We live in Escondido, California. I don't think we qualify as geeks, nerds, screwballs, or freaks, but if it means that Jericho is renewed then cbs can call us anything they want. We tivo'd Jericho, but would watch it within 24-48 hours.

I watched the show the old fashioned way, with rabbit ears and all, but can understand that many people used new media to follow the show. I hope all networks, not just CBS take notice to this campaign and realize times and media are changing, along with their audiences.
