SciFi and Paramount - Where the action is now

Hello Jericho Fans

A new campaign to save Jericho is afoot. According to Carol Barbee, Executive Producer for Jericho the move to get Jericho a new home on SciFi is still very much an option. Carol explained that we need to keep the pressure on CBS Paramount and that they are 100 percent behind Jericho.This is where we need to concentrate our efforts according to Carol.

Why is Carol still fighting? She said this show deserves more time, it's been given it's day to a great degree, but there is so much more to tell in this story.She said the fans care, they ( the writers) care, and she feels like Junction did their job in these last seven episodes and hopefully will now be able to take the story to another venue and keep telling the story.

Over at JerichoNet2.com there are some very important threads that will help you on your journey into this awesome trip of saving Jericho again! At this thread SciFi Network Stats and Information - you will find all the information about who to write, some great letters to use a starting point and addresses.
Also, at JNet * JerichoNet2.com for short* is a thread where you will find all the templates for labels and stationary you will need.

JNet has made finding what we need extremely easy, its also a place where so many fresh ideas are flowing, its simply amazing to read through all the threads.

I know you will enjoy being over there as much as I do, so come on over and check it out. And please help us in the campaign .... JERICHO NEEDS YOU!

And to end this post, I would like to include a open letter to SciFi from a fan~

Hello,

It is with the utmost humbleness that I write this letter to your network with a request. As you have posted previously on your website, a show with a ‘cult-like’ fanbase behind it has been cancelled. It’s a show that a lot of people have a lot of faith in, despite their differences and even cultural and racial lines. The show is Jericho.

I know the show has two strikes against it, being cancelled twice, but it’s a show that is a great fit for your network. Not only do its plotlines go beyond conventional television, but its fans do too. Many of us fans were not counted amongst the traditional Nielsen network ratings, but as a whole, while the ratings were not on par for traditional network television, they would have been very good for a cable network, particularly one that thinks beyond tradition.

Sci-Fi Channel has always been a station that goes beyond conventional thinking and conventional television. Your versions of Battlestar Galactica and the Stargate series have been nothing short of visionary. The pure fact that you already possess the rights to air the already run episodes on your channel just enhances that image. I ask that you consider continuing that vision by stepping forth and acquiring the rights to continue airing this show as a first run series on your network. It’s just a natural fit; a revolutionary series for a revolutionary network, backed by a group of revolutionary fans.

As a group of fans, we are asking for another chance for our show to live, and in particular, on your network. I ask that you not pass up this chance to give this show one last life, one that it couldn’t find in its present home, but could find with you. Jericho was always too intense for regular network TV, and as a avid fan, I feel that it would have a great home on your network. Look at the numbers, look at the passion of the fans that continue to support it and yet are never counted. The online support of the show is immense, and this is a show that has never truly been given a fair chance. It is our hope that your network will be the one to give it that chance.

You have a guaranteed viewer in me, and I am sure that others will attest to the same thing. All that we ask as a fandom, and all that I ask as an individual is that you give this show a fair chance, and allow Jericho to have a true chance to shine in an environment that is more receptive to it. Jericho needs to be in an environment that thinks beyond the traditional box, and the Sci Fi Channel, is a channel that truly does think beyond the traditional TV box. Please pick up Jericho, and give this show a chance to become part of a true visionaries dream.

UK SciFi Now Magazine ~ Check these out!

Look at these awesome scans from UK's SciFi Now Magazine:
Skeet says " it's been an incredible experience, from the lows of cancellation to the fans rising up for us. And I think now the best way we could thank them is to continue to make the best show we can make and to push this story forward".

You know what Skeet? You all have managed to do that and then some, you are rocking our world. Personally, I am very impressed with the way your character and also Kenneth's has grown, you are really our families now.

JerichoTimes ~A Visit Long Over Due

I realize that my posts have been few and far between lately, between my computer problems ( have borrowed a lap top from my Dad for now) and my other RL issues, it has been hard to get here and post. I also have to admit that the last two weeks have been hard to post on because honestly, so many folks feel we might be losing. I have tried so hard to get folks to see how good Jericho is doing overall.

I saw the promo's for tonights episode and it looks SO great! Yes yes, I say that every time, but it is true. You will be getting a world class show tonight I promise. How can I say that from a 30 second spot? Because I know our writers and cast, that is why.

I went over to Jericho Times because of a post at CBS made by Nightbird47, one of our hard working and awesome Jericho Rangers. The impassioned letter she writes to us moved me, and made me see that I am far from being alone in my feelings. It's a letter that needs to be read by each Ranger whether long time or new. I fully support Nightbird's word and thoughts and join her in the following:
http://jerichoboard.cbs.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=cbsmbjericho&tid=21137

I personally pledge that I will not give up or fade away, and will keep strong. Whatever direction or journey we take to find the way I will be there.

Will your join me?

In Nightbirds post she highlights a post at JerichoTimes which itself is a great post, one made by a dedicated Ranger who has been in the fight from the beginning:
JerichoTimes -

Hello everyone,

When I first starting typing this I have a nicely typed out 1,000 word speech about our efforts and how we are doing and what seems like a failure or immanent defeat. Then I tried very hard to word a fancy speech to get everyone motivated.

But Mikesmom read over the speech and said something.

"You just told me 9 months of my life was wasted. We have fought side by side, some for as long as 9 months, with new people joining in right up till today, to have our voices heard, to make a difference. We have made that difference! Each Tuesday night we reap the rewards of our efforts – we see that difference! But this fight is not over.

Push aside in your mind the rumors, the ratings and remember the fight you had in you in May. The pride you felt in July when you watched the reruns, the motivation you felt when you heard the date February 12th. Give our show the final push it needs. Participate. Motivate others. Think Positive. Digg, Discuss and Contact the Advertisers.”

I type here not just a fan but someone that cares about the survival of that show. I don't let the negative press get me. I don't know why it doesn't. Knowing that every day 3 to 10 people join the newsletter. Knowing I get emails from people around the world thanking me for the newsletter. No. Its because I believe in something so much that I know it's going to change history. Jericho is more then just a show. Jericho is paving a new road of entertainment and the way viewers are counted and heard.

So I have simplified my message to everyone. To all of my 948 subscribers, I ask…..

Will you help save our favorite show?

The post has links for all the sponsors of each episode, and this was a very successful part of our original campaign to save Jericho, I ask each of my readers to please go to Jericho Times and help out with the effort to contact the sponsors.

For Skeet, For Jericho, For the Fans -- We Are J-Net

I have to apologize to the fans at Jnet for my not having posted this before, my only excuse is that stuff has been chaotic for me of late, when it rains it pours! I hope everyone is having fun doing this Sweepstakes, I only wish I had been able to get in on it as well. I can't wait to see who wins!!!


Bottom line -

Our show is without a doubt one of the best stories to hit the airwaves in decades, with an outstanding cast, stellar Creative Team and a world class group of fans, that I am so fortunate to call my friends. We will have our season three, it is written in the stars.

Until tonight, be well my friends and do not give up!

See u all after the show tonight and please remember to watch Big Brother!
