Jericho fans say NUTS!!! to CBS

[qman]

UPDATE:

another 2 tons have been just shipped, they should arrive tomorrow sometime

here are some little updates from the owner of the online store.

4:15 PM EDT - NYC bombardment, day 3!!!! 4,000 pounds going to NYC. Not sure where the "various media outlet" crusade is, but the number of pounds is sky rocketing...Maybe send some Jericho love to LA!!!

3:42 PM EDT - Unbelievable...I write back to 1 email and 10 come in...No joke...CBS, this is amazing. FYI, on our own we sent packages to The Late Show with David Letterman, The Howard Stern Show, and CBS Evening News yesterday. Gosh, consensus is 20 to 1 to blitz NYC. Maybe we send 4,000 to NYC and send the balance to various other outlets and/or LA.

3:22 PM EDT - Wow, the emails continue to pour in. From every part of the US and Canada and now we can add England, Malaysia, Poland, and, shoot, forgot some others, but you get the point...Fans are overwhelmingly in favor of shipping a huge quantity to NYC again for maximum exposure. We are beginning to get lots of calls and email from the media, so I think this might be the way to go. We can then make new decisions about the balance of nuts, which looks to be ever increasing. I repeat, holy macadamia nut!!! 4200 pounds or so!!!

im only giving these updates just incase people dont check up regularly, i will stop if people wish it.

Keep the updates coming!

Just found this article and there's already been a response form CBS.

Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment, released a statement to Jericho fans that seems to hint that there could be a future for Jericho, albeit a short one.

"Thank you for supporting Jericho with such passion," her statement read. "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."

What the network is planning for that "closure" is not known.

looks like with the 2 tons that went out tonight, they are also sending out 200 pounds to the LA office

5:00 PM EDT - We are totally scrambling here, but we will get the 2 shipments out- 4,000 pounds to NYC (ups tracking number 1Z686E020398376039) and 200 pounds to LA (ups tracking number 1Z686E020191467411). (Ha, not to mention our normal business :-). Too early to track now, but later on tonight! Overnighting the 200 pounds to LA was costly, and we didn't have time to explore a local solution, so we'll just deduct the extra amount from the surplus. Many contributors said this was ok. We will get a nicely discounted rate from UPS! And tomorrow will be a new day of maybe different tactics!!!
