Jericho's Cancellation My Rant

So I love that CBS gave this show another chance. I was surprised that they brought it back. I didn't think as a fan we would get much more than the 7 or 8 episodes that they promised, but never the less I was very disappointed. This show is great, the characters and writing are amazing. The ratings for this season were poor, not because no one wanted to watch it, but because they moved the show from 8pm on Wednesdays to 10 pm on Tuesdays. There is a huge difference between the people watching TV at 8 and those watching at 10. Jericho is one of CBS most watched shows online, and it continues to be a big seller on itunes, so clearly people like the show.

It seems like networks are investing so much into completely mindless reality shows (ie., My dad is Better than your dad) and tossing out smart and intriguing shows. Jericho isn't the only show that they have tossed out like this, it is just the latest in a long line for great shows. I have to hope that Jericho is picked up by another network and will continue on somewhere, but the chances of that happening are slim.

I for one am sick and tired of networks canceling great shows. It is really irritating that they take shows that are preforming well and move them to a different time or they put them on a 2 or 3 month hiatus and are shocked that people have found something else to watch. That is inevitable, specifically with a new show.

Ok I think I have gotten it out of my system!
