Jericho fans rejoice!
Sources tell me CBS has picked the nuclear-disaster drama up for a full season! The order for the back nine episodes is really no surprise, since the Skeet Ulrich-led show is one of just a handful of new fall series which have drawn enough viewers to be considered successful--NBC’s Heroes and ABC’s Ugly Betty and Brothers & Sisters are also doing well.
Last night, Jericho averaged close to 11 million couch potatoes. This pickup comes on the heels of CBS' first cancellation of the season. Ray Liotta’s Smith was officially given the ax late last week.
