Peanuts? What are peanuts? Either this is some internet thing, like “cookies”, that I don’t understand, or it’s actual peanuts. What was done with these peanuts? Where did they go? Who received the peanuts, and what good did they do? I’m as excited for the answer to this as I am for the possibility of a third season of Jericho!

Thanks for the review on Jericho, but I have to disagree with you on a few things. I love Jericho and fell it love with it after watching only one episode. I didn’t start watching until well into the second season, but after watching that one episode, I quickly devoured all of season one. I think the characters are anything but one dimensional. Every character has a bit of a backstory that is only hinted at through the first season. I think if (when) Jericho comes back, we have a lot to learn about each character. Yes, the premise of the show is awesome, but so is the writing, directing and acting. Definitely the best show to come along on a very long time.

Thanks for this review. I can’t agree that the characters of “Jericho” are one-dimensional. I like the fact that these people are realistically imperfect, and that we don’t know everything about them.

The first fan campaign to save “Jericho” was much more than an online petition: there were countless letters, phone calls, and peanuts, as well as print ads and more. The current campaign–in support of producers’ efforts to find a new home for the show–includes letters, print ads, a billboard, and a TV commercial. Fans are also collecting funds to send Season 2 DVDs to U.S. troops overseas and to send peanut butter to food banks in Kansas.

Thanks again!
