Watching Jericho

Stephen Battaglio over at TVGuide.com has a great interview with Skeet Ulrich, talking about how surprised he was at the fan response to the cancellation of Jericho, prompting CBS to renew the series for out “mini-season”.

TVGuide.com: Which was inspired by the line in the season finale in which you say “nuts” to New Bern’s demands that Jericho give up in the war for food.
Ulrich: Which to me is just bizarre because that line was the toughest one I had to deliver all season. It’s such a non sequitur. To see it turn into this rallying cry of petitioning and fighting for the show is really interesting. It was insane following it and then for it to have an effect.

TVGuide.com: Were you reading any of the fan reaction online?
Ulrich: I was hearing most of it word of mouth, but I would check in periodically and see what was going on on the message boards. I saw the cast start thanking everybody and that’s when I jumped in. I don’t know how to describe it all. I find myself giggling alone in corners every once and a while.

I adore the idea of Skeet, off in some corner, giggling over the response that his show garnered.
