Jericho
2006-2008 - Skeet Ulrich, Lennie James, Gerald McRaney
Centered around the small town of Jericho, Kansas, in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on 23 major cities. To be quite honest with you, I can't say anything else about the plot of the show or else the whole premise is completely ruined. What I can say is that they did a fantastic job setting up a quiet town, nice place to live in the few short minutes before all Hell breaks loose. Some really tense moments in the first episode alone. I liked the writing and the characterization. Plus, it's post-apocalyptic so you know I'm in. I don't know how I missed this show when it aired, but I'm sad that it didn't last longer than 29 episodes (and two "seasons" of comics, so far). Ended on a good note, such that I'll be acquiring the season three comics as soon as I can, as well as season four. My only criticism is that season two was only 7 episodes and they had to abandon some of the miscellaneous character plot lines. That said, it was still good. 4.25/5

I was a big fan of Jericho when it was on. I remember when they said they were cancelling it and tons of people sent nuts to CBS trying to keep it on tv. According to Wikipedia - 20 tons of nuts. That's a lot of nuts. Nuts!
I heard about it but never had the chance to see it.
Wait until you see my non recommendation next week!
haven't seen that one.
Only one? Holy cow you must have been busy. The kids and Tony saw Pirates. Eh....
Really? So I should have stuck with it? During the first episode, I didn't connect with any of the characters and couldn't hang with the show. I'll have to press through. Do I have to not have an aversion to Skeet Ulrich?
Thanks for the recommendation!
Haven't seen it, but I think it's actually available on some channel over here. Not my cup of tea though.
Hey Joshua! Post apocalypticism is good for me, too. So yep, I'll give this a try sometime! Indigo
i tried this one, but could never get into it.
my hubs is in love with a new one on netflix called Green Wing... you might give it a view... pretty nsfw.
I tried to watch this show when it was on originally but just could never get into it for some reason...I may have to give it another whirl now...
Sounds pretty decent. I'll have to put it on the HUGE list :)
So that's where Skeet Ulrich has been huh?
I used to love that show! I was really sad when it was cancelled
