After the saddening announcement that Jericho would not be renewed, CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler said that there might be some closure offered. Ultimately, its puzzling how the cliffhanger Jericho got cancelled, and the short lifespan of many a show on CBS, many culled after a few episodes even.

Fans of Jericho have bandied together and started a unique campaign to bring attention to the show’s cancellation. When character Jake Green, played by Skeet Ulrich, said “Nuts” to a rival town’s offer of surrender (borrowed from US general Anthony C. McAuliffe response to German forces in World War II) in the series finale, fans took it to heart. Jericho lovers are rallying together to send as many nuts to CBS’s corporate offices as possible. NutsOnline.com is hosting the “Nuts to CBS” effort, allowing people to purchase peanuts at a steep discount for the cause. The result is literally truckloads of peanuts – 5,690 pounds, according to the site – are en route or already delivered to Tessler or Kelly Kahl, senior vice president of programming and planning at the network.
