Jericho



I'm sure you've all heard about Jericho. The post-apocalyptic drama which was canceled after its first season, then brought back with the help of the famous 'Nuts' campaign, and now canceled again.

Well, it looks like Jericho fans don't give up that easily. Since the second cancellation was announced, the fans managed to raise over 11,000$ in order to bring the show back. The money was used to place a full-page advertisement in Variety magazine and The Hollywood Reporter.
The campaign is still active, While the newest achieved goal is raising 7500$ for a billboard near CBS.
The fans know CBS won't renew the show again, so they're trying to make the studio sell the show to another channel.

Drake and Josh



The TV show Drake and Josh is a Nickelodeon show. Drake Bell (as Drake) and Josh Peck (as Josh) in this show. The show is based on when Drake's mom and Josh's dad decide to get married, making the two boys steps- who have to live in the same room together!
Drake and Josh are very different. Drake doesn't care about school, is a rebel (and is very cute!), and has all the girls flocking him 24/7. Drake likes to rock out on his guitar and has his own band. Drake is very lucky.
Josh cares a lot about school, is responsible, is a good boy, has bad luck, and is considered part of the 'outcasts' or 'uncool'. Josh works at a local movie theater where a lot of filming takes place. Josh is a huge fan of Oprah Winfrey.
Their little sister, Megan (played by Miranda Cosgrove) is very smart and clever, always making up ways to sabotage the boys' plans, often calling them 'boobs'. Megan is known for her huge collection of spyware equiptment. Her room is full of high-tech stuff- some of which can electricute Josh, record what the boys are saying, and videotape every room in the house. Deep down, Megan is trying to find where she fits into the family.
The theme song for the show, "I Found A Way", is co-written by Drake Bell and performed by Drake. Tune in to see Drake and Josh on Channel 45 Nickelodeon!
The above picture is of (l.-r.) Josh Peck, Miranda Cosgrove, and Drake Bell.

Lost



Lost is a TV reality show about a group of people who survive a plane crash on a mysterious tropical island. The show was created by Jeffrey Lieber, J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelo.
The show is basically about how the characters survive on the island, but they also have flashbacks. In most episodes, the story line will follow one character, past and present. They will flashback to show a choice the character made in the past (to show how it's affecting the present). Season One described in detail why each passenger was on the doomed flight.
Season One is about how they survive, but has some mysteries with the contents of a hatch, a mysterious creature roaming the jungle, and mysterious people called the 'Others'. (To see a complete listing of episodes in Season One, click here. Warning: Plot and/or ending spoiler.)
Season Two introduces 3 new characters and is played as beginning 44 days after the crash. (To See a complete listing of episodes in Season Two, including plotlines, click here. Warning: Plot and/or ending spoiler.)
Some of the actors and actresses on this show are Evangeline Lilly, Naveen Andrews, and many others.
The numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 appear many times on Lost, and are used as mysterious numbers, some believed to be cursed.

Disney

Roller coasters have always been a problem for me. There’s just something about being so high up and then falling that makes me nervous. My friend got me some Disney World Tickets and so we went there for some fun. I just got back from Disney World and my first time on a roller coaster. It was really scary for me when I was waiting in line. The ride seemed to touch the clouds, and I could picture myself up there, and then falling. But before I could talk myself out of it Mickey Mouse showed up and gave all of us high fives. It was a small thing, but just the thing I needed to get on. And let me tell you – it was the most fun I’ve ever had. All of my fears turned into excitement and I had to get back in line three more times.
