Jericho not tumbling down

It appears that the fan assault on CBS for canceling the post-apocalyptic drama, "Jericho" has given the show a brief reprieve.

In the last episode, as a war between survivors broke out and their enemy offered a compromise that would have left our heroes in an untenable position, Jake (played by Skeet Ulrich) declared "Nuts to you!"

The fans latched onto this statement upon hearing of the program's demise, and started a campaign of sending nuts to CBS headquarters, to protest. After receiving 50,000 lbs. of nuts, CBS has offered to film a few more shows to wrap up the storylines.

The nuts are being shipped to our troops in Iraq.

The best headline has to be from Television Without Pity

The View Bids Adieu

So Rosie isn't going to stay for the last couple of weeks of her contract. Her and Elizabeth had a big fight and Rosie said screw it, I'm outta here NOW.

I am a stay-at-home mom, and I watch The View almost every day. I was delighted when Rosie shook things up and brought us political discussion from an all-women panel. I fear that is gone for good now, and it saddens me. I was appalled when John Gibson of Fox News said that the audience of The View was too weak minded to understand they were being manipulated by Rosie’s rants. I am not weak-minded. I didn’t agree with everything she said, and if I questioned her opinions (which we are all entitled to) I looked up information to verify her claims. What seems to be lost in the heat of debate, is not just what she said, but that she was saying it. She brought political debate into the living room in a way most politicians have been afraid to. Whether people agreed or not, the issues she brought up became topics of discussion, and she should be hailed for that. I will miss her.
