I don't know what to say: the CBS television network announced today that it is bowing to the incessant fan protest and ordering at least a partial second season of the critically hailed television series "Jericho."While we are brooding about the end to the only other really great show to be canceled this season ("Studio 60"), we are heartened by the somewhat miraculous occurrence that a big, dumb television network like CBS would be able to take a step back and see what it had in "Jericho" -- and reverse its decision.
The same thing happened to the original "Star Trek" television series in 1968, and many other television programs have been similarly saved from the axe by a passionate fan base, but I seriously never thought we would see "Jericho" again.
So, it is with a sincere humility that I thank CBS for realizing that art is sometimes more important than commerce -- and that, believe it or not, it is possible for the two to co-exist.
