According to this source, the show has been canceled again.--Aamin Maritza (talk) 13:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably just as well. It never got out of second gear. 67.49.8.228 (talk) 22:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was a mention of an alternative ending, depending on whether the show was to be cancelled or not. Wondering if they would show that ending as well, at some point? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.195.154.224 (talk) 17:14, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Throughout he epic of Jericho, I have been utterly amazed by the writers' unwillingness to do a little on-the-ground research. They seem to know nothing of the Midwest. For example, it's set in a farming town in Kansas, but in season one, people are starving. How? Every town in Kansas is full of corn, soy, alfalfa, and lots and lots of meat. Beef, pork, poultry. These people would be up to their ears in food. And where do all those dry hills come from? Can't they do some filming in, say, the Central Valley?

Another point: Small American towns do not elect mayors. Mayors are members of the city council who chair council meetings. City managers run day to day operations. Only big cities have elected, executive mayors. In the series, you never see the city council, you never see the county board. All you see is an executive mayor.

By the way, every county in the midwest is so crisscrossed by rails, railroad museums, and rail hobbyists, that it is inconceivable that no stock whatsoever would move for months. And airplanes. Every town has an airport or airfield. Lots of old planes have purely mechanical engines that would not be affected by EMP.

Maybe the writers should have spent a few days in a Kansas farm town. They would have learned something. Sorry for the rant, I'm just a small town history buff.Scott Adler (talk) 09:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps explaining one facet of this show's multiple cancellation saga? Fortunately, it will be back on TV, since Sci-Fi has picked it up for a third season in the US. Perhaps the producers will have the budget and stability to get things a bit more authentic going forward. Should we include a section on the pick-up by Sci-Fi and see if there exists any details as yet on whether their will be a more authentic Kansas feel to production? If nothing else, we should keep an eye out for this.206.17.98.11 (talk) 19:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
