Closing
Up Shop...
It is with regrets that we announce that Fallout!,
KryptonSite's Jericho page, will be closing, at
least for the forseeable future.
So
much has gone on with the series this summer and I've
felt that I've done an inadequate job of keeping people
up to date. The Nuts campaign came and went (way to go
guys!), excitement for the show has been at an all-time
high... and meanwhile, your webmaster here hasn't been
keeping up the way that he should.
Jericho
is an excellent show with a very good cast and crew and
an extremely dedicated group of fans. For some reason
or another, those fans didn't spend much time here, but
whatever. Now, CBS has embraced the online Jericho
community by launching JerichoRises.com
- a truly impressive site if I ever saw one. There really
wasn't much of a need for this page to exist anymore.
I realized when watching the Jericho panel at Comic-Con
that I'm doing a disservice just by keeping this page
up and not updating it enough.
I've
loved Jericho and you can believe I will be glued
to the TV set for a few days when
the Season 1 DVD set comes out. I'm also sure this
won't be the last time I ever write about the show, and
maybe I'll find a way to write the occasional Jericho
hype without having a separate site or page for it. For
those of you who haven't seen Jericho before, check
out the CBS link above and read more, and WATCH THE SHOW
when it returns to CBS later this year.
The
Jericho mini-forum at KryptonSite will continue
to exist, so please feel free to post there. This site
will also continue to stand as an archive, in case you
want to view old promotional photos or news. If there
are any ideas on how to keep this site going with a way
for it to remain unique, please, by all means, let me
know on the forum. We also encourage all fans who want
to exchange Jericho news to post
it on the Forum, to share it with everyone else. The
KryptonSite Forums are soon going to go through a major
upgrade, so hopefully it'll be a fun place to talk with
other Jericho fans.
The
KryptonSite Network of sites still will continue. Other
sites on the Network include KryptonSite
(for Smallville), HeroSite.net
(for Heroes), and BionicWebsite.com
(for NBC's upcoming Bionic Woman series). There
may be a new site or two in the pipeline, so stay tuned.
Thanks
for the experience, and thanks to those of you who visited
and supported this site during its existence!

Jericho
Season One DVD Is Coming October 2!
The always-reliable TVShowsOnDVD.com
has revealed that Jericho Season One will be on
DVD one week later than expected. The new date is now
October 2, 2007.
The
DVD can now be pre-ordered on Amazon.com at the link below:
Jericho:
Officially Renewed
Some good news, finally... CBS has finally wised
up and has ordered 7 episodes of Jericho as a midseason
replacement. However, if we want to see more than 7 more
shows, it's up to us to ensure that the show has more
of an audience.
CBS
has also revealed that the Season 1 DVD set of Jericho
will be out this Fall. This will be the perfect opportunity
to either get caught up or turn on new fans.
CBS's
President Nina Tassler has released the following open letter
to Jericho fans:
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 e-mails 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 grassroots 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
rebroadcasting Jericho on CBS this summer, streaming
episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS
Audience Network (online), releasing the first season
DVD on Sept. 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
