All-American Issue Features Jericho Star Ashley Scott; Much-Talked-about CBS Series is Natural Fit with Magazine

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The newest issue of Salon City hits newsstands today, with an exclusive cover featuring Jericho star Ashley Scott. Salon City editors chose Ashley because she reflects the issue's theme of "relaunching the American dream" with the energy and enthusiasm that identifies the All-American Girl. Said Salon City, Inc. (OTC:SLON - News) President and CEO Steven Casciola, "It was a pleasant surprise to see that Jericho's fans are so passionate about keeping the show on the air. We didn't know what CBS was going to announce, so this makes Ashley's appearance on our cover even more gratifying.

"In an impressive display of support for Jericho, more than 50,000 fans petitioned to keep the show. On June 6, CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler issued a release committing the network to seven more episodes of the show for midseason next year.

Tassler stated, "We are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences. This includes re-broadcasting Jericho on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing the story of Jericho in the digital world until the new episodes return."

Miss Scott is featured in an exclusive Salon City interview with Casciola, as well as a 6-page fashion shoot. Said Casciola, "The same passionate fan base that loves Ashley and Jericho is part of our target audience at Salon City. These are people who go the extra mile for what they believe in -- a perfect match for what our magazine and company do as well."

A very funny thank you to the volunteers on the Save Jericho Campaign video from three cast members of the series - Brad Beyers, Bob Stephenson and Richard Speight Jr.e bject>

Many people is asking why Ashley hadn't post anything at Jericho forum when other actors had done it already, I think that reading this article, many of us wold understand. For her, to sit to read or write something it's a real problem because she is Dyslexic, for that reason her work as an actress is really a lesson of courage, it takes her five more times than a normal person to read something. She explains too, the meaning of her tatoo on her back and says she is still happy married with her husband Anthony Rhulen, according with the adaption of last year's issue 16 from Lucire magazine. Please read.

Despite having Charleston as the backdrop to her childhood, it had some frustrations for Scott. ‘I am dyslexic,’ she wrote in one follow-up email to Lucire. ‘Thanks for reminding me—to never type an interview again! This is brutal!’ To Scott’s credit she did not have a single typo, which is more than can be said for many who do not suffer from the condition.

‘I was very frustrated in school,’ she recalled. ‘I couldn’t stand to go. I didn’t understand why I was so much slower than everyone else: it is horrible as a child.’

She continues to challenge her dyslexia and is grateful that modern teachers and parents can spot the signs earlier. ‘Once it’s detected, you can find little tricks within yourself to work around it.’

The experiences have led Scott to be a positive person, ready to break out with the jokes. ‘Life makes me want to get out of bed in the morning. I honestly love life. I love that we can feel all that we can: the good, the bad, the sad. I love that every day we wake up we have the choice [of] how we are going to live that day. Sometimes you want to walk around pissed off. Go for it: it’s your choice!’

So does that make Scott a glass-half-full kind of girl? Yes, she told us, ‘unless it’s beer. Then it is definitely empty!’

The beer-drinking might be slightly at odds with Scott’s newfound interest in yoga (‘I just went to my first yoga class—it was awesome. I walked out feeling so good’) and her phoenix tattoo on her lower back with the Chinese ideographs for ‘strength, destiny, love and courage’.

LETTER FROM CBS:

To the Fans of Jericho:

Wow!

Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard.

As a result, CBS has ordered seven episodes of "Jericho" for mid-season next year. In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more "Jericho," we will need more viewers.

A loyal and passionate community has clearly formed around the show. But that community needs to grow. It needs to grow on the CBS Television Network, as well as on the many digital platforms where we make the show available.

We will count on you to rally around the show, to recruit new viewers with the same grass-roots energy, intensity and volume you have displayed in recent weeks.

At this time, I cannot tell you the specific date or time period that "Jericho" will return to our schedule. However, in the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences. This includes re-broadcasting "Jericho" on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing the story of Jericho in the digital world until the new episodes return. We will let you know specifics when we have them so you can pass them on.

On behalf of everyone at CBS, thank you for expressing your support of "Jericho" in such an extraordinary manner. Your protest was creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone. You made a difference.

Sincerely,

Nina Tassler
President, CBS Entertainment

P.S.    Please stop sending us nuts :-)

Wall Street Journal have a Jericho headline on the front page! They are running the AP story announcing the renewal and they have imbedded the video with Les from last week.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Ashley, we support you and all the cast members! So

32,473 lbs of nuts, worth $44,560, have been ordered online!!! ALMOST 100,000 SIGNATURES!!

