Breaking: The CW Revives 'Jericho,' Cancels Four Shows

Categories: Uncategorized

Jericho_lAnd the award for the most misleading title of the week goes to … the one that accompanies this story!

The CW is actually reviving repeats of Jericho as part of a revamped Sunday night lineup that also includes encores of Everybody Hates Chris, The Drew Carey Show and movies from MGM’s contemporary library. The new schedule, which takes effect Nov. 30, shakes down as follows:

5 p.m.: Everybody Hates Chris
5:30 p.m.: The Game
6: p.m.: The Drew Carey Show
6:30 p.m.: The Drew Carey Show
7-8 p.m.: Jericho
8-10 p.m.: Movie

As you probably figured out, this means Valentine, Easy Money, and all those other Media Rights Capital shows have been officially axed. They’ll have their final airings this Sunday.

    Smart Guy.
    How many of the guys on Gossip Girl are gay? All of them? Maybe I have to start watching. :]

  • AusIsAusome

    Rumors are rampant that Pushing Daisies is officially… pushing daisies. Can you confirm or debunk?!

  • Freddie

    Ack! I call evil!
    I couldn’t figure out how in the world it could be (especially since I think “Eric” is now playing “Jim” on Ghost Whisperer) but I was still momentarily besides myself with gleeful giddiness.
    And I don’t even get the CW.

  • SerenityBlue

    Okay, Michael. That was just cruel. Even if I did think a second after reading the headline that it was too good to be be true.

  • academy

    mad shame getting my hopes up like that…i guess reruns are better than nothing…REVIVE IT FOR REAL

  • rachel elisabeth

    Cool, maybe I’ll check out Jericho. I meant to watch it when it was on but kept forgetting and I hate watching shows without seeing from the beginning.

  • John

    DAMN YOU AUSIELLO! I was so excited until I continued to read. I want new episodes of Jericho, I have Universal HD for my repeats!

  • K6

    Smart move by the CW it’s Sunday night is going to be flooded with Jericho fans.
    The fight for season three continues on the Universal HD board. Also watch for the fan made Save Jericho commercial to air Nationally this month on Universal HD.
    Go Rangers!

  • Josh

    Awesome! I’ve always wanted to watch Jericho, but I heard about it when it started it’s second season so I didn’t bother watching it. I’ll definitely tune in, or DVR, Jericho. Great move on The CW’s part. They should do the same with Moonlight. ;)

  • sarah

    that was very mean ausiello!!! everyone i know wants NEW jericho not reruns!

  • Josh Emerson

    Damn you Ausiello!! You are just pure evil. Get our hopes up and then reveal it’s only repeats. That sucks. Maybe if the repeats do better than the CW’s crap they’ll bring Jericho back for new eps?

  • Modwild

    They would have had a wicked night of hits with Moonlight and Jericho. They passed on Moonlight – how dumb can they be???

  • C.

    “Jericho” has more lives than Lazarus.
    Bravo to The CW.

  • Sophie

    I was super excited when I saw that title! How annoying. They so should bring Jericho back.

  • Lucas

    don’t get too happy folks. repeats doesn’t mean they have any thoughts about reviving the show or that the cast and crew will still be around to do it.

  • Laura

    Come on CW. Should’ve thought of this earlier! Like, when it got canceled the second time? They would’ve had a field day with the ratings…

  • Nat

    That’s just mean… :( Please don’t do that again. People here really want Jericho back and some returns can’t replace it…

  • Kenn

    Thanks for the misleading headline. I don’t scan entertainment headlines to be tricked. How lame.

  • Serena

    CW, get “My Own Worst Enemy” if NBC isn’t continuing that. :D

  • HarryMcBack

    I don’t see why the CW doesn’t pick up something from syndication, like Legend of Seeker that is getting good syndication ratings.

  • Anonymous

    and the daisies have died

  • Shannon

    I agree the title made me get all excited and than we find out its only going to be the rerun’s!!!!! Lame!!!!!!

  • Nick

    This is kind of wishful thinking, but maybe if CW gets good enough ratings with these reruns they’ll actually try to revive it with some new episodes? And anyone else hoping that the CW picks up Pushing Daisies, considering it’s pretty much inevitable that it’ll get canceled on ABC now?

  • ann

    Dang it! Valentine was my overly ridiculous guilty pleasure show. Sure, the main actress sucked, but what else was I supposed to watch for mindless entertainment on Sunday night?!
    Poo.

  • Todd

    you need to get on the ball and announce the ABC bloodletting that’s going on. Pushing Daisies, Dirty, Sexy Money & Eli Stone have all been cancelled, as reported by E!

  • jeremy

    Why is it that no one is smart enough to pick this show up and run with it. Can you imagine what they could do with it on HBO, I would get HBO just for it. It was one of the greatest shows every.

  • BackstrokingFly

    Well, at least I won’t have to wear out my DVDs. But really, this just means that thousands of new fans will be sadly disappointed when the 29 episodes are over and they must face the reality that there ain’t no more. sniff.

  • Alex

    Do you think if the ratings are high enough the show could be brought back?

  • Rangerette

    This is great news for Jericho. All the Rangers should be watching every episode as it airs. If we can push CW’s ratings high enough they may decide to make new episodes so don’t be disgusted that it is just re-runs this could very well be the thing that we have been waiting for all of these long months. So everyone please make sure that you watch!!!

  • Justathought

    NBC canceled Jericho when it dropped to “only” 9 million viewers against Dancing with the Stars. Anyone would love to have those ratings these days.**Jericho had a loyal and growing audience. If NBC had guaranteed two more years when they brought it back, they would have had a continued winner with longterm, money making repeats.
    **The last episode was left open and there is lots more story to tell. Maybe someday…
