Wake up, CBS!

From Knox News, Tele-buddy's Tinseltown Tales:
http://blogs.knoxnews.com/knx/telebuddy/archives/2007/08/high_school_mus.shtml

"High School Musical 2" set a cable record on Friday. More than 17 million viewers tuned to the Disney Channel sequel, setting a record for the all-time biggest basic cable audience . It was also the all-time biggest made-for-basic-cable telepicture, the Disney Channel said.
To compare: "The Sopranos" finale on HBO had 11.9 million.

Also per the Disney Channel: it was the most-watched TV-movie anywhere since the 2005 premiere of the Keri Russell-Skeet Ulrich period drama, The Magic of Ordinary Days (with 18.7 million viewers) on CBS.


Why doesn't CBS broadcast an encore of this wonderful Hallmark Hall of Fame movie that earned more viewers than the much-hyped HSM2? Not only would it attract an audience familiar with the Hallmark reputation for quality, but Skeet Ulrich's incredible performance would draw viewers interested in seeing his work on "Jericho".

What a tease

I am posting lgl's link on the comment about Skeet's new pic here.

What a tease -- I am sure he knows we swoon over those hands and those sultry eyes!

Skeet In Primetime Special Emmy Magazine

Skeet is featured in this month's issue of Primetime Special Emmy Magazine under Ten for Ten. "In blogs, on BlackBerrys - and even face to face people are talking about these actors: America Ferrera, Forest Whitaker, Ellen Pompeo, David Boreanaz, Mary McDonnell, Kyle Chandler, Anne Heche, Ian McShane, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Skeet Ulrich." It is an awesome article and reveals a bit more of Skeet than we know. I really hope he gets an Emmy nomination (and win). I have added scans to the gallery view all here >>.

Skeet Speaks on Jericho Forum

This was posted on the Jericho forum from Skeet!!

To the most incredible fans ANY show has ever known:

From Skeet Ulrich

I am overwhelmed and quite honestly rendered speechless at the good will created by this show and its fans! By you, by us!
I think it speaks volumes regardless of the outcome.

A week ago our show was cancelled and it feels like time has stood still ever since. We loved bringing you this story. We loved waking up at 2:30 in the morning to drive an hour and a half and work 16 hours then drive home, eager and willing to do it all again the next day. Truly we did. Because when we got there we felt like a family. I miss that the most. Lennie constantly sang as he cooked up the mystery that is Robert Hawkins. Brad's incredible comic ability! The almost constant laughter and smiles. The kindness and generosity of spirit of everyone and I mean everyone (with the exception of one extra). I could go on and on.... trust me you don't want to hear it all! And as a family we never wanted to disappoint you. We tried desperately to stay one step ahead of you and you are a clever lot! Thanks for being there for us. I will never forget this experience and it is very hard to walk away from.

I have been fortunate to tell many different stories in my career but none has created the kind of discussions that this story has. Whether it was us in the lunchroom or people we would meet at events or people at the grocery store, invariably the discussion would turn to things much larger than the show, much more pertinent. And to me that is a success!

More to the point, however, is your generosity of spirit. I really don't know what to say....thank you doesn't suffice and my deck would collapse if we had a party so I am left somewhere in between. Your support is incredible and means more to all of us than you will ever know!

Be well. If we can all be as good to each other as you have been to us, what an incredible world we would have.

CBS Watch June 2007

Just another example of how "nuts" CBS is, the June 2007 issue of CBS Watch features an article entitled: Jericho's 5 Biggest Secrets and quotes such as:

"It's the unlikeliest of hit shows..."

"Jericho, one of the riskiest dramas to come to TV in years, has emerged as one of the season's strongest new shows, thanks to a shocking premise that surprised even the critics."




CBS do you read your OWN magazine? I think it's time you woke up and realized the mistake you made and fix it. Bring back our Jericho!

The entire article can be seen Here. Thanks so much Kay for the scan!!

An Ode to Skeet

Hysterical Hair
An Ode to Skeet
By ScriptGirl

The network execs, with their graphs and their charts
Have no idea what lurks in our hearts
They seem to reduce you to some kind of stat
I might not know much, but I do know that

For those of us who derive great pleasure
From watching you in our times of leisure
This whole thing screams of a major mistake
Do they realize what’s at stake?

The network whose last big success was MASH
Is looking for someone to bring in some cash
A ghost talking, pageant winning, nasal voiced twig?
A mathematician who can be a prig?

What about this cast full of talent and heart?
Good luck CBS with another new start
We want to see Jake and Eric and Stanley
Guys who are real, men who are manly.

