CBS canceled the nuclear apocalypse drama, "Jericho," on Wednesday, another sign that television networks are shying away from serial dramas after overloading on them last season.
The network unveiled a fall schedule with five new shows, three of them dramas.
"Jericho" started out strong last fall for CBS. However, like "Lost" on ABC and "Heroes" on NBC, many viewers abandoned the show after it went on a long midseason hiatus.
"We lost a lot of steam," said Kelly Kahl, CBS' chief scheduling executive. "I know we had loyal viewers ... but the show sort of lost its engine and wasn't performing."
If CBS is not willing to bring back the show then at least let us know what would happen.
Jonathan E. Steinberg & Josh Schaer were hired on and wrote after the original concept.
Steve Chbosky created the characters and alongside Jon Turteltaub came up with the original concept
Steve Chbosky is rep'd by the William Morris Agency.
