Why You Should Watch Jericho on CBS

The town of Jericho, Colorado has its problems. The tax levies apparently never passed so the underground fallout shelter is too badly in repair to shelter the town people. The subliminal message being paying taxes is a good thing. Particularly if some nuclear device is detonated near your town. So, other shelter arrangements are made. Some dynamite is exploded and everybody else seems to be huddled away in a house, the basement and the like waiting out the nuclear rain blast. The town which may or maybe not the last living place on the earth. A couple of troopers outside of town on the ranch are holding hostage Emily and Bonnie. There are also a couple of other people locked in the trunk of the trooper car. The two poseur troopers have guns and short attention spans. After making a break for it, Emily and Bonnie are nearly killed, but Jake comes to the rescue.

Back in town a relatively normal black family is huddled in a dark room that appears to be in the basement. The couple exchange some mundane words and they tell the young son to go fetch his sister who is sitting in her room upstairs. Cut to another scene another character has a map of the US and a box of red push pins. He proceeds to put push pins in and around Denver. Then a red push pin for a suburb of Chicago. Another in the area of Philadelphia. He then proceeds to grab a handful of red push pins and begins sticking them in a slew of places. All we hear is metal hitting paper. This must be some hint or foretelling of future episodes. Could it be we have another mystic median on our hands.
