Popular post-apocalyptic mystery drama Jericho reached its first season finale on the Hallmark channel this week. And left it on a cliffhanger to rival Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid!Which would have made the absence of a second season all the more galling - much like Invasion.
Earlier this year fans around the globe were shocked and saddened to learn that CBS had pulled the plug on the series, but Jericho quickly earned itself a second lease of life - a seven episode new series. Persistent campaigning and pressure from its supporters gave the studio cause to rethink Jericho's premature cancellation.
So how come the same isn't working for The Dresden Files? It's way past the original deadline for Sci-Fi to declare whether it is renewing the series or not and still no news. It's getting to the stage now where any news would be welcome (although 'renewal' is really the phrase fans are hoping to hear).
Man, I wish I had a clue what Ssci-Fi was up to! The Dresden Fiels had good ratings (comparable to, and sometimes better than, BSG), it had a strong female viewership, and has strong fan support even though there have been no reruns. What gives?? Anyway, our campaign to save the show has an additional website now. It's http://dresdencity.org
