Jericho TV Show
There was a marathon of the first 10 or so episodes and that got me hooked recently. Ended up watching another 8 or so online (crummy video feed) before finally renting the final two DVD's full of episodes.
You've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Re: Jericho TV Show
Those maybe the reruns, I saw on the CBS website Feb. 12th is the return. I figured this show would be right up JiF's alley too. The following story was told in one episode.
"Finally realizing that this was a major offensive, Eisenhower sent the Airborne divisions refitting after Market-Garden to take Bastogne and Saint-Vith. The 101st Airborne, whose defense of Bastogne would become legendary, arrived by truck just hours before the town was cut off and surrounded, supported by units of the 10th armored. “Visualize the hole in a doughnut,” the 101st radioed SHAEF Headquarters in Paris, “That’s us.” Bad weather grounded the Allied air forces and prevented resupply.
They were to hold the town with little supplies and few tanks or vehicles. A store of flour in a Belgian warehouse fed the 101st with flapjack pancakes. American GIs retreating from the German advance stopped and joined in the defense. Artillery was set up in the center of town to give the defenders support anywhere along the lines, and from their arrival on December 18th until the day after Christmas, the 101st beat back German attacks. During the battle, the German commander charged with taking the vital crossroads sent a long letter to General Anthony C. McAuliffe, calling for his surrender. McAuliffe’s one-word reply, “NUTS!” indicated the determination of the 101st to hang on."
When CBS decided to cancel the show, fans rallied to bring it back. Part of that rally included sending 20 tons of nuts to CBS' headquarters!
