The Peanut Butter Campaign

Alright, ye socks who know me well (or, have been reading my posts here for awhile) are aware that the dastardly fiends at CBS programming canceled one of my favorite TV shows AGAIN this year: JERICHO.

The last time they did it, a bunch of us fans got together and inundated them with tons and tons of peanuts. The ploy worked, and they gave us a second season.

I don't think the same tactic will work this go round.

But, that isn't stopping the good fans of Jericho from banding together to do some real good. They've put out the all call for PEANUT BUTTER this time, and are asking NOT to send it to CBS.

Instead, they're asking everyone to send it to the Kansas Food Bank to help out those in need, especially as a result of all the recent nasty weather. (Remember, Kansas is where JERICHO was set.)

Anyway, even if you're not a fan of the series, it is still a worthwhile endeavor, and I'd encourage you to join us. The easiest way is to send a jar via amazon.com's link below.

CBS?! Nuts!

I am so mad at the CBS television network right now, I could just spit nails.

It seems they have once again decided not to renew the greatest drama on American TV: Jericho.

Ye socks may be familiar with the Nuts Campaign launched against the network during the last go 'round. They were inundated by fans of the series. And, I hope it happens again.

The sad fact is that television has become even more of a wasteland than usual over the last few years. There is a serious lack of good programming. And, Jericho was one of only a handful of bright spots left for those of us who demand some intellectual stimulation when we turn on the boob-tube. Perhaps, that is just too high an expectation nowadays.

If ye must vent your frustration at CBS, yours truly will not discourage you. But, I am a proponent of taking positive action. That's why I'm calling on all fans of the show to write a letter of encouragement to:

Carol Barbee, Executive Producer of Jericho

c/o CBS/Paramount

4024 Radford Avenue

Studio City, CA 91604-2190

Let her know that we appreciate not only her efforts on the show, but also the entire cast and crew. And, encourage her to shop the series to a network that will appreciate its 6 million die-hard fans. I hear the USA Network (appropriately enough) is considering it . . . I'll become their number one viewer if they do!

Save Jericho!!

Stormy weather

This picture really has nothing to do with my post today, other than it makes me wonder if our local weather prognosticators drink their own bath water, too . . .

They had all of MetroOrlando in an uproar yesterday, warning everybody to get home by 6pm to batten down the hatches.

Apparently, we were in the cross hairs of two colliding air masses, the type that spawn the apocalypse.

Fire up your weather radios!

Designate a safe room!

Notify your next of kin!

And, of course, stay tuned to (FILL IN THE BLANK WITH YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL NEWS TEAM)!

All for naught.

I guess there was a twister over by the space center. But, that's 45 miles away on the coast.

All we got around these parts was a little rain. And, it was actually much-needed, says my brown lawn.

Oh, well, better safe than sorry, as the cliche goes.

But, someone should tell these people the story about the boy who cried wolf.

Thankfully, I had the season premieres of Big Brother and Jericho to entertain me on an otherwise dull evening . . .
