The show that wouldn’t die, “Jericho”, may yet have some life. IMDB is reporting:

Jericho, the CBS television series that was canceled because of low ratings, then revived following protests from fans, then canceled again because of low ratings, may be revived a second time, the New York Times reported today (Monday). The newspaper said that CBS may follow NBC’s recent example with Friday Night Lights in which it sold the DirecTV satellite service the right to air the series before it goes on network TV. The Times said that CBS is considering a similar option in negotiations with cable provider Comcast. Meanwhile, although DirecTV executives have expressed confidence that the Friday Night Lights deal could drive new subscribers to their service, some analysts are expressing skepticism about its ability to do so and forecasting that the DirecTV episodes will wind up being pirated on the Internet.

Wow, I didn’t see this coming. I understand that this is a good show with a lot of potential, but I don’t think it’ll get the ratings that they are looking for.

Jericho’s numbers highly skew towards online viewing, and I imagine DVRs. I don’t believe putting it exclusive on Comcast is going to help.

It would be a shame to get hope (picked up by Comcast) and then by under performing, the show gets cut early. Maybe it’s time to say goodbye to a “Jericho” television show.
