Finally a show that makes Americans look good instead of that sea of other shows starring us or portraying us as backstabbing, over-conforming, know-nothings. T&A or violence is not what this show was about and that's one reason why it got cancelled(the people that kept "baywatch" going for 10 seasons weren't watching), the other reason is there is a big anti-american bandwagon full of people that don't want to see a show about Americans pulling together and helping each other during a major crisis. Whoever cast this show deserves some kind of academy award, with everyone doing their best especially Gerald Mcraney, Denny Smith, and Skeet Uhlrich (no more the pretty boy Brad Pitt/keanau Reeves type non-actor he used to be). I'm surprised more women didn't take to this show with all the soapy drama going on in it. Jericho left a big impression on me and I'm looking forward to a movie or miniseries in the near future.
The writers bob and weave during the first season, but their true intentions come out during the second. The series is kinda like 24, but with an all-American cast of villains. Conservatives, Karl Rove, Halliburton and Blackwater - all are caricatured. If you want to see a live action version of the conspiracies detailed in Mother Jones, the Nation and In These Times, this is your mini-series.
