Sujet : [NEWS] Jericho
Après une saison 1 divertissante, un cliffhanger de fin de saison illustré par une annulation pure et simple de la série, les fans (et ceux qui avaient apprécié) on eu du mal à avaler la pilule du lendemain).
Se servant d'un gimmick de la série ("Nuts", citation du officier ricain pendant la WW2), ils ont décidé d'envoyer un max de cacahouètes à CBS, producteurs de la série. Après plus de 10 000 Kg reçus, des milliers des mails et courriers, la chaîne craque et commande une deuxième saison de 7 épisodes (potentiellement plus selon l'audience). Cette saison pourrait être visible dès octobre.
La lettre de la présidente de CBS aux fans :
June 6, 2007
To the Fans of Jericho:
Wow!
Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard.
As a result, CBS has ordered seven episodes of “Jericho” for mid-season next year. In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more “Jericho,” we will need more viewers.
A loyal and passionate community has clearly formed around the show. But that community needs to grow. It needs to grow on the CBS Television Network, as well as on the many digital platforms where we make the show available.
We will count on you to rally around the show, to recruit new viewers with the same grass-roots energy, intensity and volume you have displayed in recent weeks.
At this time, I cannot tell you the specific date or time period that “Jericho” will return to our schedule. However, in the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences. This includes re-broadcasting “Jericho” on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing the story of Jericho in the digital world until the new episodes return. We will let you know specifics when we have them so you can pass them on.
On behalf of everyone at CBS, thank you for expressing your support of “Jericho” in such an extraordinary manner. Your protest was creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone. You made a difference.
Sincerely,
Nina Tassler
President, CBS Entertainment
Be patient...
