Is Jericho the Show That Wouldn’t Die?
ByTaking a cue from rival net NBC, CBS may be seeking a cost-sharing partnership to save a fan fave.
Apocalyptic drama Jericho may once again be resurrected, this time by means of a possible deal between CBS and cable provider Comcast. The deal may be structured similarly to one between NBC and DirectTV, which gave the sat TV provider first run rights to Friday Night Lights in exchange for splitting the show’s production costs with NBC.
A steady decline in ratings notwithstanding, Jericho has a dedicated following. Fans of the show have once already pulled Jericho back from the brink. CBS, it seems, may once again be ready to favor the faithful who just won’t let Jericho go gently into that good night. If this show manages to crawl out of the crypt for a second time, I may actually have to watch.
