Just a reminder that the fourth Blackjack Fairgrounds Jericho Blog Carnival posts tomorrow afternoon right here on Remote Access.
There’s still time to submit your article or blog post to the carnival: Use the carnival submission form to submit. You can find past posts and future hosts on our blog carnival index page.
We’ll have plenty to talk about; Bonnie’s death (no spoiler alert; I mean, if you didn’t know by this point, why are you even reading this?), John Smith’s revelations; Heather joining the people in the know; Mimi’s discovery of Goetz’s embezzlement.
And we’ll have kystorms’ guest post tomorrow morning as well.
To tide you over, however, here’s a few Jericho-related tidbits I’ve been saving up but haven’t had time lately to post:
• Jericho Monster posted an Open Letter To Karim Zreik back on Feb. 20, urging a bigger part in the show for “TownJennie” (Jennie Sword, a regular “extra” in Season 1) should there be a Season 3. In his Jeritopia chat, Zreik suggested that maybe it would be a good contest to have the fans write TownJennie’s story for Season 3. Mr. Zreik, I have a feeling that certain fans would be more than happy (and able!) to take you up on that offer.
• Shelby at Jericho4Kids recently interviewed Samuel Hawkins, 11-year-old Sterling Ardrey. This interview is TCFW (too cute for words). Their exchanges on favorite months and his feelings about his TV dad are positively adorable.
• Jericho Monster, again, had an interesting interview with Bjo Trimble last month. I had no idea who this woman was — she helped lead the fan effort that brough the original Star Trek back from cancellation back in the day. And we all know how that turned out in the long run, eh? Interesting interview with a fascinating woman who has a lot to say that Jericho fans could use.
• From Jericho-Kansas, Inc., here’s a video of a message Carol Barbee had for the fans at Wondercon. JKI tells us that, “After thanking the fans on behalf of Dan Shotz (Co-Executive Producer), Karim Zreik(Co-Executive Producer), the writers, and herself, Carol goes on to say there are many ways (avenues) for the Jericho story and that she believes they’ll be more episodes.” Oh, really? Do tell!
• JerichoNet has been listing info on and links to all the advertisers who buy time on Jericho. Check ‘em out, send some e-mails to them to let them know it means something to you that they’re financially supporting the show you love. Money talks. Even if ratings aren’t as high as a network would like, if advertisers are specifically seeking out a show to buy time on, it could make the network brass think twice. It certainly won’t hurt!
• Silicon Alley Insider says that based on data from December, even though ABC had the most videos watched (47.3 million), CBS (33.8 million) had by FAR the most minutes watched (CBS had 104 million minutes, ABC just 28 million). (By the by, NBC had 25.3 million vids for 62 million minutes and Fox had 1.4 million for 2 million minutes.) What does that mean? No idea for sure, but an educated guess would be that folks who watch vids on other networks aren’t watching the whole thing. ABC might have tons of people tuning in to watch specific performances on Dancing With the Stars, maybe, but not sticking around to watch the entire ep. We know that tons of folks watch Jericho solely online. And those folks tend to stick around for the full 42 or so minutes. (NBC probably does as well as it does because of The Office fans checking in online for both the shows and the extra scenes posted the following day.) Something weird happens every time I hyperlink to the article, so I can’t do that. However, if you Google: “silicon alley insider jericho” just choose the article headlined: CBS: “Jericho” Is A Sort-Of Web Hit – Silicon Alley.
