David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. “Jericho’s” audience: Peanuts
It really is the end of the world for “Jericho:” Only 6 million watched last night, more than “Big Bother” (as we’ve rechristened it) which preceded it but less than a “Law & Order: SVU” repeat and “Boston Legal.”
CBS Entertainment chief Nina Tassler renewed the show due to its faithful online audience, and this season aired other provocations she hoped would get the chatterazzi buzzing in blogs and message boards: “Kid Nation” (which inspired no cyber-revolution) and “Viva Laughlin” (dead after a mere two episodes). Boy, if you can’t trust the Internets to drum up support for your shows, who can you trust?
Back to the drawing board.
