…if your world was revolving around “Jericho” coming back for a second season.
Yep. CBS officially dropped the cancellation bomb.
I’m not saying I didn’t see it coming. I’m just saying that I’m not happy about it, and I hope that the networks learn that this whole splitting-a-season-into-halves concept isn’t worth the resulting loss of ratings. Even CBS’s chief scheduling executive, Kelly Kahl, admitted, “We lost a lot of steam,” adding that “I know we had loyal viewers…but the show sort of lost its engine and wasn’t performing.” That’s because fans will always come back to a show they love, but the on-the-fence crowd has an attention span that’s barely an hour long; mild interest doesn’t turn into legitimate fascination when a show vanishes for two months.
No mention of a TV movie to wrap up the loose ends, either. Damn. That really, really sucks. If anyone knows people affiliated with the show – and it’s worth asking, since you never know who reads these things – have them drop me a line at WHarris (at) Bullz-Eye.com; I’d really like to know what Season 2 would’ve looked like…and I know there are at least a few others out there who share my curiosity.
