Well, at least they had a dream, and it came true for a season: CBS (NYSE: CBS) has canceled the post-apocalyptic drama “Jericho”, the second time this has happened in two years. The first time it got canceled due to low TV ratings, the passionate fans led a protest online and forced CBS to bring it back. It has been a popular show on CBS.com and iTunes.

But on TV, the second season’s Nielsen ratings were even lower than the first…the March 25th will be the last show.

According to CBS: “Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this program; we simply wish there were more…We have no regrets bringing the show back for a second try.” According to THR, this does not mean the show couldn’t come back on cable, but the high cost of the production, however, will likely prevent a continuation of the show.
