Jericho

Summary:
Network: CBS
Release: Fall 2006
This drama is about a small town in Kansas that is struggling to deal with life after a string of nuclear attacks destroys nearly all of America's big cities.

Cast and Crew:
Coppola was on NCIS, Knudsen was on Saw II and the gorgeous Ashley Scott was on Birds of Prey. Mcraney was on Deadwood, James was in Sahara, Gaston was in Prison Break, Reed was on the cancelled Pepper Dennis, and Ulrich was last on the miniseries Into the West.

Jon Turteltaub, Karim Zreik and Stephen Chbosky are behind this project.

Our Take:
We don't see the cast as anything special. We dont' see the production team as anything special. And we don't think this pilot will be anything special. That being said, this is one project on CBS that actually has a chance of making into the tight Fall lineup. There is a decent amount of buzz around this project so we could be very well wrong. Especially since we have not seen the pilot episode. Turteltaub was the director and producer of Nicholas Cage's "National Treasure" and Chbosky was a writer for the flim version of "Rent". Nothing to be too excited about there. The concept however, is something to be excited about. It is a cool idea, and we are finally starting to see sience fiction make it into mainstream television. We like that. We say this pilot will probably debut in mid-season for CBS if it doesn't make it for Fall.
