- When a network lowers the guillotine on a show, that’s usually the end of it. I’m sure there are angry calls to the network from angry die-hard fans. Perhaps someone even threatens bodily harm to some poor network exec. Then, after a week, things die down and everyone goes on with their lives.
  
  Sometimes, though, things get nuts. Literally. Jericho, the post-apocalyptic drama that has earned an especially loyal fan base is back on TV thanks to a rather unique and sustained campaign. Thousands of Jericho-lovers sent peanuts to CBS’s studio, a reference to a character on the show who expressed his disappointment with the word “NUTS.”
  
  The strategy worked. CBS decided to put a second, abbreviated season on the air.
  
  And, what about a third season? As fans begin stockpiling jars of Planters, things don’t actually look that bad for Jericho. A reasonable showing in the ratings this spring could earn the show another season because the writer’s strike has left development on new shows (possible replacements) behind schedule.
  
  Meanwhile, The Sci-Fi Channel will be running season one episodes, a hint that, if something doesn’t work out with CBS (or if the price of nuts rises to astronomical levels), Jericho might be reincarnated on cable.
