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

*blush* I started watching it because it's on before The Evangeline Lilly
Show--I mean, "Lost."

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.

IE, there's an airstrip there with at least half a dozen planes, and
apparently nobody thought of taking one up to try flying to the next town.
(I suppose the EMP would have disabled them, but that was sometime after the
whole thing started.)

They even had a B757 lad on a freeway,

Unless the tanks were bone dry, there's fuel on that-thar airplane that
could be scavenged for light, heat, etc.

How stupid can TV writers be?

I really liked the original "The Day After" promise of the show but I'm
having difficulty getting past the writing myself. I lose patience fast
when all the characters are stupid, even if the premise is interesting.
