This essay is about the active audience participation that is occurring on official show websites or sites that are created by fans. One example of this is the CBS show Jericho, which was cancelled after season one. It began with regular fansites but it was then realized that extreme action had to be taken for their voices to be heard. Fans sent huge cases of peanuts to CBS in Los Angeles until show execs answered back and saw just how loyal they were to the show. While Jericho ran for a second season, an official site was available online with forums and production updates as a way of keeping viewers informed. Jericho came back for a season two, but was then cancelled again.
