There's a new show on CBS ( I lied Ice, it's on CBS not NBC) called Jericho. It's about a small town, that witnesses a massive explosion somewhere in the distance, and then the town itself is plunged into chaos as the shockwave reaches them. They assume someone bombed Denver.
I missed the first twenty minutes, but the rest of the show already has me skeptical that this was a bomb attack, but more after I summarize.
Skeet Ulrich was simply going to this town to get the money his father owed him. Driving towards Jericho, he gets caught up in the explosion, and ends up waking up sometime later. Eventually, he finds a bus of kids, and performs an emergency trach on one child, and tries to start the bus.
Meanwhile, back in town, the cops are going to go look for the kids. The go to assemble, when a black guy (whose name I never caught, cause I don't think he gave it) who was a cop from St. Lious offers some help. Now, I am extremely wary of this guy, as he points out lots of useful advice, but they never take it. The police leave and find a bus, but not the school one, they find a bus full of dead prisoners.
The next scene shows the dead cops and aguys walking away with their clothes.
Then it shows another kids replaying an answering message over and over again, which has his Mom saying she'll be back in town in a couple days. In th ebackground, the father is yelling, something like "Honey, come see this, something huge dropping out of the sky", then after some screaming, the line goes dead. The kid goes over another house when electricity goes out, and you find out his parents weren't in Denver, but in Atlanta.
The school bus arrives in town just as a riot over gas is broken up. And that was the end.
Or so we thought
The next scene shows some random female driving down a road. She hears, what she thinks is a flat, and she pulls over to check it out.
Turns out she ranover some dead birds.
The camera pulls back and the road, and the surrounding countryside is full of dead birds. (Which means radiation posioning is coming. The first thing that is affected by that is birds).
The story seems interesting, with sufficient twists and surprises, (I'm thinking the black man may have been another prisoner) that may be able to carry this story a full season.
Hopefully, it stays as good.
It's on Wednesday nights at eight on CBS
