"Do you think this is all a corporate plot? If so, does that make sense or make your head hurt? Or do you think nutjob elements of the government found this contingency plan and decided to play it out? And why did Bonnie have to die -why couldn't it have been Emily?"
"However, as we begin to turn our attention to this year's upfront market, the question we find ourselves asking is, Do TV ratings still stand up as a reliable and usable measure that advertisers, agencies and broadcasters need to make the right investment decisions? In a multiplatform, digital media world where engagement is as important as headcount, it's time to think about a different currency.
This is why we developed the Content Power Rating. This is the first and most comprehensive survey of its kind that ranks network and cable programs size across broadcast TV, web, online video and mobile; its value in terms of PR and word-of-mouth buzz; and audience appeal. The purpose of this report is to provide an independent assessment of a TV program's true commercial value and footprint. Content Power Ratings is a currency to value TV shows for networks, producers, advertisers and sponsors."
Charlene is also known as Briarpatch. She can always be found working for Jericho and helping others. She's active on the boards and active in promoting. Charlene is an interesting person and that will come out in this interview.
1. What is it about Jericho that has made you a fan?
This particular topic has been of interest to me for many years. I have read all the post-apocryphal novels out there and that whole scenario fascinates me. When I first saw the promos with the mushroom cloud in the distance, I was hooked.
One of my interests in real life is preparedness (aka survivalism). Unfortunately, that word brings a mental picture of a militia group shooting at everything in sight from their mountain fortress. My interest is more in the area of making my family safe in case of a disaster. We are trying to become as self sufficient on our little farm as is possible to be. We have our own rainwater collection system, heat with a woodstove, and have some solar power. We are working toward getting totally off grid in the near future. After Katrina we had the opportunity for a very realistic test of our preparations and found that we fared quite well. We also found some deficiencies in our plan and have worked to tweak our plans to do better next time. We believe we would do better than most if a situation such as in Jericho were to actually happen in America.
2. Who is your favorite character and why?
Robert Hawkins intrigues me. I love spy stories and espionage, so I am most interested in the story behind how this event happened. His undercover operation involved years of his life, including a long stretch in prison. And this was necessary to gain trust and get inside an organization that was about to commit the crime of the century. What kind of man does that take? I can’t wait to see the new episodes to see how he escapes the approaching army of the rogue government.
3. If I had never watched Jericho what would you say to urge me to watch?
If you are tired of reality television and inane sitcoms, here is something totally different that might cause your brain to come out of cryonic storage. Stimulate your thought processes with something challenging and introduce your kids to intelligent TV.
4. Would you join a Jericho Fan Club? Why or why not?
I think the answer to this is …depends on what is offered. I do participate in a fan club of sorts that is for a series of books by a favorite author. This group actually schedules face-to-face meetings so this would be very different from a mostly online fan club likely for Jericho. But I might, if the Fan Club offered me something I wanted.
5. What would you like to see a Fan Club do whether you would join or not?
I have heard some terrific ideas from various fans of Jericho. Online chats with the cast sounds good to me. I think I might be more interested in chatting with the writing team myself. I would like to know where their ideas came from and their thought processes for reaching the conclusions they reached.
6. Anything else you'd like to add about yourself or Jericho can go here.
I would like to say that I have had some really wonderful experiences while participating with various groups online. The experience working with the Jericho fans to save the show has been so very inspiring. I am an old political activist and I have felt the satisfaction of actually accomplishing goals with the help of other believers. This experience of going up against a giant corporation, fighting the fight even against overwhelming odds, and then WINNING has been a major high point for me. I say, Jericho Fans ROCK and I am proud to be among them.
Have you ever thought about what you would do if Jericho was your town? Would you be prepared? What if a town like New Bern came to take what little your family had? How would you survive? What if each of us and our families were prepared? Would there be a need for others to steal from you?
Tomorrow: A special interview with Rick Cox. Don't miss it.
It was truly amazing to watch Jericho tonight. The cast felt like friends and family and the old adrenaline rush came back. What a great show! So, what do we do now? Here are some updates:
Is everyone ready to show the advertisers in a subtle, effective way that we noticed their commercial and it has made a difference? Here is the plan and we'd love your participation.
It's almost time for the return of Jericho. Fri. night at 9 p.m. on CBS. We all know Jericho is full of action, suspense, mystery, family and community but what's a Jericho without some love and romance? For that we have Jake, Emily, and Heather.
I've been a big fan of Jake/Emily from the beginning but some fans are just as passionate about Jake/Heather. You'll have to decide for yourself but here's some information on Emily (Ashley Scott) and Heather (Sprague Grayden).
Emily grew up in Jericho and is the daughter of Jonah Prowse (James Remar) who believes in taking advantage of every situation to better himself financially. Emily's mother is dead and her younger brother was killed in a botched robbery attempt. Interesting that Jake left town right after her brother died. See, Emily and Jake were romantically involved at one time and you'll learn more about that as you watch more episodes.
Emily is a school teacher and she and her father don't speak although he very much wants to make up with her. After Jake left town, Emily met and became engaged to Roger (Christopher Wiehl). She was planning the wedding with her best friend and soon to be Maid of Honor, Heather, when the explosion happened. Emily believes Roger to be dead. Meanwhile, Jake meets Heather,sparks fly, but I never felt he and Heather had the chemistry he and Emily had.
Heather is also a teacher and she moved to Jericho from New Bern. She can repair cars and do all sorts of things much like Jake can. Where'd she learn that? It's obvious that she wants Jake but I'm not so sure Jake has let Emily go.
Will it be Emily, Heather, or someone else? What about Roger? One thing is for sure- there is no sure thing in Jericho.
