Has anyone seen the pilot for this yet? I know it doesn't officially start till next Wednesday but I wondered if there was anyone else as impatient as me :ph43r:

For those who haven't heard of it before here is a brief synopsis.........

Taken from Yahoo.tv

Wow! I was on the edge of my seat throughout most of the episode :o

The main character, Jake Green (played by the lovely Skeet Ulric), returns home to Jericho to see his family after a 5 year absence. Just what has he been up to?
On his way back out of town disaster strikes and he is swept up in events far beyond his control. Meanwhile, his father, the town Mayor, is frantically trying to find out what has happened in the world outside, and to stop panic from overtaking his town. And just who is that guy who says he is an ex-cop who just moved to town?

I cannot wait for the next episode :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Agree with you 100%, I thought the pilot episode was absolutely captivating :thumbsup:

It comes across as being Jeremiah-esque in it's plot, which endeared it to me right off the bat :thumbsup: As pilots go though I still thought it was pretty strong. I'll be interested to see how it does in the ratings. I'm hoping it'll be ok, from what I can see it's not up against stellar competition; Bones on Fox and America's Next Top Model on CW, but besides that it could be in for a fairly light time of it (fingers crossed!).

I was thinking Jeremiah too :thumbsup:

Actually, does anyone know how I would get a hold of Jeremiah season 2?

Although MGM says that it intends to release it on DVD at some point they're very coy with specific dates, meaning it's probably not going to be anytime soon :rolleyes:

Other than that, it's probably satellite or download.

Had a quick scan around some torrent sites and it doesn't look good :( Did I mention that I've got all of season two........? :unsure:

JERICHO officially premiered last nite and I found it pretty engrossing.

It didn't start out promisingly, with the slightly melodramatic return of a young man to his hometown -- to a mixed reaction from the townsfolk and his family. But, this was swiftly glided over and before long the mushroom cloud appeared on the horizon and the show picked up.

This unfolds at a very deliberate pace. More like the pacing of a small town. Varoius characters and their situations are introduced. But not enuf to overwhelming. My only concern, is that, with the young man's mysterious background, and another man's mysterious background, we might be seeing another LOST -- with each little revelation leading to more layers of mystery. I gave up on LOST. I hope this shows keeps a rein on that aspect.

And the actors -- a fine group. Skeet Ulrich in the lead. The ever reliable (in acting and in persona) Gerald McRaney as his dad (I don't know if you'll notice that his Southern accent is a tiny bit stronger here). As his mother, an exceptional actress, Pamela Reed -- remember her as Arnold's fellow-FBI-agent in KINDERGARTEN COP? And from JOHN DOE and JOAN OF ARCADIA, young Sprague Graydon may finally have gotten a role suited for her.

This show is worth keeping an eye on. However, its opposite BONES and I'm forced to multitask.

Hmmm... Sounds quite good. Maybe I should get it...

Currently waiting for Kidnapped to download, though judging by last night's figures, it is not going to last a full season... :rolleyes: :lol:

It is up against CSI: NY and Grey’s Anatomy though, so it never had a chance to begin with.

"CSI: NY" - 10.6/18
"Grey's Anatomy" - 7.3/12
"Jericho" - 7.5/12
"Bones," 4.7/8
"Kidnapped" - 5.1/8

I must admit that I really enjoyed Kidnapped too :thumbsup: As much as I love to see Skeet Ulrich on my screen every week, Jeremy Sisto is just as appealing :blush: Not that I am shallow or anything :ph43r:

What are you doing on this board then ? :ph43r: :lol: ;)

Airing a full month behind the similarly themed Vanished probably hasn't helped either :rolleyes:

I like Vanished, all except for the main FBI guy. He really could do with some acting lessons :rolleyes:

Watched both Kidnapped and Jericho lost night.

Both are very good... :thumbsup:

Jericho definitely has a lot of potential. A lot of very interesting characters were introduced very quickly, so it will give them time to explore and develop them.

Kidnapped started off very quick; again it has potential and was quite enjoyable.

I’m going to keep up with both of them me thinks. :ponder:

Sounds like CBS were quite happy with the premiere of Jericho;

Taken from Tv.Com

I stuck around for CRIMINAL MINDS and CSI: NY, too. However, JERICHO's tone made the hyperkinetic CM and CSI:NY feel artificial. It didn't help that neither had a particularly good storyline.

The CSI: LV Season premiere was last nite. The episode was only so-so, IMO. However, they devoted a few minutes to setting up next week's episode. Wow! to those few minutes.

Dammit...

You've now made me go and er.... "get it". I have too many things to watch as it is. I hope you're happy! ;) :lol: :lol:

May I just add my WOW!!!! :o :fear:

I cannot WAIT for next weeks CSI :blink:

Ooooo.... very good indeed. :thumbsup:

Good episode overall, nothing major though... Oh, apart from Peterson having found a razor! :lol: He looks odd. <_<

Incidentally, overnights seem to be saying that Grey's Anatomy won the hour against CSI.

