Whats everyone think so far? Only seen episode 1, but its not bad. :)

I know what you are on about and its a shame everyone gonna see it and its not gonna get watched by anyone thus cancellation again.

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 :(

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
