Man I wish I had cable. :-/

lost

[Archangel]

I'm still hooked

I'm still hooked

Me, too. I'm glad that they moved it to Tuesday nights. Now I get a chance to watch it.

I know that it's only a TV show, but it sure does get one's mind thinking.

[rubestr3]

Yep, I love the show too!

[ArmySGT.]

I finally watched Jericho. The Sci Fi channel played the entire first season back to back and I watched it all. I won't bother to watch it again. The characters are to stupid to live. Plot lines revolve around love interests; "Jericho! The soap opera at the End of the World!".

One minor food scuffle (I won't dignify it with riot), and everyone is nicey nice with each other again. Apparently there are no diabetics or others reliant on med to live day to day. Water pumps itself, not to mention toilet paper has a never before seen ability to renew itself; meaning sewage is not a desperate situation. Thank goodness the garbage truck survived the EMP and the collector works for free, that hasn't been a problem.

I take it back there is one character, though minor with a brain. I nominate for the position of Mayor of Jericho the boy that inherits the grocery store. He atleast had the good sense to shoot dead the killer and thief that threatened him.

Sorry to break it to you all, but I just read that Jericho has been cancelled... I guess not enough people watching it.

[tufhelp]

ArmySGT, I couldn't agree with you more... TOTALLY unrealistic. Doesn't even rate soap opera status to me. Nothing about the story line or the situation was even remotely as chaotic as it would be in that scenario. People would be at their worst, not their best. A town of 5,000+ people and they all tow the group party line? Not bloody likely. And the lead prodigal son has not one single time demonstrated ANY of the traits that they asses to him: Military training, Ranger, all around bad-ass, hired gun - just a mouth breather who won't/cant react to any situation. Other than that I thought it was a wonderful show... *:-/

Remeber guys this show was written for the sheeple. Folks like us who take preparedness seriously see the holes and such where the sheeple don't.

It was renewed. The show has a largish fan base. I guess it is drama for those sick of cop shows.

Was anyone else yelling at the TV during the episode where the truck rolls over and pins Jakes leg. Oh the bad guys took the shovels and the car jack! So I am wondering why they can't use the side mirrors or the air cleaner cover to dig his leg out with?

Anyway to much drama with the love interest story lines, when there can be all the drama they need with apocalyptic chaos.

[ArmySGT.]

I stand corrected. Jericho was canceled for a second time.

[mtnest]

The show was obviously not written as we perceive the situation would really be like but I am glad that someone is trying to get more folks thinking beyond their next coffee fix.

[SCRich]

I stand corrected. Jericho was canceled for a second time.

Yes such a shame. A lot of drama and holes to poke but it's better than wall to wall "reality" TV that is scripted and game shows.

[wy0mn]

lol
I had to google it, to see what ya'll were talking about!
Haven't had TV since around... '01, I think.
I used to watch old series Star Trek at the laundromat in Laramie last year, before we bought this place with washer & dryer.
Last week I was snowed in in Laramie, rented a motel room for the night. 23 channels of nothing! Even worse, one channel was a loop of old "Charmed" episodes.
That helped me make up my mind about a TV on the ranch I'm fixin' up, NO DARNED WAY!

Makes me appreciate Paul Hogans line in Crocodile Dundee, he told Sue that he saw TV once before, turned on the motel TV, saw "I Love Lucy" and said "Yep, thats what I saw!"

[SCRich]

Every few years some producer needs to come out with a made for TV movie about some nuke going off and chaning the face of time. This time they came out with an actual series. It was interesting, sometimes stupid but much better than most of the other shows.

I go hot and cold with the TV, sometimes no TV for months other than the news and sometimes I have it on in the background flipping through 150 channels of nothing. Yes there are several cable/satelite channels that are named one thing but have nothing except a single series to play over and over again, the same season all the time for months. There is just so much out there to put on TV, even people run out of junk to produce so I guess channels have nothing but reruns to play so they can make money off of commercials.

Like I said all I care about is various news sources and various forcasts so I can pick and chose the facts since most of them are wrong. If it were not for the wife needing to watch NASCAR races during the season and my kid going on strike with no Sunday morning cartoons I would not have one. I can get the news and weather off the radio and internet if need be.

[sabrefan]

It seems like the shows I like are always being canceled... I'm still suffering over "Firefly".

[wy0mn]

Book, books, books...
Why can't someone make a movie of "Alas, Babylon"?
Now THAT, I would pay to see... assuming it didn't have Tom Cruise, Casper van Dien, or Kevin Costner anywhere near them. One is a terrible actor & the other two are simply snots!

[side_job]

I agree with the comments about the love interests, and the holes in logic, but I would like to point out 1 point that struck me as being 'coincidental'. I found the similarities in Jennings and Raul's ties to the government as seen on the series, and Kellogg Brown and Root's ties to our current administration. For anyone that is not familiar, there is tons of info on KBR available... special interest in detention camps...

I did enjoy the series, but they should have kept Gerald McRainey for the second season.
