After the Skeet Ulrich-led series was cut from CBS’ roster, disgruntled fans bombarded the network with 50,000 pounds of peanuts in hopes of saving the post-apocalyptic drama from cancellation.

The robust fan response impressed network heads, and the show was picked up for a seven-episode second season.



Unfortunately, ratings remained low and the series was not picked up for Season 3.

However, "Jericho" still goes down in TV history as having one of the biggest and most talked about Save Our Show campaigns of all time.
