"Save Jericho Now!" supports these supporters! We all had one thing in common - bring Jericho back. Now we must work together to promote Jericho AND KEEP PROMOTING JERICHO. The battle is not over and as fans, we must continue to do our part. Check out your fellow fans around world.
On May 4th, at around 10 PM, an
E5 tornado tore through the town of Greensburg, Kansas, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake: loss of life, injuries, 1,000 destroyed homes, 250 destroyed businesses, and 90-95% of the community wiped out. It will cost upwards of $100 million to rebuild the community, parks, streets, roads, community center, city hall, and to restore some degree of normalcy to this small town.
Our favorite show, Jericho, takes place in a fictitious town in Kansas that is clinging to hope and survival in a time of massive disaster. The real Kansas needs our help, too. Let's act with the same fierce love and dedication we've shown our favorite show!
Nutsonline donated 10 cents per pound of all peanuts shipped in the NUTS for Jericho campaign, including all retroactive orders. They are also donating the entirety of proceeds from each shirt that they sell. We encourage you Jericho Fans to help out directly as well.
You can mail contributions directly to:
Greensburg Rebuilding Fund
Greensburg State Bank
ATT: Fans of Jericho
240 South Main St.
Greensburg, KS 67054
If you are considering large sums, please donate to them directly. Steve Hewitt, the city administrator, will track contributions from Jericho Fans and relay that information to Jeffrey from nutsonline.
As for the tax deduction issue, the Greensburg Rebuilding Fund is not a 501(c)(3). It is a municipal agency. If you donate directly, they will mail you back a thank you letter. Steve said the contribution is tax deductible, but that you would have to have a tax professional handle the deduction.
Donate through nutsonline.com Donate as little as $5.00 to the Greensburg Rebuilding Fund directly from Nutsonline.com
Save Greensburg T-shirts ALL PROCEEDS from sales of these shirts go to the Greensburg, Kansas Rebuilding Fund. This store also features "We did it!" victory T-shirts and items for the Save Jericho Campaign.

A very funny thank you to the volunteers on the Save Jericho Campaign video from three cast members of the series - Brad Beyers, Bob Stephenson and Richard Speight Jr. Play the video below! Thanks guys!
THE NUT CAMPAIGN
The NUT campaign was a HUGE success. We got our message across loud and clear and the momentum never died down.
We wanted to show CBS that our efforts were not just a knee jerk reaction - we meant business.
With the help of nutsonline.com, fans were able to donate as little as $5 to bulk shipments of peanuts to CBS in New York and California. Nutsonline also made it possible to send a personal message with each order. All messages were printed and shipped along with the nuts.
A huge THANK YOU to our preferred nut provider
NUTS ONLINE A great selection of quality nuts at a cheap price with fast service to boot. Not only do they sell nuts of all varieties, they specialize in dried fruit, coffees & teas, seeds & spices, snacks & mixes and chocolates & sweets. My personal favorite? Dark Chocolate Covered Almond Clusters - mm!
FINAL NUMBERS
Pounds shipped
40,297 lbs
That's over 8 million peanuts and 20.14 TONS!!
THANK YOU NUTSONLINE.COM

IT'S OFFICIAL - JERICHO WILL RETURN 2.18.08
Dear Rangers,
We have some exciting news and wanted you to hear it first. Later today we will announce Jericho’s return to CBS’s primetime schedule. Seven new episodes will be broadcast on Tuesdays at 10:00 PM, ET/PT beginning Feb. 12.
We hope you will rally around the new episodes of Jericho with the same passion and volume you displayed this summer to bring the show back. The writers and producers have crafted an exciting second season that picks up immediately following the battle with New Bern, as the town begins the rebuilding process, and along the way discovers why their small community is so important to the newly formed government, and what the true intentions of this new government might be.
In success, there is the potential for more Jericho, but we will need your help to recruit new viewers. For your friends or family who have never seen the show, the entire first season can be seen on CBS.com, or on the recently released Season One DVD set.
On behalf of everyone at CBS, thank you for your continued support of Jericho.
Sincerely,
Nina Tassler
President, CBS Entertainment

*****CBS ANNOUNCEMENT*****
JERICHO SAVED!
June 6, 2007
To the Fans of Jericho:
Wow!
Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard.
As a result, CBS has ordered seven episodes of “Jericho” for mid-season next year. In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more “Jericho,” we will need more viewers.
A loyal and passionate community has clearly formed around the show. But that community needs to grow. It needs to grow on the CBS Television Network, as well as on the many digital platforms where we make the show available.
We will count on you to rally around the show, to recruit new viewers with the same grass-roots energy, intensity and volume you have displayed in recent weeks.
At this time, I cannot tell you the specific date or time period that “Jericho” will return to our schedule. However, in the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences. This includes re-broadcasting “Jericho” on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing the story of Jericho in the digital world until the new episodes return. We will let you know specifics when we have them so you can pass them on.
On behalf of everyone at CBS, thank you for expressing your support of “Jericho” in such an extraordinary manner. Your protest was creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone. You made a difference.
Sincerely,
Nina Tassler
President, CBS Entertainment
P.S. Please stop sending us nuts :)

It really takes guts for anyone to own up to their mistakes. Thank You, CBS, for taking the leap, for listening to Jericho fans everywhere and the entire WORLD - wow. I, for one, can say it's deeply appreciated and look forward to this new relationship between fan, cast/crew & network. History starts now and we are all, leading the way.
No official announcement has been made by CBS as of 2:11am 6/6/07

As of May 16th, 2007, CBS excluded the hit show Jericho from it's fall season lineup and announced the show CANCELLED. Loyal fans everywhere were OUTRAGED!
Fans were encouraged to take a few minutes of their time to show their love and support for this show and it's fantastic crew of actors, actresses, writers, producers, extras - all of them!

The last ordinary day of tv was September 20th, 2006 because of an extraordinary show called Jericho. A 3rd season of Jericho would keep the tv revolution going. Goonies never say die... Go Jericho Go!!!
