CBS will start rerunning most of the first season of Jericho on July 6th:
Resurrected from an early demise just last week, CBS has set a summer repeat schedule for “Jericho” starting in early July.
On Friday, July 6 at 9 p.m. ET, CBS will reair the original “Jericho” pilot, in which the residents of a small Kansas town begin to deal with the effects of a nuclear attack. The following week, at 8 p.m., the network will air a clipshow recapping the season’s first 11 episodes, followed by episode 12, “The Day Before,” which began the show’s spring season.
Through the rest of the summer, CBS will use the Friday 9 p.m. time slot to show episodes 13-22. CBS will concentrate on those particular episodes because they represent the second half of the show’s first season, the block of episodes that followed the show’s extended winter hiatus and suffered major viewer attrition against FOX’s “American Idol.”
This makes sense.? The second half of the season was, in many ways, much better than the first half. The plot was more connected, and there was a definite arc going on. If you missed it, it’s worth watching.
