After more than 50,000 pounds of peanuts, countless emails, phone calls, faxes, and snail mail messages Jericho has been officially brought back from the grave. Countless individuals doubted the effort and said that it was near impossible to bring a show back from being canceled. It has happened before now and it has happened again with Jericho.
Here was the official statment from CBS:
"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 :)"
I love the last line of the official message.... hahaha. Good work everyone, now just get everyone you know to watch the show when it comes back and we might get it renewed even further than this. Show them ratings and they wouldn't dare cancel it again.

I was just over on Amazon and it looks like they have the 61" LED DLP television for almost $700 off the list price, plus you get free shipping. This makes the price $1,950. That price alone without the free shipping is tempting me to buy a new DLP set. Currently I have a 62" DLP and I couldn't be happier with the set. The only thing I don't like is having to buy bulbs with my current DLP. With this new LED set that problem is solved. Also solved would be the spinning noise that you can hear coming from the color wheel because this set doesn't have that color wheel anymore.
