Thanks go to Redsox for the following:
.
Fellow Rangers today is the Big Day. Jericho Returns to Network Television to the CW for what we all hope is a 29 week run of Season 1 and 2 straight through the end of May 2009.
.
As I said in my original post in Operation Phoenix following the Ranger Meeting at UHD on November 20th, this is all about the numbers, Nielsen and Feedback letters and comments via the feedback forms.
.
Back on November 8th we started out to get Jericho back into the forefront as we were gearing up to launch the TV AD on UHD which begins tomorrow on UHD Network for a 4 week run. Thanks to Norsu we found out that CBS had put Season 1 out on Youtube. We decided to include that as part of our marketing strategy to get people watching Jericho again in as many forums as possible including UHD and Youtube. We began our campaign of post to community, college, scifi Boards, social networks like Face Book and Myspace to try and get the word out that Jericho was not dead but was still a very viable show.
.
I had set some goals with regard to numbers, with getting 50,000 people to view Jericho on Youtube by December 14 and hitting 10,000 posts on the UHD Board by November 30. Both of these goals have been reached. Both are significant numbers as we are starting to see the grass roots movement pick up speed. Like a wave that starts out slowly and continues to build until it finally crests we want to see the numbers continue to climb each week during the 29 week run on the CW, on UHD and the UHD Board and on Youtube.
.
This is different than any Campaign we have undertaken before, Our Goals are simple, we need to get people to sit down and watch Jericho on the CW, right now we are focusing on getting the word out that the show is starting with the Pilot on November 30, 2008 on the CW at 7:00pm EST.
.
Once the show starts we need to send CBS and CW Feedback via the Feed back forms.
.
CW Feedback Form http://cwtv.com/feedback/comments
.
CBS Feedback Form http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/fb_global_form.php
.
We are also sending our letters and cards to Nancy Tellem (CBS Paramount) and Bonnie Hammer (NBC Universal) each Monday and to Dawn Ostroff (CW) and D'Arcy Rudnay at Comcast each Thursday. The purpose is 2 fold, one make a business argument to continue the show and the second is to get our collective voices recorded and counted.
.
We are dealing with finance and numbers people (bean counters) plain and simple.
.
I know that Dark Crystal and Rat Keeper have some ideas about doing better feedback letters so check out JNET and JKI. Important information to give is your age, gender, household size, profession what are your television viewing habits and your desire that CBS put Jericho back on the air with a movie and new episodes.
.
It has a been a long road and many have come and gone since March 2008, but with CBS putting the show on the CW we have a real chance to speak directly to the Executives and Bean counters at CBS Paramount, NBC Universal, Comcast and other Networks that Jericho is a viable, money making commodity worth continuing.
.
Make no mistake about it all of our efforts have made a difference, the Bill Board and TV Ads have caught the Executives attention, or realistically Jericho would not be on UHD nor would the CW be putting back on the air. But it is the simple things that will win the day and take only a few minutes time.
.
Each Sunday complete the Feedback Form for CBS and The CW. Each Monday and Thursday send out your post cards or letters. Watch Jericho each week on the CW and UHD if you can and spread the word and help continue the Jericho wave to grow in strength until it crashes over the Seawall into the CBS Paramount Offices and results in their decision to continue the Jericho story.
.
Every body who has been a part of this community, no matter if they joined the UHD Board last week or have been here since 2006 has contributed. Although it was Dark and all seemed Lost there were a core of people who kept the torch going over the summer and into the Fall.
.
I for one am glad that I stuck around to see what is Happening. Jericho is on 2 Networks, THE CW and UHD (NBC Universal), our TV AD is playing on UHD for 4 weeks, New people are Discovering the show and old ones are reconnecting. Jericho Lives into the Spring of 2009.
.
How many reading this post would have said that 3 weeks ago? It sounds good to me. See you all at the Ranger Rally tonight at the CW Board at 7:00pm.

A treasure trove collection of Jericho links from the early days of the save Jericho campaign has gone dark. Jericholinks.com had become something of a museum piece with many of its own links leading to dead internet ends but the text based page is a perfect candidate for viewing via the internet archive and its way back machine.
For those of you who are interested you can also view the Jericho Message Board at various moments in its evolution on the way back machine. To my surpise some threads actually opened up to one page. Avatars appear briefly as well. Check it out HERE.

It is a tenuous relationship when flattery gains you more ground than constructive criticism.

Occupied by strangers, rangers and danger.
Set where hit shows are afraid to go.
Grand ambitions with cunning revisions.
Long campaign with forgotten names. .

It appears ABC has cancelled Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone and Pushing Daisy’s while 4 more episodes of Life on Mars have been ordered and the show will move to Wednesday at ten following Lost which simply must be a better timeslot for a time traveling cop show than following Grey’s Anatomy. I hope the audience follows and grows
BUT the big news this week is that the CW will begin re-airing the episodic, post apocalyptic, fan favorite Jericho on Sunday nights. This news, coupled with the recent lockout of fans from the CBS Jericho board has some speculating that the 2 events are somehow linked. Stay Tuned...
.
The Jericho Junction will be hosting Jericho Personal Messages. The subject matter could be anything one Jericho fan wants to communicate to another. Examples:
.
To my friends from the CBS board thanks for the memories - Terocious
.
Bonnie lover seeking others equally smitten to join Bonnie Yahoo Group.
.
Jericho Dojo - Where Jericho and martial arts meet. Signup at jerichodojo.com
.
Think of it like the personal messages of your local paper and just like those services Jericho Junction reserves the right to refuse to publish a personal message or to delete objectionable words or phrases. I promise to be as fair as possible.
.
You can send personal messages to terocious66@gmail.com

Everywhere I look I see something that I’ve learned
and in everything I‘ve learned I see something that I looked at first
and thought about.
.
Most everything I’ve done I am bound to do again
So I try, if I can, to lock it all in.
.
But if I can’t make it stick
I let the feeling that I felt
when I figured something out
help
me
retrace
my
steps
past
doubt.

In the van, on the way to work every day, I drive over a bridge which crosses an inlet between the ocean and the bay. The sun is generally coming up and there are 40 shades of silver. On this particular day the voice from the radio is saying that viewing was seriously down for premier week on the networks. From my mouth fall the words: “They’re all watching online.”
