Jericho

Anybody else watching this show???

I heard about it a while back and I'm digging it so far, it started out nicely and now it's picking up.

I like the premise and it should be really interesting to see where they take the plot and the twists and turns they deliver.

Re: Jericho

I've given it 25 minutes of my life I won't get back. I'm bored, and this is another one, I see being cancelled within 4 weeks.

Re: Jericho

LOL yeah because you can really gauge where a show is headed and how it's going to do based on 25 mins....brilliant.

Re: Jericho

Re: Jericho

This one was on my "maybe Ill check it out" list but after watching it, I have to say that Ill be watching for a while. Smith disappointed me but with lower expectations this one grabbed me.

Re: Jericho

Sucks that I missed this show tonight. I was mega-hyped for this show for the sole reason that an Athenaeum show was used in the trailer that was being showed.

This show was great and I'm really looking forward to next week. The director did a wonderful job of creating a very claustrophobic and creepy atmosphere (maybe it's just me since I grew up in the age of possible nuclear war with the Soviets and some of the younger crowd did not). I've always been interested in seeing how this scenario would play out if it ever, God forbid, happened in real life and although there have been movies about it, this is the first tv series.

Skeet is a very interesting and charismatic young actor and of course Gerald McRaney is an unbelievably great choice to lead the show, fresh off his stint in Deadwood. I give it a big thumbs up, one of best new shows so far I think.

I was 3 months shy of 7 during the Cuban Missle Crisis and unfortunately had an awareness of the situation during and after the conflict. I don't recall a lot way back then, but will always remember my mother telling me "If the bombs hit us there is nothing we can do about it". Very reassuring.
I liked this first episode. Looks like an isolationist theme similiar to "Lost", with mysterious "end of the world" implications.

Re: Jericho

Loved the first show, hopefully it does well in the ratings and CBS keeps it around for a while.

Re: Jericho

I thought it was an ok first episode. Nothing great so far but the premise is cool enough to keep me coming back a few more times to see where it goes.

I got 10 bucks that says Mr Knowitall Black Dude is one of the escaped prisoners. But he was most likely framed for whatever he was in trouble for.

Re: Jericho

I enjoyed the show very much as well and hope it can last but as you all know networks want instant ratings instead of letting a show develop a following over time. The show has alot going for it as it is well acted and the atmosphere was done well.

Re: Jericho

I enjoyed the show, so did my wife. Next weeks episode looks to be pretty interesting.

And for those of you who missed it, it re-airs Friday night at 8PM EST on CBS.

Re: Jericho

I think the premise is really great, but I wasn't overly thrilled with the first episode. It did, however, show me just enough to where I want to watch it again next week. I will give it at least a few more viewings.

Re: Jericho

tonight's episode was good, although it almost seems as though theyre rushing through as if they only plan to do one season or they want to give up all their cards in the beginning to hook everyone early. Well, I'll be sticking around for awhile...

I figured the fugitives would have been a longer story-line yet they killed them off in the second episode. I still think theyre rushing as it looks like possibly next episode theyre already to some other cities.

Re: Jericho

Yeah I felt the same way about the fugitives. Though we really dont know how many of them there were. That bus could have been filled with prisoners and those were the only two that stuck around the bus.
