Has anybody been watching the new TV shoe, "Jericho" on CBS Wed. nights?

It is about a small town in northern Kansas, after nuclear devices have
been set off in Denver and several other US cities. The town is
"isolated," but the apparently have a small airport, which was the scene
of some happenings in tonight's episode.

The scriptwriters and producers are so stupid that they don't realize
that people would use the planes to contact others and help to establish
communications with the outside world.

They even had a B757 lad on a freeway, rather than use one of the many
5,000+ ft runways available in that area and ahd a commuter plane crash
near it. How stupid can TV writers be?

Well an EMP hit last night which I'm sure fried the electronics. EMP from
the original blasts could have also had a pretty hard effect on electronics
in the airlines that crashed.

What bothers me the most about the show is not the unreality of the aviation
but the fact that the general population would probably be a stupid as they
are portrayed on the show.
