A lot of shows take a year or two to find their rhythm and/or replace the
weak links. Sometimes they're put on excessive deadlines for the networks
and don't have the resources to develop themes and scripts as much as they
would like.
It's hard to trash a show with at least a semi-decent premise and fair
acting in the first season, but Jericho might not make it. What torques me
the most is the end of the episodes where everybody's having a big town
picnic or the girl is having a party and everybody's having a good time...
or somebody looks upset and somebody else says "What's the matter?"
Apparently "There's been a nuclear war, my family is dead and nobody knows
what's going on" isn't a valid excuse to be a bit irrational now and then.
