Late Friday evening, this was posted on the official ‘Jericho’ message board:

To the fans of Jericho:

We have read your emails over the past few days and have been touched by the depth and passion with which you have expressed your disappointment. Please know that canceling a television series is a very difficult decision. Hundreds of people at the Network, the production company and the incredibly-talented creative team worked very hard to build and serve the community for this show — both on-air and online. It is a show we loved too.

Thank you for supporting Jericho with such passion. 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.

Sincerely,

Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment

While the last sentence is non-committal at best, it is nice to hear some official response to the public outcry.  As SyFy Portal points out, the rally after ‘Farscape’ was cancelled brought about a telemovie to close out the series, and the outcry after ‘Firefly’ was cancelled resulted in the feature film Serenity.  Heck, even the original ‘Star Trek’ was cancelled, and fans demanded that the show return, which it did, to moderate success.
