If According To Jim is the comedy show that will not die, Jericho might be the drama.

The canceled CBS drama (saved by a nut campaign which helped it come back for short second season) is not only airing Sunday nights on The CW (and getting better ratings than some shows the network has had on that night), they're going to make a big-screen movie. Producer Jon Turteltaub tells IfMagazine.com that a feature film is indeed in the works, and that the original cast will be back.

Turteltaub says he plans to make a movie that even non-fans of the show can go to and understand and appreciate. It always scares me producers say stuff like this. I don't want them to make a movie will no reference or allusion to what happened in the show. How will they demonstrate history of the characters and what each character means to another and why this character treats another character a certain way? Not that I believe they can actually do that.
