It's official. The "nuts" campaign worked.

CBS has announced this afternoon that it's ordered up seven episodes of the previously-cancelled Jericho, to air sometime in mid-season. And entertainment president Nina Tassler credited the fan protest for forcing the about-face, calling it "creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone." Tassler says the network will consider ordering more shows if ratings pick up.

CBS may be nuts enough to save Jericho

Well, maybe the idea wasn't so nutty, after all. That campaign to save the CBS Jericho serial may have actually worked.

TV Guide's Michael Ausiello reports:

Multiple sources are telling me that CBS is this close to sealing a deal to bring Jericho back for at least eight episodes, possibly at mid-season. My spies caution that this is in no way official, but it certainly sounds like it could be by day's end. It's now just a matter of signing the actors to new deals and, according to one insider, finding a new soundstage to house the show's sets.

Fans of CBS' recently-cancelled Jericho are trying to pull their favorite series back from the black hole by throwing nuts at the network.

They got the idea because the closing line from Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich) in the final episode of the apocalyptic series was "Nuts".

Amid various viral campaigns, some fans began sending packets of nuts to the suits to show them they're "nuts" for canceling the series. And it wasn't long before an enterprise nut company came up with a way to help the cause and cash in at the same time. NutsOnline has set up a Jericho page where people can pay $5 or $10 increments to be part of a massive group shipment of nuts.

At last tally, they were up to 4,889 pounds.

Newsgasm: Jericho gets Lost

Jericho might have its mysteries, but it's no Lost, not yet anyway. But don't tell the programmers at CBS. The network is going to conclude the cliffhanging serial drama's "Fall Season" (that's a new one) after eleven episodes on November 28, then keep the show on hiatus for ten weeks. It's set to return Feburary 21st, with a Lost-style flashback, beginning with life in the small Kansas town before the country is bombarded with a nuke blasts.

So how is CBS going to keep fans hooked through the long nuclear winter?
