    This is an outstanding series. Catch up at jerichorises.com or better yet, get the DVD at amazon.com or locally. New episodes on CBS soon, watch your local listings.

    This is a outstanding series. I haven't looked forward to a series since Dallas and Knots Landing went off the air. The critics need to give this show a chance. We had a team event every Wednesday night but used our Tivo to record Jericho so we would never miss an episode. CBS needs to take the use of tivos in consideration when doing the ratings.

    One of the better shows of last season. It was a slow start, but by the forth episode it picked up a lot. I am very glad to see it return for a second season.

    Jericho is one of the best new shows to come along. It has action, adventure, mystery, and a little romance. Go Jericho.

    Absolutely love this show, was heartbroken when i heard it was cancelled and exstatic when we the fans helped CBS change thier minds. Everyone I know loves this show as well, it's refreshing to watch a show like this, that's never been done before and see things that unfortunately in todays day and age aren't that far fetched to possibly happen here someday.

It's refreshing to see someone touch on something new because I too care less to see anymore law and order drama's and Crime Scene investigatons, one more reality show or new spin off of some stupid game show.. I sincerely hope CBS brings it back for a third season and many more after that, at the same time I swear could u possibly sabatage the show anymore than they already have this brief second season, I mean the time slot, the airing of last weeks episode at 1:35 a.m. without offering to re-air it for those who can't DVR it etc. We are dedicated in our plite to keep Jericho on the air, all your trickery will not prevail. Someone somewhere needs to seriously revise the way these ratings are working these days with all the alternative ways to view our shows, it's impossible for anyone to know what we the viewers like and want to see on tv, how bout you put the decision back in the hands of the viewers.… Expand

    I hope that people don't read the comments of some ignorant television critics who would like reality shows to take over and allow those comments to distract people from the reality that in our time, this is a really great show.

    Just finished watching this series and this is easily the best show CBS has had in the past couple years. Can't believe they would cancel it. Probably to add 2 more crappy sitcoms.

    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....

    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.

    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.

    A show that is getting better as the season progresses. Earlier in the season I would have given this a four for not really following through on the concept and having too much heartwarming bull filling up the airtime. Now that that has diminished due to less network interference, it has gotten much, much better.

    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...

    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.
