Like the commenter, I also strongly encourage that we print out a hard copy and send it through the snail mail.
We are continuing the fight to get 'Jericho' renewed for the second season. We strongly believe that CBS made one of the worst mistakes to nuke 'Jericho' off the air. We are not alone; there are millions of fans out there that are now upset at the news of the cancellation. There's even an online petition that is nearing 50,000 signatures at the moment. That's just in 2 days. That is quite an achievement, no doubt about that. Though the only way to make this all worth it is to save 'Jericho' from oblivion. I have never done this before for any TV series in my life. It's not just because it happen to have a deaf character, it's actually a great show. That's the great part about having an ensemble cast. There's so much you can do with these characters.
'Jericho' is worth fighting for. Everybody, please help us out with our mission to rescue 'Jericho'. I have added a large amount of contact information for people involved with the TV program for all of you to write a letter to by e-mail or snail mail. You can also use Video Relay Service (VRS) to make a call. The phone numbers are listed below.
Even better, send a bag of nuts to CBS!

To (Insert recipient’s name here)
I wish to express my disappointment with the cancellation of 'Jericho'. This TV program is beloved and cherished by many TV viewers including the deaf and hard of hearing. 'Jericho' had a large range of strong characters with depth instead of one-dimensional characters including a well fleshed out deaf character, which is rare to be seen on the TV and at the movies.
The show is also unique because of the post-apocalyptic theme surrounding the humanizing stories featured on the program. It would be a great loss to see the TV series fade into oblivion because it wasn't given the chance to prove itself. Today, most TV programs aren't given the chance. They often get canceled within a few episodes. Some were lucky to stick around like 'Seinfeld' which wasn't popular till the third or fourth season.
I know many will be happy to see 'Jericho' stay on the air instead of getting nuked off the air after a great season, which also ended with an exciting cliffhanger. Please give 'Jericho' a chance to prove itself by keeping it on the air.
I hope that my voice has been heard and that it will be taken in consideration. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
Sincerely,
(Your name here)
Good luck to everyone. We all need it.

Banjo, we love your support for Jericho, keep up the good work.

Thanks for joining our campaign, Banjo! This is the kind of word-of-mouth marketing we need!
5/19/2007 12:13 PM
Yep, Jericho was just GETTING GOOD.
They can't cancel that show...
It's the best show on CBS bar none.
Actually, it's the only serial drama on CBS.
The rest of CBS is CSI and it's spin offs...
Fired off a letter!
Save Jericho!!!!

Signed the petition form and the CBS feedback form. Thanks!

I think it is just okay. I dislike some of the shows. Actually, it is bad image for us to see negative situation. I would say that would help us to prepare something happen in the reality.
I wanted to tell you that I really hate Lost show. This is the worst one, and it is NOT healthy for you to see it because it is just like a bad dream in your mind. At first, I like it, and then I watched more shows. I finally realized that it is not really healthy for us to watch it. Believe me. Okay?
For Jerico, again, it is somewhat just okay, but it is still bad image for us. It is more fun to watch Seinfield than watching any stupid violence shows. We need to grow up... oh yes...

I used to be a big television watcher, and my parents are still TV junkies. What happened? College, of course, and show cancellations. "Quantum Leap", "Full House", "Star Trek: Enterprise", and several other shows that I watched ended their runs in cancellations. I even recall there being a show about aliens influencing history that got bitten in the growth and expansion phase, and there was a show about extraterrestial immigrants that got nuked as well (remember "Alien Nation"?) It seems to me that Big Media doesn't like controversy in its drama - but controversy and thought provocation are among the things that make a show INTERESTING. (Obviously, not the only things; otherwise, there wouldn't be so much nonsense over "American Idol".) I propose the creation of a society for continuing the universes of canceled television dramas via any means practical or feasible, from "Howdy Doody" to "Jericho".