SCHUMI SAYS-The campaign had an article about it on the front of the entertainment section of the New York Times. That’s our second Times article in 2 days. If you heard Michael Gaston last night on Shaun’s show – you can have a hit on Broadway and not get 2 articles in the Times.

LES MOONVES COMMENTS AT D CONFERENCE

Not important –
The comment about the filtering of emails is no big deal. We knew 2 weeks ago they were doing that. Each time they have adjusted the email filters – the tech savvy Jericho Rangers have gotten around them. The comment only serves to strengthen our resolve. Let it.

Important –
That interview appeared as a blog post on the Wall Street Journal. Many of you were not amused with Mr. Moonves’ comments. Two weeks ago – there would have been ranting and raving on a message board. Yesterday – in 6 hours, you all posted 161 pages of articulate comments stating what you thought of the statements and why you wanted the show to return. You told OUR side of the story. As we’ve said all along: WE WILL BE HEARD.

They are meeting this week to discuss the fate of the show. We have no idea what is going on behind closed doors right now. Mr. Moonves could have slammed Jericho, expounded on why it failed and the cancellation was justified. He didn’t. He could have summarily dismissed our efforts to save the show. Instead, to the extent that he probably can, he complimented us - admiring our passion.

Like the NYT business section article Tuesday, the WSJ is serious media. Decision makers and bean counters in Hollywood live and die by these publications. They are front and center on all their desks. CBS cannot afford to have this fight waged on that front. This has become about more than a television show. On our side we are arguing not only for the show, but for every quality show out there and for every viewer to be heard. For CBS – this has stopped being about Jericho. We have made it about headlines for them – and headlines are about image. We must convince them to chose the one that says that shows CBS cares – Jericho Lives.

CAMPAIGN APPROACH

It’s working. We have been told that. We have been told to focus on CBS and stay the course. We are on track and having an impact. We would not continue to ask for letters, email, phone calls, nuts – if we did not know it is making a difference. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t prepare additional ideas. A lot of you want to look to the sponsors. OK. It’s an uphill climb and I’m not sure that we have the kind of time. If we want to involve a sponsor – we have to pick one. We have to pick a sponsor, approach them in a professional manner, layout why involvement in our campaign is beneficial to the sponsor, what we can do for them, and what we would like them to do for us. This is a lot of work and we must all work together – not everyone running off to a different sponsor.

• Start ONE thread to discuss it (ok – maybe one thread on CBS, Rally, IMDB and the other major Jericho boards)
• Post your suggestion as to which sponsor, what the angle would be, why it would be beneficial to that sponsor
• Debate the options on the thread.
  STAY ON MESSAGE
  Jericho is a quality program cast aside. We want it back on CBS – If a full season is not possible, then as a mid-season replacement. This must be the message not only to CBS, but distributed in ALL the media coverage we get. The story isn’t the NUTS. It was never the nuts.  It’s the message. Why are we shipping tons of nuts around the country – We want CBS to hear us, listen to us, and save our quality show – Jericho.
  
  STAY ON TARGET
  
  All our attention right now MUST be focused on CBS directly.
  
  BE POSITIVE AT ALL TIMES
  
  Ignore negativity, naysayers, and rumors at all costs. A true Ranger who has become disheartened will get more positive boost from seeing everyone active, working together and fighting hard – than anything else. Do not be distracted by negative threads and posts. They are not worth the distraction. We do not have the time to waste on them – none of us do. Temporarily remove the term troll from your vocabulary. It has been come the most derogatory word on the board and itself is a distraction – we can’t afford those right now. Just because someone voices concern or a difference of opinion doesn’t make them one. If you find a poster continually disruptively negative – use the IGNORE feature and the problem will be solved.
  
  Rumors are just that – rumors. DIG DEEP-FIGHT HARD until you hear the word direct from CBS. Who knows what was said out of the affiliates meeting or any place else. Everything I have been told is that they are still discussing this and that NO decision has been made. I don't think it would be just tossed out at an affiliates meeting. Trust me when it comes – the world will know it.
  
  We need everyone of you in this effort and we need you to bring more people to it - not just current Jericho fans.
  
  WE WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
  
  -schumi
  

Jericho has been nominated for a Saturn award for best television series!

