Help Save Journeyman

[afterburn]

I don't know if any of you watch this show at all but I think it's great, one of the best new shows of the season, and I just learned that NBC is not going to renew it for a new season because of poor ratings.  Now, Jericho on CBS had the same thing going and the public spoke and look what happened.  There is an online petition to save this great TV show.  So if you have seen the show and like it, go on over there and add a vote, you can catch up with some of the past episodes online for free.  Check it out, and check this out.  http://www.petitiononline.com/jmf/

I signed, for whatever good it will do.  Shame, too - I thought Monday's episode was the best of the season so far.

Also, NBC will be airing what is likely to be the final episode tomorrow night at 10 pm.

ETA: Ironically, I actually think Journeyman might've taken off had it been introduced a year or so ago - this was one of the best seasons of TV in a long time (in terms of NEW shows) and it got buried under the glut.

I signed too.  Was gonna give up on the show early in the season, but it quickly grew on me.  I came to really enjoy the subplot and characters.

I too like the show.  Viewership has been down across the boards this year.

I kinda doubt it will be this easy to save, but at least Life got renewed.

If the last two episodes had been Episodes 4 and 5 instead of 12 and 13, it mightve stood a better chance; easily the strongest episodes of the entire run.

I was hoping that someone would try to save this show.   Like you, my wife and I really enjoyed it.

Just watched the last episode, and I must say, if the show really will end here, it's not a bad way to end it.

I also think it highly unlikely that it can be saved.  Jericho had a VERY high initial audience and only lost ratings when it was forced to compete with American Idol.  In spite of that, it still maintained a good sized fan base, even if the overall viewship was less that CBS wanted.  It should also be noted that they timing was beautiful.  The now have a full 7 seven episode season completely finished and ready to air in a time where there won't be too many other scripted shows thanks to the writer's strike.

Journeyman, on the other hand, started out with mediocre ratings that have gotten worse nearly every episode.  There is no extenuating circumstances, and the current ratings are under 5 million viewers.  Shows with only 10 million sometimes get canceled.  The CW's shows are mostly rated that low or lower, but no other network will tolerate that.
