There's a lot of hate for that show. I happened to like it, cheesy, but I liked it.

I'm surprised a show like that ever got green-lighted in the first place, so it's no surprise it got canceled, especially with the strike.
Some of it was cheezy and ham fisted, but some of it was subtle. Like the whole "Operation: Boxcar" thing. Oh, you mean Bock's Car? I bet the average viewer never even picked up on that. |

Cheesy, campy, and low budget but I enjoyed it.

Influenza is viral. You don't treat with antibiotics. Those are for bacterial infections. However if you watch a show like the walking dead, which is full of crap like that, especially errors regarding firearms, you learn to ignore it and enjoy the show. I think it would have been better on cable, with a bigger budget. Think same premise, but like the walking dead. They wouldn't be able to put that show on today, it'd be touted at basically a copy of the walking dead. Still digging it though. Gets you at least thinking about things survival wise. |

From what I've read the comics are much better.

I watched it on DVD with the wife... I got so much bulk ammo from watching that show!
She'd turn to me and say "do we have enough 9mm?" The answer, for the record, was always "no" as I fired up the computer...

It's another show that started with a lot of promise and mystery with the backdrop of basic human survival that got shafted by lazy writing and rushed story arcs.

I actually watched Jericho when it aired. It was OK, there was so much awful reality programming on during prime time in those days that any sort of scripted programming was better.
I didn't have cable and was working part time at a garage and going to school full time (in my thirties), so my viewing choices were limited. It was OK, not great, at times it was close to dreadfully low budget. It wasn't so bad that it was unwatchable at least. It seemed like it had a decent concept, and could have been pretty good, but honestly I don't know that the scenario would have been able to remain believable and interesting for more than another season or two. |

Really gets you thinking about your plan in case of a disaster where you might have to go a while without power or running water. You do know we have a board here that could help you with that? In the "Outdoors" section: Survival Gear-Survival discussion. |

Finally finished the series. Seems like they rushed the last few episodes. Ended ok. Still left questions unanswered. Overall I'd rate it a B-.
One thing that pissed me off about the show was it was another one of these episodes where the "good guys" continually get shit on, their families are killed, their friends are killed, they are starved, jailed, and tortured. They get threatened with being wiped out, and they continually puss out at every juncture. No one gets pissed off and says fuck you and starts shooting people in the face. I found myself yelling at the TV to just kill the fucking badguys already. In that aspect, it was completely unsatisfying. By contrast, the show the Walking Dead. Rick gets shit on at first, has enough, then when he sees a threat, he fucking shoots it in the face and drives on. |

Will have to start over. |