Cop shows and Cop shows and Cop shows more
The fans should TUNE OUT and even the score
Skeet you should know that this fansite’s for you
In good times and rough, you can always turn to

The people here who’ve taken the ride
As you journey'd from Takedown to Miracles, in stride
Don’t let those execs with their cohebas and smarm
Try to tell you how to keep warm

Keep your eye on the ball and the wind in your sails
We’re here for you, through all your travails
Keep on rocking that hysterical hair
As long as you do, your fans will be there.

Jericho Discussion: Episode 1 - Pilot

You’ve both been born on third base, quit pretending you’d get
a triple….” Spoken by Jake to his father and brother.

Before the bombs…

Denver, Colorado

It seems just like yesterday it was September and we were at the edge of our seats waiting in sweet anticipation of this show’s first episode. We were rewarded with our first shot of Jake Green (Johnston Jake Green Jr., 32) enjoying the passing scenery from the window of the train car. Dressed handsomely in his khaki jacket and a sling bag, he also sports short curly hair and his face looks less gaunt than in future episodes. He heads to the garage to uncover his vintage car and heads to his hometown Jericho.

Jericho, Kansas

The prodigal son apparently had missed his grandfather’s funeral and is home for a day to collect his inheritance. He brings with him a sketchy past that baffled everyone he meets in town. At the home front the family is divided, our Jake is obviously a mama’s boy. Intelligently conveyed to us by their seating arrangements and on opposite sides of the coffee table. His father and brother (Johnston, Eric) were unconvinced that he’s been reformed. They both feel threatened by his presence especially because Daddy’s running for re-election. His mother (Gail) seems to be the only person who knows what he’s been up to and who holds the key to his enigmatic life. He leaves town on a sour note after visiting grandpa’s grave.

Characters introduced to us:

Stanley, Bonnie and Mimi - Jake’s apparent best childhood friend and his deaf sister Bonnie. They own the Richmond farm. Also we get a glimpse of Mimi, the high-nosed IRS agent auditing the farm. Jake claims he was in the Army when asked where he’s been the last five years.

Gracie the owner of the general store in town. Then there is the brooding and frail looking Dale who is her right handy person and who is tormented by the rich spoiled girl in town. To Gracie, Jake tells her he’s been playing minor league baseball since he left town.

Jake finds Emily, the newly engaged teacher to Roger and who had a past with Jake. She knows when not to believe Jake especially after he tells her he’s been in the Navy.

Then there are the Sheriff’s deputies watching the President’s state of the union address on TV.

Last but not least, sweet and strong Heather with a bus full of kids. They are on their way back from a field trip.

The residents of Jericho are living their normal lives no matter how complicated and simple they may be. It’s an ideal town to follow through this catastrophic event. Let’s see how they cope, adjust and survive the times ahead.

Discussion:

1) Gracie imparted some local gossip when Jake visited her at the store, who were these people she was talking about?

2) What was the name of that rich girl we all love to hate. Her family, we later find out, owns the salt mines

3) What does the quote by Jake above mean?

------------------------
We’ve got 22 full episodes – 22! That’s almost double of what we had with Miracles. So we did get a treat even if we now see an end to this promising series. We’ll get by and we’ll find our own closure. By now we are so good at filling in the blanks, this should be painless compared to the cancellation that CBS had tactlessly gifted its devoted viewers.

We will rehash the story and keep our senses delighted with Skeet scenes, memorable quotes, find hidden or missed innuendos from each episode and yes – of course – Skeet close ups and screen captures. Forget CBS.

Coming up--- The bombings and aftermath….

Finale

This day brings anticipation and dread for most of us. I think we'd enjoy this season finale episode if we only knew what will become of it after the summer. I think we all are having attachment issues, it's hard to fall in love with a series (and character --you-know-who!) and let the network execs pull the rug under us after one season.

Message to the CBS execs: The plot thickens, the story can grow in so many ways. Unlike some of the other series that sprouted this season along with Jericho, the episodes do not drag because it had to stretch to its final week with a grand finale. Case in point, Heroes, it suffers the same fate as Lost, the story is showing signs of being stretched to its full capability as a story line. As the story in Heroes would like to end with the prevention of a catastrophic explosion, Jericho has gone through that and from the start has shown promise. We see all types of real human personalities, good or bad, come out of a desperate attempt for survival and inspite of the adversity the audience still get to see lighter moments/scenes that are bordering on comedic at times. What more can you expect from a quality series than Jericho?

I know everyone's crossing their fingers and praying for a positive outcome. Let's keep our hopes up and give good vibes now. For the summer, we will entertain ourselves with the Jericho episodes this season. And for those of you who basically drooled and got distracted on Jake and neglected the other parts -- er- I mean, other characters -- what say you? Watch out next week...

Outstanding performance by Skeet in this scene.

