The citizens of a small Kansas town panic when a nuclear mushroom cloud appears on the horizon, leaving them isolated from the outside world.
  • After reading your June 20 ... | Matt Roush | 6/30/2008
    Question: After reading your June 20 letter about the cancellation/possible pick-up of Angel — sorry, I mean Moonlight — and then this week's Save Jericho Again commercial on Discovery, I have to ask: Don't you think enough is enough? And has Jericho's second season given other fans false hope? I mean, how often do other networks really pick up cancelled shows? (I can think of JAG, Paradise Hotel and now Scrubs.) Don't get me wrong, I really liked Jericho. I signed the original petition to bring the show back and then did my duty and watched every Season 2 episode. But I loved The 4400, which itself was recently snuffed out, but I refrained from sending sunflowers seeds. But shows come and go, and then (fortunately) live on on DVD. We can mourn, but should then just sit ourselves down and turn the telly back on for the next round of shows (Fringe, Dollhouse and Season 2 of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, anyone?), don't you think? Answer: It really isn't up to me to tell fans to give up ... read more
  • The Moonlight Goes Out | Matt Roush | 5/14/2008
    I’ll admit it. I’m floored. I was wrong. I was naïve. I drank the bloody Kool-Aid and started thinking like a fan (even though I always had my critical reservations). Up until last weekend, when the prognostications started turning sour, I truly thought CBS would give its cult romantic-mystery vampire drama Moonlight a long leash and a chance to work out its kinks—the narrative ones, that is; the kinkiness of the vampire romance was actually working—with a second-season renewal, or even a midseason backup order.But no, they went and put a stake in Mick St. John, who as played by the charismatic Alex O’Loughlin had arguably the greatest potential for breakout buzz of any freshman-series character this season (and yes, I’m including the nubile fleshpots of Gossip Girl in this statement). My initial reaction, beyond despair at the thought of the unforgivingly bitter and relentlessly anguished mail that’s starting to arrive in my mailbag, was: Did... read more
  • Don't you think Jericho show ... | Matt Roush | 4/14/2008
    Question: Don't you think Jericho show would be a good fit for a cable network like Sci Fi or Spike, or even A&E? Would they be interested in picking up a network series?
    Answer: I've read reports that the producers are shopping it around, but frankly, on this one, I'm skeptical, though nothing would surprise me, given the unusual history of this show. I'm not sure what network would have the resources to take this show to the next level, which is the only reason anyone should consider keeping it going. By cutting its episode order and budget, CBS diminished the show's chances and reputation, even as the network dangled false hope to the fan base with its renewal. Though a cable network might get an initial publicity bump for giving Jericho a third life, I can't help but think this one looks like damaged goods. But as we've learned, anything is possible ... read more
  • Recently, Mike L. griped that ... | Matt Roush | 4/4/2008
    Question: Recently, Mike L. griped that the creators of the show destroyed Jericho. I didn't watch Jericho, but my husband did, so this comment is really for him. He often complains to me that there aren't shows for men any more. He actually liked the fact that they reduced the family drama emphasis, and he would have been very interested in The Unit except for the heavy emphasis on the home front. He gripes that men in most shows don't even behave like "real men." I'd suggest that he watch Supernatural with me since I see Dean as a more realistic guy, but my husband really isn't into horror/supernatural. 24 would be good, but he has trouble playing along when they take illogical liberties. Yes, the guy's picky, and he's the first to admit it. I feel lucky that he suspended disbelief enough to watch Chuck with me. The TV industry is largely run by men, so you'd think there'd be more out there for guys. Or is it just my husband? Could it be that producers are trying so hard to appeal to ... read more
  • I feel the need to defend ... | Matt Roush | 4/4/2008
    Question: I feel the need to defend Jericho. Now that the show has (presumably) aired its last episode, a lot of fans are crying foul, berating the writers for "not offering closure." I don't understand what these people expected. The writers were given seven episodes and absolutely no idea if that would be it or not. This run was supposed to give the fans more than what the first season finale gave us (now that would have been an insufficient ending.) They brought it back, showed the resolution of the New Bern storyline, moved through the conspiracy and resolved exactly who was behind the bombs and why. They also took steps towards exposing the conspiracy (another continuing thread from Season 1), and we have an idea where all the characters are at. I don't understand what people wanted out of this finale. Did they want everything folded into a perfect little package like the Third Watch finale? No thanks. They resolved the central mystery of the show, furthered relationships and left ... read more
