Jericho Fans Have New Network to Mail Peanuts To

Jericho is back! Not back back, but still, in a way, back!

The CW has canceled its Sunday night schedule, outsourced to Media Rights Capital to produce, which means the end of Valentine and Easy Money, the latter of which I will apparently be the only person in America to miss. And it's replacing the shows with... reruns. Including reruns of cancelled CBS cult favorite Jericho

Which means, if nothing else, some free publicity and media. Because sure as nuclear night follows the thousand-suns day of an atomic explosion, the fans of the postapocalyptic drama will go all kinds of keeer-azy trying to get The CW to bring the show back to life in originals.

And who knows? It worked once. Skeet Ulrich doesn't appear to be that busy. My advice: buy stock in Planter's.

    hey James,
    you're not the only person in America that will miss Easy Money!
    i was really liking that show. Do you know why they were airing repeats these last few weeks? I believe there were 4 or 5 new episodes that had been shot. Any chance they'll pop up somewhere else?
    thanks!

    @James -- no comments/discussion of Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" being released on Sunday? I was kind of hoping for a retrospective of the grandeur and awesomeness of GnR music videos, or at least a posting regarding the lost "art" of music videos in the YouTube world (especially in light of the death of TRL recently). Isn't Axl Rose EXACTLY the person with the type of ridiculous vision to reawaken the music video in the public consciousness? Can't you already see digital dolphins, motorcycles, supermodels, giant tanker-boats, smashed wedding cakes, etc. being prepared for use in new GnR videos?
    .
    Am I the only one that is PRAYING for a completely anachronistic, overblown, absurdly huge, spectacle-esque GnR music video? Remember -- when Use Your Illusion I and II came out (with November Rain), the economy was in tough straits then in Bush I's one and only term (1991)....could Axl be the sign of economic renaissance (by analogy, the Clinton economic boom years)?
    .
    Yep, I'm obsessed...I cannot WAIT to have this on my iPod blasting on continuous repeat.
