Update Time

Hey fans-

So we’ve passed the one-month-left mark. Can you believe it? In less than four weeks, we will have wrapped production. Time flies when you’re making TV, but these weeks went especially fast, I have to say. The good news is, we came up with some great story ideas for episode 7 today, at which point Carol asked for a time-out to, quote, “acknowledge the awesomeness” of what we’ve done with these seven. It was bittersweet, to say the least.

At the moment, we are close to having episode 5 in the can. 5 features some gunplay, so there’s been lots of shots ringing out around the stages today. It’s Skeet Ulrich and Lennie James doing the shooting, but I can’t say at who. If I had to pick one word to describe the stories we’re telling this year, I would say “intense.” Seriously, these episodes are like missiles. I don’t want to rack the bats, so to speak, but I think you, the fans, are going to be very pleased. Not to mention jonesing for more.

Alright, I’m passing the baton to Lisa Schultz now, she’ll continue the cheerleading in style. When “Jericho” finishes this month, Lisa and I will have worked together for close to five years. Yet another reason for Season 3, as if we needed more.

Hello Fans! As you can tell, Robert Levine is a wonderful writer. I’m very proud to work with him. He wrote Episode 4 this season and it is a remarkable piece of art.

Today, I’ve been cowering under my desk. The gunshots Robert mentioned that are coming from the stages are very realistic and quite thrilling, much like everything else on Jericho. I don’t want to get too close, though. I’m afraid of guns. I’ll wait to watch what I’m hearing today when it airs on CBS in the spring (or maybe sooner!) I hope you all turn out to watch it too! Lots of love to all of you.
