So, the fans got CBS to bring "Jericho" back from the dead by sending them tens of thousands of pounds of peanuts (a tie-in to the show's plotline) only to find the second season only managing seven episodes.

The Hollywood Reporter says the finale, set to air on Tuesday, will give some kind of closure to fans, but I highly doubt it will do the show justice. I actually found some enjoyment in the first season when I reviewed the DVD, but with the show averaging about a 1.9 rating among adults 18 to 49 there is no way they can keep it on air.

The ending that will air Tuesday night reportedly doesn't entirely slam the door on the series, but is different than the cliffhanger version, sources told The Hollywood Reporter. It also doesn't preclude the possibility of "Jericho" finding a second life on cable, though the economics of the production will likely prevent a continuation of the show unless Sci-Fi steps in, which I don't anticipate.

I guess the fans that got the show back on the air forgot to tell people they knew to watch it as well.
