A Different Perspective

Using the InnerTube player, you can watch the CBS series Jericho starring Skeet Ulrich from the pilot to the most recent episode.

Warning: This show is addictive.

CBS.com has risen above ABC.com, in my opinion, as their player offers a full screen mode and the episode continually plays after the one commercial (a small price to pay for free tv ) which only comes in two or three times an episode. On ABC.com, you have to click after the commercial is over. If you’re like me and you don’t sit directly at the computer while you’re watching the show, it’s an inconvenience to have to keep getting up to click. That seems like a minor thing, but when it comes to customer satisfaction, CBS.com has my vote.

There was a little bit of a pain at the beginning, because InnerTube uses RealPlayer and it was a bit of a hassle getting the plug-in installed on Firefox for Mac. But if you follow the instructions and do a quick Google search if you get any errors, all should be well with your internet viewing experience.

About the show (mild spoilers… so if you’re going to watch the show, just do it now without reading further!):

Jericho, KS is a small, midwest town with its share of interesting persons interwoven in this borderline science fiction drama. I say borderline, because it’s more fantastic than sci-fi. The basic premise of the show is survival in a small town after the United States suffers nuclear attacks in cities across the nation. At first they think it’s just Denver, then they find out Atlanta, and then… the list goes on and on.

I won’t spoil too much more for you. I will say that the characters arriving in the town shortly before the bombs should be paid close attention to. It’s hard to tell whether they’re the good guys or the bad guys. And just when you think you have it figured out, you start to wonder again.

Catch up with Jericho at your leisure, but at least watch the pilot if you haven’t seen this show. Check it out now!
