Netflix is obviously liking the publicity it is getting for resurrecting sitcom "Arrested Development" that it apparently has been looking into other cancelled shows of recent years to potentially revive on the streaming and disc service.

TV Guide Magazine confirms that Netflix has approached CBS about reviving cult fave "Jericho" and the network is considering it. Repeats of the series remain popular on Netflix's on-demand service even four years after the show's cancellation.

Launched in 2006, the original drama followed the residents of a small Kansas town in the wake of a nuclear attack. The show ran for two seasons.

The big challenge is making the project financially viable for both Netflix and CBS. Attempts were made to revive "Jericho" through Comcast (ala "Friday Night Lights") but those didn't pan out.

Oh hey I remember seeing that while browsing Netflix at my friends house

looked kind of interesting

if they actually do revive it I might start watching it

I liked Jericho. I would definitely watch it if it returned.

I loved Jericho! I wasn't quite as impressed with the second season. Some interesting subplots were just dropped with no explanation, and the whole thing had the appearance of being done with a reduced budget. The finale was pretty good, though.

if they want to revive a dead tv show they should start with firefly

or SGU

Well they only got 7 episodes for the second season... If they suspected they weren't going to make it the whole season then they probably just decided to focus on the main story line.

 

BTW I would love to see Jericho come back. I actually just watched it on Netflix and liked it a lot.

Me too! Great show with a cool plot, but ya the second season was definitely rushed. If they bring it back I'll have to join netflix again.
