    Jericho should be viewed as a WAKE UP CALL. The behavior of the townspeople is what would be expected in a real life situation. Surviorlists have the right idea. God help the rest of us!!

    Jericho is the first show since "24" that has kept me coming back for more. I wasn't aware of the show until several weeks into the season. Fortunately, CBS has posted all previous FULL episodes online so I was able to go back and watch from the beginning.

    Forget about the scientific goofs. There's enough bad in the basic writing to make this turkey deserve a 3. My problem is basically that this show's hook is the aftermath of a nuclear attack on a small town. Yet it seems 80% of each episode is some guy thinking about leaving his wife. A hostage drama, a bus full of kids that need to be saved, a girl dreaming about her wedding. Forget about the scientific goofs.

    This is a great show that reminds me of the scifi stuff from the 80's. It's also very interesting given our current political situation and nuclear threats. Kinda makes you go hmmm....

    I long for shows which have the content and potetnial of this one. Shame then when I find it boring and annoying already. A few episodes in and I catch myself yelling at the telly for making it formulaic and treating me with contenpt to keep the viewer watching through the next advert by teasing me with that next little piece of info..........

    It started off slow, but it is a gripping story and so far it has had me glued to the screen for every episode.

    The critics need to keep watching shows... How do you review a SERIES based on one hour????? The show is rapidly growing some interesting sub-plots that were never there in the pilot...

    The show has some serious issues with regard to radiation facts. The main character, who I love, is just a little too everywhere. Saving lives, putting out fires, blowing up mines! Also the slow motion of finding out who Hawkins is can drive you insane enough to abandon the movie. If the episodes weren't on the web I'd probably miss most of them.

    This thing got a lot of shotty reviews from the "real critics" before it even came out. I don't think it's a Seinfeld or West Wing or anything...but I do think it has a relatively good story line and isn't totally out there. I guess you could say that I find myself looking forward to the next episode.

    The mushroom clouds got me to watch the first episode. The impending fallout kept me watching the second episode. But a burning library and really corny dialogue bored me half-way through the latest episode. I hope this show picks up, or I am going to fins something better to do with my Wednesday nights.

    For some reason I catch myself watching... kind of like watching a train wreck, you want to look away but for some reason you can't.

    Hey Fred F, you might be suprised to find out that there are in fact extensive salt mines in Kansas. Especially around the Hutchinson area - that's where Morton Salt is/was headquartered (although they're supposedly in Western Kansas, but alas, it's close). Some mines are used for storage due to the temperate conditions, some very old original film reels are stored in Hey Fred F, you might be suprised to find out that there are in fact extensive salt mines in Kansas.

    I am hooked on this show. The premise is awesome and I why do people keep picking on the main character? He's a great actor and hot to boot!

    The writers must not do much research for this show or else think the average viewer has an IQ of 90. Mountains in Kansas--uh huh. Radiation rain and people going about their business right after it stops. Yep. No one grieving--but party it up at the bar-b-q! Please cancel this soon!

    I believe this show is a good wake-up call to what could happen in our own reality today. I believe the people the down the show still live in a fantasy world and if that's how they feel, they need to just stick to watching America's Next Top Model, or Survivor.

    A catastrophic nuclear crisis never looked as boring and convoluted as it does here.

    "Jericho" doesn't pretend to be artistically risky, but it's got a scary and gripping theme in an age of terrorism and nuclear thuggery.

    Jericho works when it sticks to the eerie surreality of a nuclear attack... The show, unfortunately, flops about in its first two episodes, leaning too heavily on the action-adventure stuff.
