For those of use who went through CD training, Jericho is an "example
of what not to do".
The only thing this show has going is the human drama. Everything else
is too bogus
for words.

My friends and I watch it, take notes and compare the gaffs we have
seen. Way too many
to list here. The alt.survival and misc.survival groups have ongoing
threads about Jericho, but even they are way to uncritical.

The show reminds me of "Father Knows Best" or "Leave it to Beaver"
meets "Mad Max",
or Chris Carters "X-Files". US parachutes, dropped by Chineese aircraft
with
Chineese supplies? More like Supermans Bizaro world then any variaiton
on reality
that I can dream up. Of course I don't smoke dope, so maybe that would
make
the show more "real".

Any group of people so uniformed as to try to lay an "ambush" against
men with military
weapons in such a clownish manor would be worm food. See U-tube for
last weeks "exciting" show. Or the week before in Rogue River with the
RavenWood, er Blackwater
mercs letting or heros get away is just too funny.

EMP isn't going to stop your Rolex.

And given the lack of running water, everyone looks a damn site cleaner
then I would
expect.

So Watch the show, and enjoy the fun. It is the funniest thing since
"Voyage to the
bottom of the Sea".
