"TV networks launch multimedia games to keep viewers buzzing
CBS used a mixed-media puzzle involving online clues and outdoor billboards to stimulate interest in its cerebral detective show “Numb3rs.” The puzzle is just one example of how online and offline marketing combinations are being used in a bid to promote TV shows, capture new audiences and hold current viewers’ interest. Shows like ABC’s “Lost” and “Jericho” on CBS have used similar strategies."
"If the strike lasts another four to six weeks, it could spell the end for 2008 pilot production. The most-circulated scenario in that case involves the networks renewing all their existing series for next fall, producing their pilots in the summer and launching their new crop of shows in midseason 2009."
"CBS will hope to bring some magic to the broadcast network with the decidedly un-family-friendly serial-killer thriller "Dexter" and perhaps other series from sister cable network Showtime.
"It probably speaks to how much they need scripted product," Brill said. "They probably have the least backup of any network. There are seven episodes of 'Jericho.' Maybe they are wishing they had gotten more."
"CBS Was Warned on ‘Kid Nation,’ Documents Show"
Many thanks to maybei who kindly agreed to let me post her wonderful poem:
With morning coffee everyday
I start things off the Jericho way
First I start with a daily vote
To keep up the numbers and promote
After that I go and DIGG
Take a break and have a cig
Then I might play a game
Who's been captured? Name that Name
Post a message, take a poll
Spread the Jericho Spirit is my goal
It only takes a little time
Not much longer than to make this rhyme
Sounds like a good way to start every day!! Thanks!

Save Bob's Family Campaign
Skeeterbit thought it would be a fun idea to send some play money and a note to Bob Stevenson after reading the production blog.
The idea is for you guys to post messages to Bob. I will do up a note, include some play money, and send it off on behalf of all of us at RFJ. I'd like to get some more responses so we can send it out soon.
I'm always scampering around trying to find anything Jericho and, today, I found something I hadn't seen before. It's a
great website from AndiMn of CBS board. Good draw for new fans. It's called Rejected Reality. Check it out here.
What a really fun idea!
What we are going to do is role play in the Jericho world a bit. Everyone is going to create a character. This character can be a representative of the real you, a complete fantasy, or a little bit of both.
Then, we are going to go through all the episodes one by one, starting with the Pilot. We will talk amongst each other in the voices of these characters. More details and general rules will be forthcoming.
To have a story, we need characters...so go here to fill out the character survey.
