Jericho On Facebook

Why is having a page on Facebook a good thing for Jericho?

Facebook is the second most visited website on the World Wide Web. It is surpassed only by MySpace. In June 2007 it was ranked between top 10–20 web sites, and was the number one site for photos in the United States.
It's the seventh most visited site in the United States.

# Users: Over 30 million
# Monthly new user average: 4 million
# Daily new user average: 150,000
# Page views: Over 15 billion per month
# Searches: Over 500 million per month

Facebook is like MySpace except I believe it's easier to set up. After you join you can add friends, photos, and set up networks.

1. Join

2. Same setup as MySpace. Edit your profile, add an avatar and pictures as you like, then write something on The Wall which is found on your page. It's basically a message you send out to the community.

3. You will also see a Mini-Feed on your page which displays 10 or more stories.It will show things like who your friends are, what network you've joined, etc.

4. Go to Groups and search for Jericho. You'll find a number of them including Jeff from Nutsonline. Click on Join Group and you're in. Nothing else to do.

5. If you join a group you can then go to their page, see members of the group, and click on their picture to ask them to add you as a friend. You can join many groups-not just Jericho- so we can spread the word everywhere.


As always, feel free to ask questions.

Jake, Emily, and Heather In Jericho

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.

Jericho And Elvis

The discussion has been raging since Saturday when Rich at Copywrite Ink wrote an article titled " Embracing Jericho Fans: CBS". The article, about a fan club for Jericho fans, covers the subjects of organizing, creating a name and bylaws, electing interim officers, legalities, and creating a community. Now Rich has no interest in a fan club but he does know what is involved so he was just making suggestions as to what someone/whomever would need to know to get one rolling.
It seems some people took offense and it quickly became a debate between some. Do we want a fan club? Who controls the money? Should it be official?

I have tried to remain clear of these types of debates but I love Jericho so I'm going to comment here and now. It probably won't make any difference but I'll feel better. I hate to see a discussion go from heated to accusatory to threatening.

First, what is our goal? To get more people to watch Jericho. Will a fan club help us reach our goal? No because the fan club isn't ready to get to work and Jericho will be back on our screens in five days.
Secondly, if I'm not putting my money into a fan club then why would I care who takes care of handling the money?
Third, if someone starts a fan club I have the option of joining or not. If I want to join but don't like the way it's being run then no one can force me to join.

When I was a teenager I read all the movie star magazines which always listed fan clubs. You sent the club a SASE and your money. In return you'd get a membership card, maybe a picture, and a trinket. There was no internet so you never got to chat with other fans. Of course, my true love was Elvis. Did you know there are over 500 official Elvis fan clubs today? There are clubs in 44 states and 45 countries. Now that's a lot of fans!

I would guess that if Elvis could be on TV today those fans could show the Nielsen's a thing or two. Elvis isn't here but Jericho is and it will take more than a fan club to make sure it gets more seasons. Whether a fan club is established or not, whether I join or not will not bring one new viewer to the TV screen. Debate about a fan club is fine but we must focus. We need new viewers and a lot of them. I don't think we will find them at CBS where people seem to be interested only in debating fan club issues.

Elvis has left the building but Jericho hasn't. Let's keep it that way. Please.
