Man, CBS owes Jericho fans a huge thank-you. Not only are they responsible for bringing the show back from cancellation — making sure the network has another series to show this winter during the ongoing writers' strike — but they also gave the network the perfect tool for marketing the show's return: nuts! Ever since fans inundated CBS headquarters with literally tons of peanuts this spring in an effort to bring the show back, CBS has adopted the nut theme as its own. The network gave out gift bags of nuts during the Jericho panel at this summer's TV press tour, and here's the latest: a tour through the show's first season as hosted by a talking, animated peanut.
Cheesiness aside, this really is a good way to recap the show's first season for those of us who missed out the first time. Jericho returns Feb. 12 with seven new episodes; depending on the ratings, it may get more. In the meantime, to watch Jericho in a — yuk yuk — nutshell, just read more

It's definitely a show worth checking out. I initially started watching it because my guy was actually interested in it and he usually could care less about a tv show. It's quite good and Skeet Ulrich is not too shabby to look at weekly. It's an interesting concept and has kept me interested. I was fairly disappointed when I heard it was canceled, so I am glad it is coming back and I hope peeps who missed the boat the first time around will get to catch up.
