Personally, I think Fox takes the early Wednesday night slots with “Bones” & “Justice” which are my preferences. As for the 10P.M. slot it’s a toss-up. I could watch either the new “Kidnapped” or “CSI-NY” neither thrill me nor particularly turn me off— basically I can sleep to either.

Man, Jericho is SOOO SLOOWWW!
I don’t think I will ever tune into this show again.
It’s like ‘Lost.’ After so many twists and turns, you just kinda lose interest. I mean, nothing ever really gets solved on those shows.
It was that way on ‘Jericho.’ I wish someone would have thought about making it a nice mini-series (two or three episodes, tops) and give us a good old-fashioned comedy or a drama that actually accomplishes something every week.

I watched Jericho last night because for some reason I am really intrigued with the idea of life as we know it ending. I didn’t set my expectations very high and Jericho failed to live up to even those low expectations. Why does CBS have to ruin a good idea. The show is too phony, to generic and filled with way to many corny characters. Everyone says exaclty what you would expect them to - there is no real dialogue. The worst moment came at the end of the episode when the town Mayor made a speech to the people in town, that speech combined with the sappy feel good music made me want gag.
Also there was a ridiculous attempt to add suspense and drama when a school bus carrying kids who were somehow stranded after the driver was killed in a freak accident were rescued only to find that the bus was nearly out of gas. That doesn’t even make sense. Why would you take kids on a field trip with an empty tank of gas? Ca you say Dumb!
This show has a great premise, but unfortunately CBS has taken away every semblence of realism from the show. You just know that at the end of every episode everything will work out.

gotta disagree here. After so many ridiculous reality shows, I think it is great to finally see the networks getting back to dramas and comedies. Jericho is a good try, and I am going to give it a few shows to find it’s rythym.
Now Smith, on the other hand. Who in their right mind would watch a show that glorifies people who kill for fun? That show is SICK!!!
