Question: The return of
Jericho brings up the question of how many other series have been renewed after having been officially canceled. I know some have done reunion specials or made-for-TV movies down the road, but how many have been brought back for actual episodes (even if it's just seven or so)?
Answer: Again, it's entirely possible I'll leave something out here, but the historical precedent that most immediately comes to mind is
Cagney & Lacey, which was truly and most sincerely dead until a fan campaign helped revive it (which led to the formation of the sorely missed Viewers for Quality Television organization). The fact that
Cagney ended up running for years and became something of an Emmy darling should give hope to those impassioned
Jericho nuts. (Well, not so much the Emmy stuff in this case.)
