TV meme: day 9

Day 09 - A show you thought you wouldn't like but ended up loving
Jericho

Jericho was on CBS from 2006-2007, was canceled, and after a big fan campaign was brought back for a tiny second season for a couple months in early 2008, before being canceled again.

I remember when freakykat (my roomie at the time) and I first saw the previews for that show, I don't think either of us thought we'd much like it. It looked so bleak and depressing. I couldn't fathom why anyone would want to watch a show about the apocalypse. (I have also not seen 2012 and have no desire to, lol.) Of course, it wasn't quite the apocalypse. It was a small town in the aftermath of nuclear attack. Still...

But for whatever reason we watched the first one, and right away we were addicted. It was a really compelling show! Writing was excellent. Starred Skeet Ulrich, Gerald McRaney, and a fairly big and awesome ensemble cast.

I actually bought used copies of the DVDs for Kat. Hmm. They're already used. I might as well watch them before I give them to her, lol :)

Editing to add this cool music video I found that someone made to get people excited for the second season.

I have actually seen parts of this show and enjoyed them but never really got into it. Of course that was a period of time where I wasn't into any TV.
