Monster Fan of The Week

This week's Fan of The Week is an asset to Jericho fandom. Ichtus is an open- minded, calming influence who comments on articles and focuses on the finer points of spreading word of Jericho. His insights have proven valuable to many time and again.

I'm looking forward to more of his comments and thoughts.


The Monster Fan of The Week is Ichtus.

Congratulations and thanks for all you do to promote Jericho.

A Monster Fan Interview: Suser

*** Announcement***
I am happy to report that Fan Central has established a Jericho Ranger of the Week project. This is totally separate from the JerichoMonster Fan of the Week so you have a chance of being selected from both places. Thanks.


Suser is an active participant on the board at Jericho Rally Point. She is an avid Jericho fan and works hard to promote the show. If you haven't yet joined and posted at Rally Point I urge you to do so. The people are friendly, smart, and welcoming. Just like Suser.



1. Would you join a Jericho Fan Club? Why or why not? YES

There are so many advantages to joining a fan club and being a part of one for "JERICHO" would be at the top of my list, as long as it's affordable. It's a great way to keep up with all the latest goings on with the show and being able to purchase JERICHO merchandise is also a great perk!


2. Do you think the Nielsen ratings are capturing all of Jericho's viewers? NO

There is no way Nielsen can count all viewers of the show. If you don't have a box you're not being counted, period. That system definitely needs a major overhaul and more efficient systems need to be put in place to get an accurate reading of just how many viewers there really are that are watching any given TV show.


3. If I had never watched Jericho what would you say to urge me to watch?

I would tell you that if you wanted to watch a show that has heart and soul and is every small town in America then this is the show for you. I would also tell you that it has everything: Comedy, Action, Mystery, Drama and a feeling of hope for the future. How could you not give that a shot?


4. What is your favorite episode/character and why?

I love all of them, but my favorite I think has to be "Why We Fight". This episode really gives you a sense of the comradery of the towns people and how willing they all were to stand up and fight for what is theirs. Much like all the fans did to save the show.

Alicia Coppola is my favorite character. I have watched her for years and was so happy to see her in "JERICHO". Her comedic timing is perfect and she brings it to a storyline that at many times needs a little relief from the tension to say the least.


5. What attracted you to Jericho and how long have you been watching?

I saw the promo for it last summer. I thought, small town, a nuclear bomb, this could be a really interesting show and I'm a big fan of disaster movies. I've watched from day one and helped save the show, sent nuts, bought a t-shirt and bought the DVD coming out in October. I can't ever imagine not having Jericho on the air.

A Monster Fan Interview: Skeeterbit

Today I am starting a series called A Monster Interview. We have all worked together since before the Nuts campaign so I thought it would be fun to ask fans some questions about Jericho. If you would be interested in being interviewed please let me know on the Jericho board. I'm sweat629. Or, you can wait until I visit your board and make my pitch. I will get to all the boards eventually. Without further ado it is my great pleasure to introduce Skeeterbit.


1. What is it about Jericho that has made you a fan?

I watched the pilot episode because of Skeet, but if the show had been a real stinker, I would not have kept watching. Strange as it sounds, the first thing that hooked me on Jericho was my intense dislike for my job which involves strict compliance with health care rules & regulations. Here was a town, with a clinic, treating the wounded literally in the street and not worrying about the stifling details that I am responsible for on a daily basis. After that, I was intrigued by the interpersonal relationships, how they were going to survive, and felt a connection with Jericho because I too live in a very, very small town.

2. Who is your favorite character and why?

Jake Green because I identify with the character. He’s surrounded by people who love him, rely heavily on him, but he feels alone and he’s hurting inside. I don’t think he feels worthy of their love, can’t forgive himself for the choices he’s made, and can’t reach out to those around him to ask for help to ease his pain. He’s so busy being all things to all people he has nothing left for himself.

3. If I had never watched Jericho what would you say to urge me to watch?

I would say that Jericho has something to offer all different types of people. It’s unique and diverse. Even before the “Save Jericho” campaign and the cast began to communicate with us, I felt the characters were easy to connect with much like friends and neighbors.

4. Would you join a Jericho Fan Club? Why or why not?

A few weeks ago I would have said, “Not on your life” because to me fan clubs were something that kids joined before the internet. Now I’m not so sure. I guess it will depend on what the fan club offers. Deep down I feel that CBS has already given us a fan club through the message board and blog, but I will support anything the Jericho fandom chooses to do primarily because I respect and admire those involved.

5. What would you like to see a Fan Club do whether you would join or not?

Provide information about the show and cast that cannot be obtained through the message board or Producers’ blog and is not immediately available to non-members or the media. Like what in the world is the tattoo under “May” on Skeet’s forearm or is the rumor about him having one on the back of his neck true? Or maybe photo shoots of the cast members’ homes so we can have a peek into their private lives to get to know them better. Jericho merchandise is already available and I have practically an entire Jericho wardrobe, but I would like something with the actual cast members on it and that would have to be sanctioned by CBS.

6. Anything else you'd like to add about yourself or Jericho?

Skeet Ulrich will never know it, but he probably saved my life by sharing the story of his, even though he says he doesn’t like to be himself in front of the camera. Also, I have done things in the past couple of months that I never thought I would do – all in the name of promoting Jericho and getting another season. This came along at a time in my life when I needed something entertaining to focus on; and I thank God daily for the people I’ve met on these boards for they are truly special individuals.

And very special are you Skeeterbit. Thank you.
