Dont let CBS win this battle...change the way these tv networks view their shows and the viewers FOREVER...
This is about more than Jericho..its old media vs new media and old way of metering viewers vs the new media revolution.
CBS built an immense online presense for JERICHO, encouraged people to get involved and watch the show online and now they are taking Jericho away...
CBS bemoans the demo and how the young people are not watching on TV..hello?? They are watching on TV and online on the platform YOU built and encouraged people to use..
The Nielsens have been a flawed way of looking at viewing habits of TV shows for years...Are you going to let the select few with those precious Nielsen meters decide what the REST of us are going to watch???
Again this fight is important to Jericho but more important that we the viewers be heard about how popularity of tv shows are figured out now in this new age..
If you are sick and tired of these holier than thou network executives disrespecting audiences by putting shows on and then yanking them off the air or bouncing them around the schedule with ruthless disregard for its audience...this is your fight..
If your sick and tired of being force fed this reality tv show garbage like a crack addict then this is your fight !!
If you want the networks to give us more quality original programming that is not a spin off or rip off of another series...then this is your fight.
If your a cable tv fan who wants a show to be able to come back to the networks for..then this is your fight
If television itself is ever going to evolve back into what it was meant to be...then this is your fight..
In the end even if we do not prevail in this battle, CBS will surely know we were here and we will have left a mark on CBS for years to come....
CBS and its egomaniacal executives have to be reminded that yes we the audience DO matter.
These days ahead are long and treacherous and we are dealing with a billion dollar heartless corporation..remember we are their viewing public, if we do not win this we can ultimately win by NOT watching CBS.
CBS would think they won in the short run but in the long run they will be the true losers...
Now push ahead and speak out to the media and all who will hear you...
Get up off your chairs and couches and do something...MAKE A DIFFERENCE !!!
