Watching Jericho

SyFy Portal is reporting that Jericho dipped a little in ratings last week, though it has stayed relatively steady. What caused the dip in ratings? That old nemesis, American Idol, and their charity show.

“Jericho” on CBS also stayed steady, posting a 5.0/9, slightly down from the 5.2/8 it earled last week. Some of that drop was because of its competition, however, as Fox was broadcasting an “American Idol” telethon that raised more than $30 million, instead of its usual “Bones.” That telethon earned a 13.9/23 for Fox.

I’m hoping that whenever word does come down that CBS has renewed Jericho for its second season, they move it far, far away from American Idol. All of the shows’ rating woes seem to stem from something to do with it.