Ooops... :naughty:

Very interesting... :unsure:

Can we interpret this to mean that viewers prefer people being saved as opposed to people being autopsied? <_<

Or is it that CSI has grown old and tepid. :sleeping: And overexposed (what with CSI: MIAMI and CSI:NY). :ponder:

I think that it is just that there are more cute men and women in Grey's :lol:

That, and you really don't have to think about it. The story just washes over you inbetween the trauma of who is sleeping with who this week :lol:

Is this in your personal life? Or on the TV show? :naughty: :bag:

That would be telling ;)

:lol: How did this thread get so smuty since this afternoon when I checked it last?! :lol:

Anwyay - finals say: 25 million to Grey's and 22.2 million to CSI. :ponder:

Article HERE about GA v CSI - MAJOR spoilers for each episode. :)

Anyone who was dissatisfied about the pacing of the first episode of JERICHO should check out the tension filled second episode. Cliched situations, yes. But, it seems almost fresh. (Gotta remember that the larger post-apocalyptic plot itself is not really fresh. It was commonplace in the 50s thru 80s in various media.)

I never did like the blonde actress whose name I never learned -- and she falls short as an actress in the climactic scene. That's easy to overlook, tho. It's a "take and deep breath and hang on" episode.

Really enjoyed the second episode. I still can't shake off the Jeremiah vibes whilst watching it, but that's no bad thing in my book. Yeah, the pacing was definitely a lot faster this week, helped due to the time constraint put in place at the beginning of the episode.

That final scene looked fairly ominous. Looked like he was going to run out of those red pins before he'd finished! :o

Good news on the numbers for this week's episode;

Taken from TV.Com

Just finished watching the first two eps. Pretty damn good so far :thumbsup:

I'm not so sure if they'll manage to go the whole hog, and have a 'nuclear winter' cos I can't imagine 20 more episodes filmed in various underground locations :lol: :lol:
A second :o at the red pins!

From... HERE

:)

No I can't see that either. I think they've had an episode raising the subject, possibly another episode dedicated to experiencing the fallout itself, and then I'd imagine they'll move on. You can't have too many episodes of them all holed up somewhere. Surely!

Enjoyed the second ep although we could have done without the escaped prisoners bit, another OMG at the red pins :fear:

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next :)

I thougth Episode 3 was as good if not better then Episode 2.

/sci fi wire.com

Can't say I'm surprised. Eleven million is not a hit but it's a very good showing.

Ep 4 was okay, but it had me thinking more about the show's weaknesses. One of which is that it reminded more strongly of LOST -- with the "looping" and the deeping mystery behind the black man with no hint of answers in sight. LOST made me frustrated and I quit tuning in. JERICHO might well do the same.

I need more Gerald McRaney, Pamela Reed and sprague Graydon to help me more the dull spots. In Ep 4, they didn't appear enuf.

And -- boy! -- am I NOT interested in the soap opera life of the brother.

Still reminds me more of Jeremiah than Lost, although I can easily see what leads you to that Parallel John.

I don't things will get as intricate or as complex as Lost, as you say, 11 million viewers is a decent showing, but it doesn't give them the flexibility to fool around with the viewers' patience as much as Lost's numbers do.

I was quite happy with the fourth episode. It pretty much confirmed one of the suspicions against one of the characters, although, like Lost, that's leading to more questions.

CBS has launched an expanded Web site, WhoDroppedTheBomb.com, for its post-apocalyptic series Jericho to mollify fans until it returns on Feb. 14, 2007, according to The Hollywood Reporter; the site has webcasts of episodes with commentary tracks, a Jericho wiki encyclopedia and sneak peeks at upcoming episodes.

I hope you guys can view the videos. I just watched the premiere episode one. Producter/Director Jon Turteltaub and Producer Carol Barbee provided enjoyable commentary. :thumbsup:

Jericho Secrets Unveiled : article

Anyone still watching this (at US pace ;) )?

The last few episodes after the long hiatus have been pretty darn thrilling :thumbsup:

Grrrrrrrrrrr, I had to give this one up even though I was enjoying it :tear: I managed to miss 3 episodes due to 1*Outta Sight being too stupid to notice the Sky+ disc was full :rolleyes: and 2/unwatchable reception on the Hallmark channel :tear: I couldn't go back to watching after missing so much so decided to wait for repeats/dvd :shrug:

EDIT: How odd, that should read "me" but something's automatically changed it :blink:

Me. Me,me,me.... :shrug:

I`m still watching it - I think it`s dragging a bit in a Panic of the Week sort of way, but there`s nowt else on at that time. :ph43r:
