The new post apocalyptic television series <a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/jericho/" target="_self">Jericho</a> is premiering tonight on CBS at 8:00 EST. I had completely forgotten about this until I saw an ad for it. I won't be able to watch it live, so if you can, let me know what you thought of it!

Watched a trailer the other day. Looked like your average daytime soap opera.

It's gonna suck dick. Theres not gonna be any mutants or ghouls. Probably no references to fallout either. The actors don't look like people who'd survive a nuclear explosion/war/whathaveyou.

They're to.. clean

ja

[Edit] For being a post apocalyptic show, the explosion was pretty fucking shitty. The mushroom cloud didn't even look good and there was no blast wave. The shit I took during the commercial was more explosive than the nuke.

The townsfolk are more worried about people trapped in a mine and a school bus then the fucking NUCLEAR EXPLOSION!

If I lived in Jericho I'd say fuck all that, I'm more worried about the Israelites spiking my baby on a goddamn rock.

I watched it and it wasn't as bad as I expected. Although a bit cliched and predictable. There were a lot of worries of radiation, especially when that chick was driving along and suddenly birds where lying dead everywhere. It kinda reminds me of Z for Zacharia on a larger scale. I loved that book and if that's where they're going with the show it might be pretty good.

Isn't it an old show?

They showed it tonight in aussieland too. Got people to tape it because I was working. So far it reminds me of typical soap-opera esque shit, but the black guy and escaped criminals seem to offer some kind of twist. Hopefully the crims will ride into town Mad Max style.

I thought it was old to. Some black guy with dreads tied back and some white guy going around.

You're probably thinking about Jeremiah, which was based on the comic with the same name.

no shit, villain characters? Now that's innovative!

Seeming that the characters havn't really been elaborated on then, yes they can be innovative.

Thats true. I still pray to you every night Jebus.

I recorded it and just got a chance to watch it. I must say that I am pretty disappointed with the scope of nuclear devastation. I was expecting crazy ass shit. And then all of the cliches: bus load of escaped convicts, prodigal son returns home, etc. And how the hell are we expected to believe that the guy can do a tracheotomy with juice box straw??
