The CBS/Jericho Nuts Campaign is Really Taking Off!
Wow, what a difference a week makes! I wrote last week of my displeasure with CBS canceling my favorite show, Jericho. A petition was started and fan messageboards were buzzing. But then I got busy with work and my attention drifted away from Jericho and onto other things.
A colleague at work then informed that things have really taken off. First, many of the show’s actors and actresses have joined the discussion on the discussion boards. Skeet Ulrich wrote:
A week ago our show was canceled and it feels like time has stood still ever since. We loved bringing you this story. […] Your support is incredible and means more to all of us than you will ever know!
And from Lennie “The Hawk” James, who played my favorite character, Hawkins:
I write to you from my home in London utterly staggered by the events of the last week or so. I, along with all the cast and crew from the show, was totally gutted (UK slang for ‘very upset’) when news came down that our show was canceled.
Many others have chimed in as well. I have never seen anything like this before. The cast (and I bet even some crew members!) have stepped up and have become involved. Imagine if CBS continued the show now? Fans have had an opportunity to interact with their favorite characters. This can only create an even stronger base audience.
But perhaps the biggest and loudest development over the past week is the Nuts campaign!
As I write this, CBS has had the pleasure of getting MORE THAN 18,000 lbs of NUTS from JERICHO fans. Let me say that again: More than 18,000 POUNDS!
Check out http://www.nutsonline.com/jericho. In true capitalist spirit, this company stepped up and made ordering Jericho nuts super easy. All you have to do is go to their website, specify the amount you want to spend. And off they go.

You might not be a fan of Jericho, but why not help Jericho fans make this statement by sending CBS your very own bag of NUTS!
