I love clever campaigns like this. I wish that it had worked for Arrested Development!

I liked Jericho a lot. Always watched it from my DVR though. And I held no illusions that these seven episodes were little more than an opportunity to tie up loose ends and conclude the series.

No, if you’ll excuse me, I have to get home to watch last night’s ep.

I mostly watched “Jericho” online last season and supposedly I wasn’t alone because CBS sort of admitted that they overlooked that audience. It’d be interesting to see if those numbers hold-up for the re-outing, though I do think they’ll need more “Red Dawn” type stuff and a little less cake-baking to reach the same group.

BTW: The TVGuide said that “Boston Legal” was going to be new and we briefly discussed watching it and saving the “Jericho” for online, but instead, we opted for the season premiere. Though, I kind of doubt that’ll be my usual experience and most likely, I’ll just continue watcching it online.

There are three shows I watched on TV last season (Lost, Jericho, BSG), all went into bone-headed, corporate-approved mid-season breaks and after the breaks all three suffered in the ratings. One was canceled and brought back to live for a short-lived series wrap while the other two set firm dates for the ends of those series, though with the writer’s strike who knows how that it will impact those end dates. Coincidence?

And Philip … the show is called Prison Break. No one’s letting any cat outta the bag by mentioning that at some point the characters would actually follow through with the series title.

Four out of five of my compatriots agree that if they weren’t going to break out of prison, maybe they should’ve named it Oz.

Considering that Jericho’s first outing back lead it to loose in its timeslot to two repeats is sure to spell doom for the show this time around. Enjoy it while it lasts because it won’t be on the air much longer.

Now, if only the same efforts will save Journeyman on NBC. Sadly, Zucker probably won’t see the boxes of Rice-A-Roni from his lofty perch.

“Nuts” was a fairly specific reference from the season 1 finale - and a now-mythic stance from a decently-sized fan base against some truly bone-headed CBS treatment of the show. I enjoy pointing the finger at Sprague Grayden - just like Joan of Arcadia (kidding).

Please forward this comment to the people responsible for the “What’s On Tonite” column.
The other night there was a blurb on “Prison Break”; a rather exciting and well-done weekly.
Your writer, instead of arousing the interest of faithful viewers like myself, proceded to march directly to the climaxes: (finally escaping and leaving something behind).
This was a good example of poor journalism. Several of my compatriots agreed. There was no reason to watch the development of the chapter. It was a given: Just expect them to escape, and what did they leave behind. Stay with the general flow, next time.
