There is no such thing as reality

It's sad that people can mobilize to get a television show back on the air but can't get off their asses to do anything about this war (or a host of the world's other real problems, like Sudan, AIDS in Africa, poverty anywhere, to name a few of the infinite examples.) Probably because they're sitting on their asses watching television, oblivious to the real world around them.
Fans trumpeting the cause of CBS' canceled drama "Jericho" have caught the network's ear.

CBS, deluged with calls, messages and shipments of nuts signifying viewer displeasure, is reconsidering its decision, a source close to the production said Tuesday.

The source spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment publicly. A decision on whether to bring the show back, probably for a midseason run, is imminent, the source said.

"We are tired of the networks (not just CBS) tossing aside quality programming," was the message carried by jericholives.com, one of several Web sites protesting the cancellation. "Enough! We're going to fight for this one."

Clarke Ingram, a "Jericho" fan from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and a spokesman for jericholives, said he was optimistic that CBS would find a way to revive the drama about a Kansas town isolated by a nuclear terrorist attack.
Show sounds like a real winner...
