Couple things they need to fix with Jericho, which I gave a B for the its first season.
1. No more New Bern. That clash was bad to begin with.
2. Much more of the conspiracy. Don't need to give away any major secrets, but I get the feeling the writers started something they had no plans on how to end.
3. If it gets good ratings and is picked up; set an end date like Lost, so we know we'll get some final answers.
4. Get rid of the bald actor who plays the bad guy in the conspiracy. That guy has played every bad guy on the movies and TV and is just plain boring. Forget his name, but forget about him.
5. There's something wrong with the show's physical set; specifically the town center. It just looks so damn fake. I can just picture it on some sound stage in LA.
6. Music and score. Need a little tweaking.
7. Needs to be shot more like "24" "Heroes" or "Lost." It still has this procedural, college type home movie vibe going on.

that might be tough since you need him for your #2 suggestion....I guess they could kill him and find out the conspiracy goes above him...

They haven't even scratched the surface of the conspiracy. I think we are all set with diving into it. X-Files got bad in the final two seasons.

I said IF it gets picked up...meaning more than 7 episodes. More seasons; etc.

Not tough at all. You could chaulk him up to being a Red Herring.

I just started watching this on NBC.com. I'm really loving it so far.

I missed the boat I guess. I watched the first episode and it looked almost identical in setup, shooting quality, and acting (and somewhat in theme, too) to The Stand miniseries that came out around when George's daddy was president.

I watched about the first half of the season last year, but by the time it came back from the long ass break from Thanksgiving to roughly Valentine's Day, I had moved on and really didn't care that much anymore.
Still it was decent and it was nice to see the fans get a bit of a say in bringing it back for a bit. Better than a lot of what I've seen pop up so far this season.

It didn't help that they put it head to head against American Idol either.

What the fuck is American Idol?
A bad show that a ton of people watch, but shouldn't.
