Carol Barbee, executive producer of CBS' post-apocalyptic series Jericho, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming seven-episode second season will tell a complete story--but that producers shot two endings in case the show is picked up for a third season.

"We don't end the show," Barbee said in an interview. "What we do, we did two endings. We shot two endings. And one of them basically just lets you know that everybody is OK." She added: "The other ending shows you exactly where we're going to go for the third season. ... I wouldn't call it a cliffhanger as much as I would say you say, 'Oh, OK, now I know where we're going to go.' But if there's not going to be a third season, the other one puts sort of a nice emotionally satisfying point to it."

Jericho returns next month with an episode that picks up the story from the season-one cliffhanger, in which the townspeople of the small Kansas hamlet--led by Skeet Ulrich, Ashley Scott and Lennie James--were preparing to go to war with neighboring New Bern. Barbee offered a few spoilers for the first episodes of the new season, "Reconstruction, Condor" and "Jennings & Rall."

"We get into Jericho and reconstruction has begun," Barbee said. "The Cheyenne government is in town. They're rebuilding. People are getting jobs, people are getting cell phones, life is coming back to Jericho. But it's changed, because now there's this government, Cheyenne, and they have contractors who are working for them named Jennings & Rall, and ... this company ... [has] set up a storefront on Main Street. And they're going to be a big presence in our lives for the next season."

Barbee said that the new season will take the show into new territory thematically. "The headline is [that] the first season was about surviving the nuclear attack and saving the town," she said. "The second season is about saving the country and our way of life, our system of government. And then the natural progression is to have that be save the world for the third season."

Was the return of CBS' "Jericho" a success in the ratings? Click to find out.

"Jericho" opened its second season over 4 million viewers below its series premiere in September 2006. The show also did worse than the previous regular timeslot occupant "Cane" which averaged 8.93 million viewers in the timeslot last fall. Could "Jericho" have done better in an earlier timeslot?

Meanwhile, repeats of scripted dramas continue to outperform reality shows - NCIS on CBS and "Law & Order: SVU" scored much superior figures than the rest of their networks' line-ups. The latter also managed to beat an all-new episode of "Boston Legal" on ABC.

"American Idol" has recovered with a 2-hour Hollywood episode. The show however still failed to break the 30 million mark.

ABC:

8:00pm Just For Laughs (4.95 million)

9:00pm According to Jim (4.92 million)

9:30pm Carpoolers (3.85 million)

10:00pm Boston Legal (7.23 million)

CBS:

8:00pm NCIS ® (11.72 million)

9:00pm Big Brother 9 (7.33 million)

10:00pm Jericho (7.15 million)

NBC:

8:00pm Biggest Loser (7.47 million)

10:00pm Law & Order: SVU ® (8.34 million)

Fox:

8:00pm American Idol (29.87 million)

CW:

8:00pm Reaper ® (1.98 million)

9:00pm One Tree Hill (3.21 million)

Awww Nuts :(
