Of course, the fact that CBS put the show on hiatus during the Christmas holidays didn’t help much. But rabid fans weren’t going to just let “Jericho” go peacefully. They sent over 40,000 pounds of nuts to CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler’s door. The nuts were a tribute to the line “Nuts” uttered by lead character Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich) in the season finale. After the overwhelming response from fans, CBS decided to give the show a second, shorter … Continue reading →
