CBS is ordering seven new episodes of Jericho after a massive backlash from the show’s fans. “Wow!” said Nina Tassler, the president of CBS Entertainment in a message board post to Jericho fans. “Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard.” So CBS is ordering seven more episodes for mid-season of next year. “However, in the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences,” writes Tassler, which includes rebroadcasting the show this summer.
