JERICHO - Official Thread
CBS ^ | Wednesday, September 20, 2006 | Momaw Nadon

Posted on 09/20/2006 4:51:30 PM PDT by Momaw Nadon


Things are quiet and peaceful in small-town Jericho, Kansas, but when a baffling explosion occurs in the distance, Jericho's residents are plunged into social, psychological and physical chaos. No one knows what to think, and fear of the unknown takes over the town, especially because its isolation cuts it off from outside help. When nearly everything they know seems gone, will the residents of JERICHO band together to face their unfamiliar and mysterious new world?

Are there mountains in Kansas?

Anyway ... I predict this will be simply another vehicle for the usual anti-American, anti-Christian propagandists.

I suspect reality will be somewhere between Pournelle's "Lucifer's Hammer" and "The Postman." NO WAY Hollywood would let stuff like that out this close to an election without the RATs screaming holy heck.

Gerald McRaney is in it, so I don't think it'll be typical left wing Hollywood view of fly-over country.

Are you watching it now?

How about a sneak preview for those of us still at work in the Pacific Time Zone.

So far, it is worth your while. Wow, at about 37 minutes in ... there's a surprise! Watch for the reaction after the group plays the tape. Lots of plot twists.

And the ex-cop from St. Louis seems to have his stuff together.

If you saw "The Day After," you'd be on familiar territory.

Most TV production today is shot in British Columbia, just outside of Vancouver.

After viewing "The Day After", I concluded that once the bomb goes off we will be inundated by bad acting.

LOL ... "is anybody out there ... anyone at alllll."

It bogged down and got a little kumbayah at :50 but that last bit sure upped the stakes. Without spoiling it, the question left for next week is "what was that all over the road?"

Ah.

We simply must get production back to L.A. so everywhere looks like Southern California!

Dead birds...
It's like a "LOST" program too...

I don't know if I can watch another night of CBS ??? Their lineup last night was pretty good.
NCIS, The Unit and then "SMITH"... I'm NOT happy about enjoying their entertainment shows, just on general I hate THEM principles...

Is there any part of the United States that is prepared for the realities of nuclear warfare?

As Katrina proved, prepared individual Americans are in the best position to ensure their own survival.

Reliance on any level of government to save us is not an option.