Inside the Walls of Jericho

I encoded the clip from E! Daily 10 for those who do not get the channel. Skeet was absolutely adorable as usual.

The show tonight was amazing! I will have caps in the gallery tomorrow! Kay also scanned in her copy of the TV Guide article for the gallery and you can see that here >>!

SF once again it is sooooo good to have you back! Thanks again for bringing everyone together! *hugs*

Jericho Screen Caps, Skeet Audio Clips

Skeet caps from yesterday's episode, AKA, have been added to the gallery. It was an excellent episode and it sounds like the last four are going to be just as action packed! We are getting down to the wire and I hope we hear soon that Jericho gets a green light for a second season!

See all >>

Also Skeet was busy yesterday doing a lot of different radio interviews around the country. I have managed to hear about three of them thanks to lgl, Kay and my alerts. I have added an audio page to capturingskeet to try and keep track of all the audio clips. You can find the three new ones, along with some others all here >> I love when the radio personality ask him new questions and don't recycle the same old ones. There are some great moments in the clips. I have no idea how many interviews he did all together but if anyone comes across more please let us know!

Skeet on ET Canada

Geesh, now I am double posting... I had been out all day and just opened my mail and there was a package from lgl with Skeet's appearance from ET Canada!! I encoded same and here it is for everyone to view. Thank you so much lgl for sending that to me so we could share with everyone!!



I will upload it to capturingskeet in the next couple days for anyone who wants to have a savable copy!

Is it just me or is that not him in the Into the West clip? I think that is Tyler Christopher who plays his nephew.

Jericho Screen Captures, Save Jericho

Well since no one else is posting at the moment... Hello my name is Kelly, and I am a Skeet Ulrich addict... ;-)

Skeet caps from last Wednesday's episode have been added to the gallery.


See all >>

There are lots of articles out there about Jericho being down again in the ratings. I really wish there was more we could do. I ran across a site for Friday Night Lights in my Jericho searches, I have never watched the show but it is always mentioned in the same articles as Jericho regard the cancellation possibilities both shows seem to be facing. Anyway, FNL fans are doing a campaign, a very original and brilliant one see here, to show their support for their fav show. I feel like we should be doing more for Jericho but I just don't know what. I have been emailing CBS and getting everyone I can think of to email them and watch. If anyone has any ideas at all beyond that please share!

One last thing, an article came through my alerts yesterday but unfortunately you have to be registered and pay to read it. This is as much as it shows:

Still Time to Save "Jericho" and "Lights."
(Author: Column by Susan Young|Date: April 6, 2007|Publication: Oakland Tribune)

NOT TOO LONG ago, Skeet Ulrich came to the Bay Area to pump up some interest in his faltering series "Jericho." Sitting in Grumpy's down by the Embarcadero, eating runny eggs and sausage, Ulrich says he doesn't hold out much hope that his series will get a second season. This despite the fact that the show was an early favorite. "I think when we went into that long hiatus, we lost momentum," Ulrich says. Source Link. If anyone comes across this article, could you please post it or a link. Thanks!

Skeet has a feature in the April issues of SciFi magazine and I scanned my copy today! Ironically he is quoted talking about the same entertainment type shows that we were all unhappy with yesterday and today.

"This show succeeded without the Entertainment Todays and the Access Hollywoods, which typically cover the new shows that are doing well. They really haven't paid attention to us. I think that says a lot about our show and the public." Skeet

More Skeet Photos!

I added more pictures to the gallery from the William S. Paley Television Festival and also replaced some with HQs (bigger Skeet is always better) and you can see them Here and Here! Also the web admin from Ashley Scott Haven was kind enough to share with us some of their pictures they had of Skeet and I have added those to our gallery too! Very nice!

The caps from Wednesday's episode have been uploaded into the gallery and you can see them all Here. Sorry about the quality, the episode was quite dark.

There are a few more updates at http://www.capturingskeet.com. Sorry I get a bit carried away when it comes to Skeet. :)

Heart of Winter, Jericho

Caps from tonight's episode have been loaded. To anyone who has not seen the episode the caps may be a spoiler so please be warned! :)

I am not sure about anyone else but I absolutely adore Gerald McRaney and the episode tonight just solidified that adoration even more. I am so glad that Jake chose his Dad to confide in because I just love the scenes between Skeet and Gerald. What a tear jerker tonight was. I can't wait until season one's DVDs come out so I can make proper caps. The rest of the caps are Here.

I scanned in next week's copy of the TVGuide, "Jericho's Bad Boys" and you can see those Here.

I also added four more HQs production stills from Jericho that my friend sent me and you can see those Here.

Just so it doesn't get lost, Kim found a great new interview Skeet did... there is that ball cap *lol*. Link: Click here.
