According to this CNN article (and a few other sites around the web), 20 tons of peanuts have been sent to CBS in response to the cancellation of Jericho. It’s a smart, suspenseful, and relevant show that the missus and I both enjoy.

To make matters worse, they ended the season (and what could have been the show) with an all-out firefight between Jericho’s inhabitants and a neighboring, war-mongering city. The last thing you hear is rapid-fire gunshots, with no resolution at all. Like LOST, there are lingering plot lines that need answering at some point, so a premature cancellation was not CBS’ best choice.

The nuts, by the way, are in reference to a line from the last episode, when Jericho’s unassuming leader is asked to submit, to which he says, in the words of General Anthony McAuliffe to the Germans in WWII, “NUTS!”.
