LOS ANGELES - "Jericho," the post-apocalyptic CBS drama whose devoted fans rallied to save it from cancellation, has met its end.
The show failed to increase its audience and will air its final episode Tuesday, the network said Friday.
"Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this program; we simply wish there were more," CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said in a statement. "We have no regrets bringing the show back for a second try."
"Jericho," which stars Skeet Ulrich, was canceled last May, triggering a fan protest that deluged the network with about 40,000 pounds of peanuts — a tribute to the defiant "Nuts!" line uttered by Ulrich's character in the first-season finale.
CBS relented and ordered seven new episodes, which started airing in February.
Networks rarely reverse a show's cancellation, but CBS has proven its flexibility at least once before. In 1983, after "Cagney & Lacey" was canceled and the network was bombarded with protests, the police drama was brought back in 1984 — and ran successfully until 1988.
The network also likely took into consideration the dent a long hiatus put in the show's viewership.
Last fall, "Jericho" was averaging 10.5 million viewers. When it returned in the spring, it drew about 8.1 million, about a 23 percent decline from the first half of the season. It's been averaging about 6 million viewers in its current run.

that last episode sucked, but they had no money to film the 7 additional epi's this season, so jericho was never really given a fighting chance. shitty time slot too. wonder if it will get picked up by sci fi channel

it makes me sad that american idol, and do you know the lyrics do good, and this interesting, challanging shows does bad in the ratings. Americans are either lazy or stupid. I can't decided...

Just finished watching this on Netflix - highly recommend it if you haven't watched it - kinda nice quick series to watch if you're between shows that have longer runs...
