I just binged this show Jericho from 20 years ago and it was pretty great.

Finished it last night. Overall I thought the series was great.

I'm assuming the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike was what caused Season 2 get cut to six episodes and the a rushed ending.

That freaking strike hurt the country's entertainment quality about as much as anything Hollywood related could have. Brought about the glut of reality shows. Most are more disturbing than an average case of Covid.

Is that when the networks cut back on the number of episodes per season most series get? That 1st season of Jericho had 21 episodes. Imagine two or three more years of that many episodes with great writing.

The same could be said for a few other shows that were interrupted.
