What could have been a perfectly reasonable premise for a TV series, ruined by stupid Hollywood PC think. Jericho had such promise and devolved into such dumb crap. I wonder if the writers were soaked with repressed rage over the war in Iraq, or if they were so cowardly that they only villain they were willing pin the blame on for nuking America, was America! We nuked ourselves? Good grief.

I still have hope for the TV show, Falling Skies, though. The first season which ran last year never bumped up into anything offensively stupid. I have my fingers crossed for the next season starting this June.

The Walking Dead is worth watching too.
