep the title vague with Nuts in it so
that non Jericho watchers will be
curious to see what its all about. The
video should be creative with the
mention of sending nuts to CBS to
bring back jericho.

"Sh*t listing" is rather well known to be a losing tactic. If I may draw an analogy to base-stealing in the National Pastime, unless you actually talked to 7 of those 10, you're not just wasting your time, you're shooting yourself in the foot and actively hindering your putative comrades.

In case you have not heard, CBS has cancelled Jericho. And in case you have not heard, there is a fan protest and “Save Jericho” movement afoot. Simply Google “Save Jericho” and you will see what I mean.
Right now it is just Jericho fandom vs CBS -- some random number of four and five figured incomed sweat-suit wearing individuals against a unified core of six and seven figure incomed stuffed suits. It should be something bigger though. This should be a battle of ALL disgruntled and discounted customers/viewers against ALL corporate giants that would dictate to us what we will and will not be watching. If CBS gets away with canceling Jericho, then ALL viewers suffer.
CBS is stuck in the Old Media mode -- bean counting and Nielsen’s. This is very ironic because CBS actually encouraged the use of web based tools with: the CBS forums, Innertube, Countdown, Beyond Jericho, and even YouTube snippets. Yet when push came to shove, CBS’ sole excuse to kill Jericho was the Nielsen numbers.
What did CBS expect when they cancelled Jericho? Did they really expect that millions of web-empowered and fiercely loyal viewers would just meekly set down the remote and be herded like sheep to watch "Kid Nation"? Did CBS learn nothing from their own Dan Rather, who defied and demeaned this very same group as "bloggers sitting at their computer in their underwear"? This very same group that educated Dan Rather about the new way of things and the New Media and forced him to step down a short time later?
Something tells me that some very high ranking people in CBS are quite red-faced right now. They should have known better than to cancel Jericho, but they did so anyway, using Old Media mentality. If Jericho IS brought back, then some top executives will have a lot of explaining to do to Les Moonves, and the CBS board of directors, and stockholders as to why Jericho was cancelled to begin with.
I wonder right now if CBS feels that they have created a "Frankenstein’s Monster" in the form of Jericho's fan base. Are we the fans not everything that CBS asked for? They wanted smart viewers that could embrace and discuss highly controversial topics and issues. They wanted savvy viewers that could navigate the net. They wanted resourceful viewers that could integrate the web based tools and tie-ins for those nights when they could not watch it as scheduled. They wanted loyal viewers who would carry a serial, and patient viewers who would be willing to wait for the payoff during long story arcs and even a hiatus.
Well CBS should have been careful for what they wished for, because CBS got it with the Jericho fans. And their Old Media mentality of wanting to simply treat and dismiss these fans as irrelevant low Nielsen numbers, to shuffle off to a new project or experiment isn't going to work.
We the fans are New Media. We don't do Nielsen’s like CBS wants us to.
We do blogs. We do forums. We do networking. We do petitions, viral videos, emails, faxes, cellular phone campaigns, and yes -- when it suits us -- snail mail. We also do online nut delivery.
We cannot be turned off at some Programming Director’s whim. And we can't be tossed out like yesterday's expired demographic.
I see this current fan uprising as more than just saving a show. I see this as a very high stakes game of chicken -- Old Media and New Media in a head-on collision. For CBS, careers and reputations are at stake. For us the fans, our value as individuals, our value as a collective fandom, and our choices and future of quality programming are at risk.
I don't know how the “Save Jericho” campaign is going to end. But I suspect that a lot of people are watching right now. And I suspect that this movement to save Jericho will be a key pivotal point in how the networks provide future programming and interaction with their customer, the viewer.
Good luck, and hang in there all you Jericho fans. We have a chance for something big here – bigger than ourselves.
Keep up the good work troops! The Save Jericho Campaign is making headway! We have proof that we're doing everything right!
No more reality that bears no relation to reality. I actually resort to watching the food channel because at least I will learn something! I refuse to watch crap, but apparently the message is not getting back to them.
American Idol - is it really as singing contest? I think NOT; It seems to me that it is a tool to sell text messages for Cingular - the new AT&T!! Otherwise, why do you have to text a zillion times for the one you want to stay on the show rather than one vote to boot someone off?
So, it seems that we have to get the message to the advertisers. Here's the message: I don't see your commercials and therefore don't buy your products because I refuse to watch crap!!
"Below is a statement from CBS Entertainment:
To the fans of Jericho:
We have read your emails over the past few days and have been touched by the depth and passion with which you have expressed your disappointment. Please know that canceling a television series is a very difficult decision. Hundreds of people at the Network, the production company and the incredibly-talented creative team worked very hard to build and serve the community for this show -- both on-air and online. It is a show we loved too.
Thank you for supporting Jericho with such passion. We truly appreciate the commitment you made to the series and we are humbled by your disappointment. In the coming weeks, we hope to develop a way to provide closure to the compelling drama that was the Jericho story.
Sincerely,
Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment"

