Jericho ongoing thread


Who else is excited for the premiere of Jericho? It's probably my most-wanted fall pilot. I think it looks intriguing, like the same kind of suspenseful show as Lost, which is exactly the kind of show I like. (Plus, I'm not ashamed, I've always had a little bit of a thing for Skeet Ulrich....)

The commercials certainly have me intrigued. I'll be checking it out when it premiers.

Re: Jericho: Premieres Sept. 20th


Looks to me like the creators saw Testament and decided to make a series out of it. I'll give it a shot though. I love apocalyptic/disaster related films, so why not a TV show?

Re: Jericho: Premieres Sept. 20th


I've been watching some preview clips over at the CBS site and they are defininitely making me really curious about it. I wonder what the explosion will come from? Also I think there's a lot of ways they could go with the figuring out how the town will function socially in the aftermath/how isolated will the town be, etc. It kind of reminds me of this book "Alas, Babylon" from years ago, which I will have to reread because I've completely forgotten what happens at the end.

PS - Todd, I love your icon, btw!

Re: Jericho: Premieres Sept. 20th


Here's a bump for tonight's premiere of Jericho, one of CBS's non-procedural foray into multi-episodic storytelling.

Re: Jericho: Premieres Sept. 20th


I've been seeing ads for this for weeks now and must say that it looks both intriguing and a bit on the bizarre side. I'll check it out if for any other reason than to satisfy my curiosity.

Re: Jericho: Premieres Sept. 20th


Yes, that's right! Tonight! Yay! It feels like I've been waiting to see this forever. (I was good and resisted the temptation to watch a screener or watch the early view stream on the YahooTV site. I think it will be better watching it on a real TV, not my computer.)

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this does tonight!

Re: Jericho: Premieres Sept. 20th


I think "a non-procedural foray into multi-episodic storytelling" would make a great slogan.
