SciFi Wire is reporting that CBS has canceled the vampire drama Moonlight. I should have expected this, as it was another show I enjoyed, which is usually a good sign that a show will be canceled.
Other canceled shows that I enjoyed: Jericho, Bionic Woman, Journeyman, The Black Donnelly’s, The War At Home.
Aww nuts (saw that one coming, eh?). According to SciFi Wire, CBS has once again canceled Jericho. According to the post, Tuesday’s episode won’t entirely close the door for Jericho, but it also won’t be a real cliffhanger. It’s still possible that the show could get picked up by a cable network (SciFi please????).
I just finished watching Jericho (S2E6). Thanks to the awful time slot, I have to watch Jericho on TiVo the next day. I’d love to watch during the airing, but you try staying up late and then getting up for work by 4 am. Anyway, I may be reading too much into this, but at the end of the episode it stated next week was the “season finale”. Season, not series. With one episode left, they should have already made up their mind if they were going to keep the show around or not.
I’m hoping they keep it around for another season or two. Yes, that’s optimistic, but I like the characters and I think they could do enough for two more full seasons.
Perhaps the lack of any official word is so they can surprise us during the episode and say “You love the show, you fought for the show, and Jericho will return in the fall for a full season.” Or maybe they’ll pull a season one stunt again, and just end it without telling anyone. Ok… I’ll try not to get my hope up too much between now and Tuesday. :p
Thanks to a successful fan revolt, we brought Jericho back for a 2nd season. Granted, it may only be fore 7 episodes, but so far the episodes are really kicking ass.
As good as this season has been so far, it looks like the fans are in for another disappointment. The low number of viewers so far means that this is probably the last we’ll see of Jericho. It’s a shame too, because this really is a damn good show. What can you do though when the show airs at 10:00 pm on a Tuesday.
Back from the dead, tonight Jericho returns to CBS! Tune in tonight at 10 pm and support the great show!
FEARnet.com has an interview with Sophia Myles who plays Beth on CBS’s Moonlight. It was a bit slow to start, but I overall enjoyed Moonlight. Matter of fact, I was starting to like it so much, I was anticipating it being canceled (The Black Donnellys or Jericho anyone?). Looks like we might see a season two if the WGA strike ever ends.
Oh, and did you know that Sophia was also a character in Underworld? I loved Underworld, but didn’t realize she was in it! She was also “the girl in the mirror” for you Dr. Who fans. 
Looks like fans of Journeyman are taking a page out of the Jericho book. When CBS canceled Jericho, fans (including me) sent tons of nuts to CBS headquarters. The nutty planned worked, and soon Jericho will be back for a short season two. Now fans are trying a similar approach with NBC over Journeyman.
While it’s not as cool as the whole “Nuts for Jericho / Save Jericho” campaign, the Save Journeyman campaign is asking fans to send in Rice-A-Roni to NBC and NBC Universal executives. Why send in boxes of “The San Fransisco Treat”? Because Journeyman is set in that location. Duh.
We’ve been waiting for this for a long time, and finally the wait is just about over. After a long, hard fight Jericho returns to CBS on February 12th. Remember, we only got an initial seven episodes for season two. If there is enough interest in these seven episodes, we’ll get a full season two. Remember to spread the word about the return of Jericho!
If you need a refresher, if you missed anything that happened in season one, or you never watched the show to begin with you can watch every episode for free online at CBS.com. And for those of you that haven’t seen it yet, there is a trailer for Jericho sitting out on YouTube. Let me say, the trailer rocks! Looks like CBS might actually help the show this time around.
Not to be confused with the Film Actors Guild, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) has gone on strike. If you watch TV, this is bad for you, and you might even see the impact starting tonight. With the writers on strike, there won’t be anyone available to write new scripts; The direct impact of this is the live shows (such as The Late Show, The Late Late Show, etc.) which record every day.
Our favorite shows like Heroes, Chuck, LOST, and the others will be ok for a while. Most of these shows have several scripts written in advance. Though, if a show doesn’t have enough scripts to make it to the end of the season, or even a mid-season, then you can see one of several things happen. 1) The show could just end; 2) The show could see “scab” writers brought in, and if this is the case stories, plots, and even the entire show could suffer.
TV Guide has a nice writeup on some of the major things that this could mean for some of our current favorites. One thing it mentions in another article is Heroes. The Heroes crew has gone back and reshot the Dec. 3rd episode. This episode was meant to tie up the “Generations” story arc, however if the alternate ending is used, it will be able to serve as a season finale.
Sadly, the writers for “Reality TV” type shows aren’t apart of the WGA. This means that if the strike goes on too long, we’ll see a large influx of crap across every channel. Yes, I know you thought it couldn’t get any worse.
Just noticed a cool ad from CBS running on Google Adwords. In case you are running an adblocker, or if the ad isn’t there any more, I took a screen cap for your viewing pleasure. Assuming this is actually CBS sanctioned, it’s nice to see CBS responding to the fans in such a way.
Let’s hope they really beef up the ad machine when it comes to actually promoting Jericho this time around.
