Regardless of how you feel about this show, you have to admit that technology has redefined the television experience in a way that is innovative and exciting and a welcome alternative to the mind-numbing reality television that has infiltrated the rest of society. Jericho was designed to give viewers options in a multi-media experience, providing episodes at scheduled times, as well as via TiVO, DVRs, On-Demand, and online. I expect that each of these venues are affiliated with their own means of revenue production. I suggest that the outdate ratings system used to make the decision to cancel has been unable to keep up with the times and is therefore starkly unrepresentative of the profit value of a show such as Jericho. I personally have donated money towards nuts and hope for a second season, but in the end, this will be an interesting case study in how the old guard chooses to respond to the digital revolution for all to watch.
