When CBS canceled Jericho in May of last year, angry fans sent the network 40,000 pounds of nuts (after the main character in the show, who uses the term “nuts!” frequently). The nut campaign originated from Shaun Daily of BlogTalkRadio.com. “I meant for people to send the little packets of peanuts that they have on the airlines,” he said, “but then it just blew up.” So tonight, the show is back from the dead. “‘Jericho’ was on the crest of what the Internet has come to show us is that you have an audience, the use of viral campaigns and how effective they are,” says CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler. Wanna catch up on the show before tonight’s return? CBS.com is streaming all of season one’s episodes here.
