Watching Jericho

Carol Barbee, Executive Producer of Jericho, was interviewed by S2DRadio.com on Tuesday, February 27, where they discussed everything under the sun in regards to Jericho.

One of the first things that they discuss is coming back from the must-discussed hiatus and how they are still trying to figure out exactly how strong they came back, because of the numbers-skewing American Idol being against the show since they’ve come back from hiatus. While they were second in ratings with the first full episode, they are looking at changing their schedule for next year to go to a full 22 episodes starting in January. While nothing official has been said about Jericho getting a second season from CBS, this comment for the changes in scheduling for next year truly makes me happy.

Also discussed is the impact of the Jericho web presence provided by CBS, from the web-episodes of Countdown to the Wiki. The push from their web presence is something that I think has carried the show through the hiatus, and I’m sure it will also help to pull them through the summer break.

There are so many others that they discuss, including the character of Gray Anderson and new-to-us sections of Jericho that will be coming around in upcoming episodes.

On a somewhat of an aside, I will be interviewed by Shaun over at Subject 2 Discussion on Tuesday, March 6 to discuss the show and television. Please feel free to head on over there at 6pm Pacific Time (the show has been moved from 7pm PT), which for us east-coasters means 9pm on Tuesday.

Listen to the whole interview here, on February 27.
