Hi, Chris.

Since you have such a huge readership, I thought you might be just the person who can help us.

I am a fan of the CBS show Jericho. If you have not heard, CBS decided to cancel the show and leave us hanging in the lurch as to what happened — as if the tape suddenly broke, no ending… or closure at all. One week before the show, the producers were mentioning how the second season would be great, etc. Then on the 17th, CBS announced that, due to not-so-great ratings, it was canceling the show. (if you want to and have never seen Jericho, check it out at innertube or iTunes) We fans over at the official forums have begun a huge protest; there is a campaign to send CBS email, faxes, letters, and, best of all, PEANUTS to their offices (a reference to a character’s story about WWII).

There are also many YouTube videos going up, some of which are totally the best things I have seen in a long time. There are tons more than what I have listed in my playlist.

Listen, I can go on forever with this story, but it’s probably easier to have you go to the forums and check this out if you think you might want to help us publicize this effort. CBS is our main target of attack, but we need more public knowledge for our online petition (which sits at 53,070 — on Wednesday the 16th at noon, we sat at 5,949 names).

I used to really enjoy watching your show, I know you to be very involved with many things from the twitters you send and your Web site, but if you could see your way to helping us get this news out to the public, that would be so awesome. I am a 44-year-old mom, so don’t think I am some kid with nothing better to do. I am sick and tired of reality TV, as are the many thousands of folks over at the forums and at the many blogs and Web sites set up to save Jericho. We only have until June from what we hear but that is too close. Please help us in this fight, Chris, if you can.

Thanks for your time and for reading this.

So, maybe we take the idea of “TV” online – live or taped?
