Just last week we posted the news that the Jericho Rangers (fans of Jericho who want to see the show come back for another season) were pooling resources together in an effort to make a commercial to play in the L.A. area for the month of June, in hopes that some TV executive would take notice and do something about it.

Well, that commercial is totally complete now and it launched officially last Friday. They got the voice-over work done by Brad Beyer, who plays Stanley Richmond on the show, which was totally great of him to help out.

The great thing about this campaign is that it’s not just the fans doing it themselves, but the writers and creators of the show, and even Jericho actors like Beyer, are all trying to get it done together.

Go check out the commercial on SaveJerichoAgain.com when you get a chance, and check out the official press release for the commercial below.

Keep up the good fight Rangers!

HISTORY STARTS NOW:
JERICHO CAMPAIGN TAKES TOTHE AIRWAVES

Fresh on the heels of funding an ad in “Variety”and a gigantic billboard in downtown Los Angeles broadcasting the need for a new home, fans of the serial post-apocalyptic drama Jericho are once again demonstrating their commitment to resurrecting their favorite television show. The latest salvo in the fight for Jericho? Over 200 cable TV ads airing over the course of ten days around Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and the South and East San Fernando Valley.

Through yet another massive fundraising effort over the past three weeks, fans – or Jericho Rangers, as they’re often called – have put together over $6,000 to purchase TV advertising in what may be a first for a fan commu- nity seeking to show support for a beloved show. The 30-second ad, created by a talented fan with the screen name RubberPoultry, begins airing June 12th in a ten-day run that hits popular, ratings-rich shows, such as “Ghost Hunters”on the SciFi Channel, “Deadliest Catch”on the Discovery Channel, and other programs on the History Channel.

With voice-over graciously provided by actor Brad Beyer, Jericho’s stalwart, salt-of-the-earth farmer/ranch owner “Stanley Richmond,”the ad can be found at www.savejerichoagain.com, a site specifically created to showcase the TV spot and highlight fan efforts on behalf of the show.

Targeting efforts in and around the Hollywood industry area where a decision about Jericho’s future will most likely be made in the near future, Jericho Rangers have worked with Time-Warner (holding 97% of the market share in that region) to create a schedule that complements other fans’media efforts and maintains awareness of support for the show, its cast, and crew.

Since Jericho’s official cancellation by CBS in March, it’s been rumored that several networks and media compa-nies, including the SciFi Channel, have expressed an interest in reviving and picking up the show. Talks are thought to be currently underway with Jericho’s creators and interested parties to bring the show back to life in some incarnation.