I sent 5 letters this morning... 20 bucks worth of nuts last night
Folks I think if we keep raising a stink... enough people will get curious and watch the online shows...
I wouldn't be suprised if this were a publicity stunt... CBS has to appreciate that this hype will mean better ratings when
they reinstate the show next fall!
Let's hope it's a publicity stunt. Let's HOPE we are pawns... and let's keep doing what the big corp wants... and plugging out publicity...
I really wanna see another two or three seasons of this show... there is so much room for more story!

Tomorrow at 5 p.m. EST, log onto http://www.paltalk.com/newstalk/jbraverman_episode... for a live video chat with “NUTS for Jericho” visionary Jeffrey Braverman regarding his unprecedented grassroots campaign presently driving CBS execs, well, nuts. Since May 16th, Jericho fans have deluged network offices with nine tons’ worth of nuts in protest of the show’s recent axing; CBS has called it the most emphatic display of support it has ever witnessed by fans mobilizing via the Internet to protest a cancellation.
NewsTalk is a PalTalk-exclusive interactive video chat in which award-winning host Gary Baumgarten invites people from all around the world to talk directly to his newsmaker guests.
PalTalk is pleased to assist Jericho enthusiasts’ impressive, unique efforts to revive their favorite show. Help maintain the fight by logging onto http://www.paltalk.com/newstalk/jbraverman_episode... tomorrow at 5 p.m. EST, and telling friends and family to do the same!
"visionary Jeffrey Braverman regarding his unprecedented grassroots campaign presently driving CBS execs"
He didn't start the campaign to send peanuts to cbs. The NUTS to CBS campaign was started a full week before they got involved. While I love the fact that they are involved and I really admire what they are doing, it isn't right to say that it is his campaign to start this effort.

"Below is a message from CBS Entertainment.
June 6, 2007
To the Fans of Jericho:
Wow!
Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard.
As a result, CBS has ordered seven episodes of “Jericho” for mid-season next year. In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more “Jericho,” we will need more viewers.
A loyal and passionate community has clearly formed around the show. But that community needs to grow. It needs to grow on the CBS Television Network, as well as on the many digital platforms where we make the show available.
We will count on you to rally around the show, to recruit new viewers with the same grass-roots energy, intensity and volume you have displayed in recent weeks.
At this time, I cannot tell you the specific date or time period that “Jericho” will return to our schedule. However, in the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences. This includes re-broadcasting “Jericho” on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing the story of Jericho in the digital world until the new episodes return. We will let you know specifics when we have them so you can pass them on.
On behalf of everyone at CBS, thank you for expressing your support of “Jericho” in such an extraordinary manner. Your protest was creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone. You made a difference.
Sincerely,
Nina Tassler
President, CBS Entertainment
P.S. Please stop sending us nuts :)"
We love Jericho.
KUDOS to all of you,
Death to reality TV
