No, I am saying you have the right to ignore Jericho by changing channels. If you do not want to see it come back you do not have to support our efforts with CBS either. You do not have the right to criticize our efforts for attempting to regain what we had.
I am sure you and the 200+ million TV viewers you claim support your opinion watch a lot of TV that I and my friends wouldn't waste our power on. For most of my friends we seldom turn the TV on because we have no interest in the current programming being offered. I and probably most of my friends have never made any efforts to be public about our views when it comes to TV. I know none of us have written into any site to tell others they are wrong for liking a show, even though that is exactly what we think! I and the 86,000 who have put our names on a petition found Jericho a refreshing change and are willing to fight for it. Is the replacement show offered by CBS something you have seen and liked?
With so many specialty channels around surely it is not unreasonable that one of them would be interested in picking Jericho up. As I understand it, the only way this could even be an option is if CBS released the rights. They have made no indication they are looking at this. Once again, if Jericho was on a specialty channel, you could turn to whatever you do like or not buy that channel at all.
As a final comment, one of the people who has viewed the show and liked it was not a friend, but a co-worker. We have nothing in common, not even a liking for the same TV shows. We only work in the same department, but he and his wife loved the show. They didn't know it existed. Is it possible that just maybe some of the 200+ million viewers didn't know about Jericho, and if they saw it might actually like it? You are making a common mistake by assuming that everyone agrees with you. I at least know what the support base was and when you consider all the choices we have for entertainment, it is a healthy number. I am sure there are lots of entertainment providers that would see 8 million viewers as a big success!
