The cancellation of a CBS drama series has prompted outraged fans to try and save their beloved series by grabbing some nuts and flinging them at senior CBS executives.
Jake Green has inspired fans of the series Jericho to put their nuts where their passions are, and let CBS know they want the series to continue. His closing line, "Nuts," in the final episode, has been the impetus for a fan-driven effort to bring the show back.
One company has benefited from this sudden, viral campaign to save the series. After noting how their firm was suddenly shipping lots of nuts to Senior Executive VP for Programming Kelly Kahl at CBS, NutsOnline moved quickly to take advantage of the spike in interest.
Company CEO Jeffrey Braverman and his staff set up a dedicated Nuts for Jericho page after fans suggested on a wiki that they should place a massive order at NutsOnline to send along to CBS. NutsOnline set it up in a way that people can pay $5 or $10 increments to be part of a massive group nut shipment.
On their Jericho page, NutsOnline said they have shipped a thousand pounds of nuts as a group order. Also, another 509 pounds of various other items have been ordered with CBS as the destination.
"Sometimes, a CBS comedy just writes itself," Braverman said. "Jericho fans have been shipping peanuts, almonds and even the occasional organic cashew - now that’s dedication - to CBS headquarters."

Save Jericho
Thank you so much for the mention. We all are rooting for a season 2 of the show. We aren't just fighting for Jericho alone. It's also a fight for the viewers to have a choice. The networks are not looking at all the people, the internet downloads, tivo and all the people that go and watch it on CBS's site when can't see it live. Thank you again for giving us a voice. We are still fighting and aren't giving up.

Thank you for this wonderful article on our efforts to save our favorite show. CBS made a very bad move in cancelling this quality show.
JERICHO NUTS TO CBS!
Thank you so much for mentioning our efforts ot save a wonderful TV program. Jericho is quality TV.....I have never been involved in anything like this before....but I feel so compelled to make a stand for family TV. We watched every single episode with our five children (ages 10-17) and NOT ONCE did i have to "cringe" because of images, content or language. It was a show that appealed to every single one of us. As a mother, I feel I have to do something to keep an amazing show like Jericho on the air for at least another season! Suddenly, my family's time has become way too valuable to watch anything on CBS!!!!
Good article. Save Jericho!

I'm just going to stop watching tv...series held responsible for a weak tv company...they should make sure that enough shows are produced so that the public isn't bombarded with reruns...weak shows are allowed to stay on forever and the good ones are pulled...why not tell the pubic before you resort to such underhanded business...no wonder CBS is such a weak broadcasting company...may they forever stay in last place out of the big three...I was just starting to watch that sorry broadcasting company and now I can stop and find something better to do with my time.
Thank you for showing
Thank you for showing support in the Save Jericho Campaign.

We want season 2
Nothing less will do...
CBS - you must bring this show back, or at least sell the rights so another network can pick them up and continue this great show!!
You did it with JAG (you snagged it from NBC) and you had 9 great seasons of the show...
Let it go, or bring it back!!!!!
Thank You for the article

Just wanted to say thank for the mention of the show Jericho, we desperately want it back for another season
Save Jericho
Many many thanks, David!
Many thanks! Jericho is the
Many thanks! Jericho is the best new show on TV and "failed" due to the poor marketing and decision making of CBS. A dedicated 8 million viewers for a 1st year show is actually quite good -- not to mention it had to compete with reality TV's worst show ever -- American "fake" Idol.
SAVE JERICHO
NUTS TO CBS!!!
David,
Thanks so much for giving us this much needed publicity!!! We are SO SERIOUS about SAVING JERICHO! We want it back for it's SECOND SEASON! It's the only show my entire family gathered to watch..and well, it's been a long time since I've had everybody in one room watching the same show in total enjoyment..not to mention the conversation that went on afterwards! We've been glued to the series since Episode 1!!! We're also boycotting CBS until we get Jericho BACK in this home!
The NUT TOTAL is now over 2 TONS and this is only the COLLECTIVE TOTAL for pooled contributions!!!

I have to say this was the second best show on TV this year second only to Heroes...
Go NUTS! Bring Jericho Back!
THE SHOW MUST GO ON
I'f you Google "JERICHO",I'm shure you will be getting a few more hits now,than you would before the sevententh of may. You will have gottin a few hundred thousand more if I'm correct.Point is never before has a show brought this much action this fast,and we are just gitting going.
JERICHO was a great show , dont take my word for it watch it yourself, its on the web.I listened to a web show last night i did not know existed, and herd oppinions from many die-hard fans from countries i did not know could even understand our culture.I'm amazed at the boundries that have been broken in this small time period, ther is a story here, and some one needs to let the many people unaware know the story.
