CBS drama Jericho seems to be down for the count again; the show is largely rumored to be headed for the cancellation bin, despite delivering a second season that was far more even, suspenseful and interesting than the first season proved to be. So forget the teak outdoor furniture and start investing in nuts to send to CBS again?

Not likely. While the nut strategy worked last season, it’s unlikely that the show will be saved this time; thanks to the strike-shortened season, any show the networks have any amount of faith in at all are being renewed. If Jericho isn’t among that number, its chances of being picked up for a third season are about as remote as the chances of Floyd “Money” Mayweather would have in a real fight, outside of a WWE ring, against Paul “The Big Show” Wight.
