This sounds a lot like that "Jericho Movie" people were talking about years ago...Never happened did it? Regardless...I did join the facebook groups to show my support.

Fact: 31.5% of IMDb users wanted Avatar to win Best Picture.
Fact: 31.5% of IMDb users are idiots.

They should be wary of doing this. For the all the talk of the show's premise, it failed because it was just a soap opera with pretty paint. Everything besides the premise was one big cliche. The storylines were ripe of typical mid-2000 stories. Love triangle, loser boy secretly in love with popular girl, contrived dramatic moments(static electricity explosions), cheating husbands. It was like watching a poorly made Lifetime movie every week. Only the premise was original, very little else was.

And you're the kind of cynical dickhole that a good show will never appeal to, so who cares what you think?

reply

No I'm the kind of cynical dickhole a wholly contrived show will never appeal to.

Any new news? I wanted the movie, but with Netflix picking up shows here and there, this show has a huge following and would do really well on Netflix.

Does it stop sucking after ep 9? Cause its been pretty bad. And I like post-apoc stuff.

What a lovely way to burn...

Just keep with it...it'll get interesting. I started watching it 2 weeks ago. Fell asleep on a couple (but it was pretty late) but by the time it got to the end of the season....WOW. I just finished the last episode of Season 1 last night.

Don't get your hopes up people. I have seen this post for numerous shows that were canceled.

reply

The difference is, if you google it, there are a lot of other sources backing up the talks that are allegedly taking place.

This would be awesome if it happened. Someone should do a Kickstarter project for it, worked for Veronica Mars.

VM got a movie, not another season. Personally, I think a movie would have worked better had there not been a second season.

reply

I was just thinking that if the fans raised enough money to show that there's an interest then Netflix will do it. I agree that a movie wouldn't work at this point.

i dont know anything about how this sort of thing works, but does anyone know or have a good guess as to when we might see the new episodes added?

also, im curious as to when these episodes were shot. were they in the can, ready to be aired on cbs when it got canceled, or are they shot recently? personally, i hope this is old stuff, shot while the show was running.....