AOLNEWS: Nuts for Jericho ships protest to CBS

ASHLEY ROCKS! CHEERS FOR ASHLEY, SHE SAID WHAT SHE THINKS ABOUT JERICHO CANCELATION:

Entertainment Weekly's front page!: At the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End premiere in Hollywood, Ashley Scott, who played Emily Sullivan, told EW's Carrie Bell how she felt about Jericho's cancellation: "It infuriates me. It is not fair to people who watched because we didn’t wrap it up because we thought we were coming back. Now viewers will never get a chance to know the whole story of the bombs and what happened or what is going to happen to these townspeople. It is just rude and I think people are going to stop watching shows like that because they keep getting shafted by these serials that they get into, then they get canceled and they never get any closure."

LOOKING AT THE CANCELLATION OF CBS' JERICHO AND FANS' INCREDIBLE FIGHT TO SAVE THE SERIES
by Mike Johnson @ 10:29:00 AM on 5/22/2007 - www.pwinsider.com

In the beginning of the movement last week, CBS stood to their cancellation, noting that the series' engine "wasn't working." Well, as any Jericho fan would point out, the series lost a chunk of its audience during a break over two months, which hurt the audiences on nearly every show on every network that followed a similar path. During its hiatus, Jericho was replaced by "Armed & Famous" the celebrity turned cop reality show that couldn't even survive its own planned six episodes. Jericho was never promoted by the network (sounds familiar to ECW fans from the TNN era, eh?) and when it returned it was up against some little known series known as...American Idol.

New Jersey's Jeffrey Braverman, who owns NutsOnline.com began realizing they were receiving a number of orders from Jericho fans to ship to CBS. Initially dismissing it as silliness, Braverman began changing his tune while talking to some of the fans who were placing phone orders. Braverman soon realized that these were fans who were not loony or completely nuts over a failed sci-fi series but instead crossed all walks of life and background. Braverman, who has never seen the series but became interested after learning about it from customers, set up a designated page for fans to not only support the series with orders but to donate any amount of money with the idea of sending the nuts wholesale to CBS.

While Braverman is a smart businessman, he's also provided an outlet for fans to let their money do their talking in dramatic fashion to CBS. As of this writing, $5,253 worth of nuts (racking up to an insane 3,758 pounds) have been ordered, with the first delivery set to descend upon CBS' headquarters on West 52nd Street in New York City this afternoon.

CNN MONEY.COM-Angry ‘Jericho’ fans think CBS is nuts -May 21th

In addition to e-mailing me and posting responses to the Media Biz blog, several fans threatened to boycott CBS and, in the strangest twist of all, there is even a campaign to save the show by having fans send nuts to the network’s executive vice president of programming.

Apparently, the nuts are meant to be a symbol of how crazy CBS is for cancelling the show and is also a reference to a line uttered by one of the show’s main characters in the show’s final episode.

URGENT PROJECT GREEN LIGHT - SET TO GO ON TUESDAY

1. Everyone needs to sent email, voice mail, fax, and nuts to CNN on Tuesday.

2. Remember to continue to give CBS some attention while you do this. We wouldn't want them to feel left out.

3. Pass the word around. Let everyone know. 

CNN Contact information
One CNN Center, Box 105366, Atlanta, GA 30303-5366
Phone: 404-827-1500
Fax: 404-827-1906

Remember to cover the following topics in your emails, voice mails and letters.

1. Make sure to let CNN know what the NUTS Campaign is all about.

2. Tell them that our goal is for CBS to either give Jericho a second season or to sell Jericho to another network. Those possible networks are TNT, CW, SCI-FI, HBO, Showtime, or any network that will be willing to buy Jericho.

3. Tell them that our stand goes futher than just Jericho. This campaign is about the right of the viewers to have a voice in deciding what show they want to watch.

4. You can add also why you love Jericho and anything else you would like to express.

5. Please keep it clean. Show CNN that we are respectful and we are not trying to cause trouble.

CBS responds to 'Jericho' fans: We'll let you know how it would have ended-May 22th

Since then, passionate "Jericho" fans have organized and bombarded the network with letters and e-mails that state feelings, such as, "This show has touched us like no other before" and "CBS has cast aside a gem in Jericho." An online petition, http://www.jericholives.com , already has 60,000 signatures. One fan even wrote a Bring Back Jericho poem and posted it at http://jericholives.com/fight.htm .

Tassler was so moved by the response that she posted a letter to the fans on http://www.cbs.com , her spokesman, Chris Ender, said.

"She was touched by the letters and e-mails she's received because they each had independent voices," Ender said. "It was not an organized cookie-cutter type campaign. She was touched by the thoughtfulness of the response and wanted to directly respond to them."

