This is a little delayed, but Jericho, a CBS show that was pretty awesome is now canceled. It's really disappointing becuase the first season was amazing and this second season only had 7 episodes but still managed to tell a great story. What really sucks is the series finale, it was an enjoyable episode but the show wasn't ready to end so they had to squeeze a lot into one episode to finish the story.
They did leave some sub plots open (there has been some talk about this show being picked up on cable). I really hope it comes back becuase the third season would be pretty interesting. In the first season there are several nuclear explosions in many major cities in the US. Throughout the first season the basic plot is Jericho, a small town in Kansas, trying to survive in a hellish situation. THe 1st season concludes with a battle between Jericho and a neighbor town who is tyring to steal goods from Jericho. The second season opens with the new Cheyenne government trying to get the country back on its feet. The army for this new government come to Jericho and break up the battle between Jericho and the other town and quickly power is restored and goods are brought in.
This governemnt seems to be great, until a conspiracy unfolds and you realize they were basically behind the attacks. Now theirs the Cheyenne government, the original US government , and Texas making up its own government. Theres going to be a civil war, and which ever side Texas falls on will win the war, and they're leaning on Cheyenne's side. Theres more to it and I'm leaving a lot out and generalizing the plot but that is just so I can explain what the third season would be like if it were to be brought back.
Basically the series finale finds its two main characters driving to cheyenne breaking into the texas embassy to share the evidence(which is a left over nuclear bomb) they have that will incriminate the new government. They then get it to Texas and it ends with the notion that Texas will back the original US government and the second American Civil War will begin.
Personally i hope a cable station renews this series because that set up seems really interesting and I would love to see what happens to the characters I've grown to care alot about.

Never really got into that show. I wonder why it had such a strong cult following, but other people just didn't seem to care a bit about it. It is a really strange phenomenon. I can't really see how this could happen. Did they see something that we cannot? Maybe this is true, or maybe it just had a bad time slot or bad advertising. We will probably never know, but it is always sad when a show with some potential gets the boot for a second time. At leas they got to have a final episode and didn't just get axed.
