I’m sorry to say that CBS has officially cancelled Ashley Scott’s series ‘Jericho’. CBS president Nina Tassler wrote to all ‘Jericho’ fans on the official message board at the CBS website. She had this to say:
We have read your emails over the past few days and have been touched by the depth and passion with which you have expressed your disappointment. Please know that canceling a television series is a very difficult decision. Hundreds of people at the Network, the production company and the incredibly-talented creative team worked very hard to build and serve the community for this show — both on-air and online. It is a show we loved too.
Thank you for supporting Jericho with such passion. We truly appreciate the commitment you made to the series and we are humbled by your disappointment. In the coming weeks, we hope to develop a way to provide closure to the compelling drama that was the Jericho story.
Sincerely,
Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment
Oh no! That’s a real shame. This is the only show I make a dedicated effort to watch anymore (asides from Supernatural of which we’re still only in S1 in New Zealand.) Why cancel it? I thought it would be doing well. It’s been refreshing to watch something different from the usual hodge-podge we get over here.

I’m not sure why they cancelled it, but most likely it’s not doing great in the ratings. It really sucks when they cancel a good show just because of the ratings.
