Some of you may recall last year's campaign to save Jericho, when CBS suddenly found itself the recipient of thousands of pounds of peanuts.
The peanut campaign, "'Nuts!" to CBS," was inspired by a line from the last episode of the show, when Jake, commanding Jericho's forces, responds "Nuts," when he's presented with terms of surrender. The dramatic sequence was inspired by a historic episode from the Battle of the Bulge.
The American commanding officer who responded "Nuts." to the German commander, Ret. Gen. Harry W.O. Kinnard, died this week.
Jericho is being rerun on many stations.
It's funny how things echo.
BTW, in case you think I'm obsessing about death, let's balance it with "My friend Jenn is having a baby girl!" and I'm all twittery and knitting baby things!
