Really.

I've had friends who worked in and around the television industry. The government doesn't come in and throw money at people to do material -- if that happened, it would be headlines in VARIETY and other trade papers because everyone and their performing dog would be trying to get a slice of the show as a writer/actor/gaffer/electrician/etc. And there'd be thousands of stories on the government involvement.

Hollyweird can't keep ANY secrets!


I meant "they" tongue in cheek. I don't see the government officially spending any money for this sort of thing. And there aren't all that many "right" sided people in hollywood. That being said, the subject matter seems a bit off for L.A..

On top of that nuclear war/terrorism is a threat (as is the EMP effects which is what this appears to be more about) that hollywood has never really taken all that seriously. There was "the Day After" in the 80's, but that was ABC. It would surprise me if hollywood wants to look at it seriously, in light of the fact the left seems to be down playing "homeland security". Or at least only wants to talk about what the current adminstration has done wrong, and not what about they can do.

I can't wait to see the show, but it seems that it's part public reaction gauge, part information presentation.

It will be interesting.

lol well don't expect too much. I only watch it for a laugh because the production, casting, acting, continuity and consistency is so bad that it's good!

Yes, Jericho is back for season two, seven new episodes in all

I don't know what it's future will be after that. Either dead and gone or farmed off to one of the cable channels from what I hear.
