Well, if we’re using the stats based on how many shows have been cancelled versus how many shows have been put back on the air after they were cancelled, then the realistic answer would have to be, “Probably.”
But, then again, I’m one of the people who participated in the “Save ‘Angel'” campaign after it teetered on the brink of cancellation at the end of Season 4. Now, since I’m the proud owner of that show’s 5th season on DVD, that’s proof enough for me that, yes, sometimes making your opinions known to the network really does make a difference…and, as such, the very least I can do for “Jericho” is to trumpet the details of the various campaigns that are being established to try and save it from permanent destruction.
Merrick, a regular contributor to Ain’t It Cool News, has put together a hell of post for that site where he does the same thing…which means that mine will inevitably pale in comparison, especially since most of what I’m going to post comes straight from his text. But since we’re all working toward the same means, I hope he won’t mind…
* Click here to sign the petition to save “Jericho.”
* Click here to visit Jericho Lives, a site that’s dedicating itself to keeping the show alive.
* Click here to check out the “Nuts” campaign, its name inspired by the defiant cry from the show’s season finale.
I think those are the biggies…though if you’ve never watched the show and want to find out what it’s all about before committing to anything, the Wikipedia entry for the series is decidedly comprehensive.
All I’m saying is, it can’t hurt to try, and it won’t take much of your time, either. So let’s all keep our fingers crossed, shall we?