In the letter, Tassler told the fans that she also loved the show: "We truly appreciate the commitment you made to the series and we are humbled by your disappointment. In the coming weeks, we hope to develop a way to provide closure to the compelling drama that was the 'Jericho' story."

CBS executives will meet this week to discuss how the network can let the fans know how the "Jericho" story would have ended.

*********************************************************************

Half-Ton Of Nuts Heading To CBS-May 21, 2007

About 50 orders had been placed in a short time to New Jersey retailer Nuts Online, all in reference to a television show called "Jericho," a show that Braverman said he barely had heard of, let alone watch.

"When we first started getting these orders, and we realized what was going on, my first thought was, 'What are these weirdos doing?' It was bizarre," Braverman told SyFy Portal's Michael Hinman. "But you know what? These are real people. These are normal people. They have been calling up, and these are some real nice people and I understood where they were coming from."

"These people are really hoping that this will make an impact, and I don't think they'll be disappointed," Braverman said. "In this first order alone, we have 40 25-pound boxes of nuts being shipped. It's kind of hard to ignore that."

Nuts Online is one of several companies fans had targeted to ship nuts, a play on some of the final dialogue of the "Jericho" series that Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich) says to the sheriff of New Bern when asked to surrender. It was his way of telling the advancing soldiers from that town to go to hell. Fans have since adopted that as their own mantra, and hope to do for Jericho what tabasco sauce a few years ago did for UPN's "Roswell."

With the orders have come hundreds of pieces of e-mail to the nuts company, something Braverman said he has been spending a great deal of time personally responding to.

"I'm literally sending hundreds of e-mails back to people," he said. "It's an amazing thing. You have all these people coming out of the woodwork, and they are thanking us. People are telling us that we had made their day, and that they are really happy."

And CBS might want to take note, because Braverman wants CBS to give "Jericho" a chance, so that he can give it a chance as a viewer.

****************************************************************************************************

Fans of Jericho from around the world - your voices are extremely important - let CBS know how many of you are really out there.  You dont count in the US Nielsen ratings and US viewer numbers of 8 million.   Send post cards, letters, send nuts if you can - even metal ones !!  to CBS (you can skip the bolts).
Show CBS how much international appeal Jericho has - and make it a point to say you will buy the DVD of Season 1 when it is issued (multiple copies if possible)

REALITY CALL BOYCOTTING CBS.

Lots of us have been boycotting CBS since the cancellation of Jericho.  Even any CBS affialtes,  SHOWTIME  and all cables that they own, since CBS loves reality show so much, they should appreciate this REALITY CALL BOYCOTTING CBS.

Jericho fans send Nuts to CBS
Posted by George Jackson on Sunday, May 20th at 8:58 AM

New York City, NY - Fans of the CBS Drama "Jericho" are up in arms today after their shoe was canceled. The CBS Network in New York is under fire from Jericho Fans. Telephone lines are busy, Emails are flooded and Mailboxes are jammed shut with letters of complaint about CBS.

As part of the fans Campaign NUTS are being sent to CBS offices across the United States. The term NUTS was used in the Season Finale of the show. This can be considered one of the largest Network Television Protests in CBS history. An online petition has 50,000+ signatures and the number is increasing rapidly. Online sites such as Jerichorallypoint.com or Jericholives.com have become important meeting places amongst the Jericho community.

Jericho, a show about a small Kansas town surviving a nuclear attack on the USA has 8,000,000 loyal fans and they won't stop until they get their show back.

**************************************************************

To the fans of Jericho:

We have read your emails over the past few days and have been touched by the depth and passion with which you have expressed your disappointment. Please know that canceling a television series is a very difficult decision. Hundreds of people at the Network, the production company and the incredibly-talented creative team worked very hard to build and serve the community for this show -- both on-air and online. It is a show we loved too.

Thank you for supporting Jericho with such passion. We truly appreciate the commitment you made to the series and we are humbled by your disappointment. In the coming weeks, we hope to develop a way to provide closure to the compelling drama that was the Jericho story.

Sincerely,

Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment

My opinion: the show started in November 2006. Viewership had dropped off when Jericho returned in late February, after 12 weeks of no episodes -- not even reruns -- Could any network have been surprised that the show -- any show -- would lose viewers when it disappears for three months? This is not how you build an audience, plus, they put the show to fight ratings gains American idol... please!! The answer of mMrs. tasles for me, it's a joke.
