The first hour of "Idol" delivered a 16.6/24 for FOX at 8 p.m. The return of "Jericho" didn't do very big business for CBS, scoring a 5.7/9. "Friday Night Lights," 3.7/6, put NBC in third. ABC came in fourth with "George Lopez" and "The Knights of Prosperity," while The CW's "Beauty and the Geek" reunion show drew a 1.9/3.
It looks like an uphill battle for Jerico and the others going up against Idol...although I have never actual met anyone who watches that show.
This show does seem to be improving, we are seeing more of the outside world and what is happening. Hope it continues!
"One thing we knew from the beginning is we didn't want to frustrate the audience by not paying off mysteries, by not answering questions, because we know."
Those words were offered by "Jericho" executive producer Stephen Chbosky, whose colleague Carol Barbee was able to give a specific timetable for certain reveals including whatever happened to those pesky missiles that were launched into the sky many episodes ago.
"You find out certain things in 18... You also hear a little something in 15, which is the one after this. We haven't forgotten them. They're out there."
Barbee also promised that viewers are on the verge of discovering who exactly began the nuclear conflict that left our Kansas-based heroes in prairie isolation.
"I think you'll be surprised by who did it," Barbee said. We didn't want to do the same-old, same-old... It's a many-faceted group that is involved.
Perhaps Chubby and Barbie should have addressed their plan to reduce all that soap opera fodder filling the Jerico scripts. Lastly, I admit it...I detonated the nukes. I was having a bad day at the office.
He defects from the group and hide
This is what bugs me. From his comments you get the impression he's "hiding", but then he comments later that he's exactly where he was supposed to be at the assigned rally point (and the boss is just a few hours away).
