Jericho: Having A Party

Mark your calendars. Set your online reminders. Tell your friends. Write yourself a note and put it somewhere that you will find it at the beginning of February.

What’s the occasion? According to the CBS website, Jericho returns to CBS on Tuesday February 12, 2008 at 10 PM.

I wonder how many devoted fans will host Jericho parties that night. There’s an idea! Wouldn’t it be great to celebrate the return of the best show on television with your best friends? Here’s a list of Jericho party suggestions."

As for Jericho, while it's "Nuts" campaign gave it a very short seven episode second season, the fact that it's only seven episodes means that the networks weren't too confident that ratings would increase, and I don't know that I am either. Maybe the strike absence of most of the bigger shows this winter will help more people give it a try. One can only hope as this post-apocalyptic drama had a lot of heart and a sense of hope that most shows of its type lack.

Jericho Goodies

"So, back from a few days off and it takes me half a day to plow through 400+ e-mails (I kid you not; I wish I was), check voice mail, do some housekeeping and figure out what news took place in my absence. Thank goodness the new season of Jericho was announced before I headed out!

Anyway, I promised to discuss various ways we could get behind our beloved show and make sure enough folks see it so it gets renewed for a full third season, but it appears I have lots of Jericho goodness to share before getting to that. I’ll hit ‘em fast:"

"Negotiations have broken off for the time being at least, but it's still important to understand what's at issue. There are now several recent proposals that have been publicly disclosed, as I had hoped would be the case (see WGA Strike - Confusion Reigns). What deal points are on the table and how far apart are the parties? I've written a very detailed memo, which includes references to supporting documents. A caveat - the studios have not described their proposal in detail, whereas the Guild has described both parties' proposals in detail; so, the description of the studios' proposal is based on the Guild's description."

Ho Ho Ho: Jericho Returns !

"A new report from Nielsen shows young adults are increasingly watching TV at times other than their original broadcasts — on devices that aren't TVs, reports Mediaweek.

56 percent of those studied, ages 18-34, say they catch up on missed episodes of a show online, on portable devices or using a DVR:"



"Nielsen has partnered with Digimarc to digitally "watermark" or fingerprint video clips from media companies circulating on the Internet. Clips would have a unique ID and specific rules could be assigned to govern their uploading and distribution accordingly, to prevent copyright infringement."
