On the Jericho website at CBS.com, it says that the show will be back at 9PM (Eastern) on Friday nights, starting on July 6th.

Wonder if they'll rerun every episode?

I just hope they rerun the balance of the episodes that I deleted unwatched when the show was cancelled, that had bled out of my Recently Deleted folder by the time the "Nuts!" campaign paid off. :o Oops.

They're only showing the Pilot and then the 2nd (better) half of the season this summer on Fridays.

They may have all episodes up on cbs.com, I'm not sure.

So much for CBS's President of Entertainment saying they'd rerun the series thru the summer.

go with in-show product placements - then networks would be all kinds of excited for DVR viewers. the drawback is in-show product placement(s) are often blatent, cheesy, and utterly break the flow of the character/dialog/theme/premise/show.

I'm very confused on how this connects to our thread.

Rerun some of it during the summer apparantly.

1st half of the season got pretty good ratings, it's the back half that no one watched, so I guess it makes sense to rerun those.
Well, not anyone with a Nielsen box anyway, the rest of us don't count.

Email we, as affiliates, got wasn't totally clear on what they were going to do.
It looks like they are going to run episode one, then the midseason recap show,
followed by the rest of the back half.

I guess we'll know for sure once the guide data starts showing up.

Oops... wrong Jericho thread...

there's another thread where execs are saying "don't TiVo our show, watch our show live". This post belongs there...

Ummm...

The full season ran already.

The next new episodes will be next season.

TV seasons start in the Fall.

CBS will decide when, next season, to run the next of the 7 or 8 episodes they've ordered...so far.

Obviously. I was just wondering if the new eps were going to be on this year, since I read somewhere that that was a possibility.

I think it's being billed as a "mid-season replacement series".

That usually means after football season. The networks tend to shuffle their schedules after Sunday (formerly Monday) night opens up. I know it really only directly involves one network, but it seems to be sort of a domino effect. So I'd guess that this calendar year is doubtful. Maybe you heard "this year" as in "this coming [TV] year."

Which means Jericho will be back just in time to go up against American Idol again. Great!! :rolleyes:

Could be sooner if any of the new shows gets the axe right out of the gate.

Jericho's replacement doesn't look long for this world, Viva Loughlin either.

I has nothing to do with football. It's just the traditional time when the Holidays are over and networks try out new series in slots that were vacted by cancelled shows.

And still the network execs will wonder "what happened", and "gee... guess we were right to cancel Jericho in the first place, see... nobody is watching".

American Idol is King. nay - GOD. It dominates Prime Time viewing like extremely few others (Friends, Seinfeld, Survivor in it's prime). Gotta wonder what execs of the other three networks are thinking...

They haven't announced what timeslot it will air in. My guess is that it will go in a timeslot where they don't expect huge ratings out of it, just to be safe, which would mean it won't go against AI at all. Probably more like Tuesday or Friday night at 10.

We need a baseline measure.

A network should schedule one hour of black screen at the same time American Idol airs. Heck, even go to commercials following the normal schedule for such things. Then see what the ratings turn out to be.

Why? I would think that would make even MORE people turn to AI wouldn't it?

Or are you saying that there are more people that would watch black nothing than AI?

I have no clue where you're going with this...

He's saying that we have no way to guage how well other shows do against AI until we know how "nothing" does against AI. If the shows the other networks put on don't really do any better than "nothing," then there's no reason for them to compete. Traditional thinking says that any of the big three networks could put on a test pattern and get at least 3 million viewers so this would be a good time to find out if that's true. Then we'd know whether the other networks even need to bother.

Ah - that makes sense.

And, it wouldn't surprise me that a test pattern would get at least a million viewers - perhaps as many as two...
