The new CBS show “Jericho” had stong ratings in its series premiere in Australia. The show was shown on Australias Network Ten less than 24 hours after its CBS debut. Season premieres usually start in January in Australia but Network Ten decided to premiere this show early. The show averaged 1.22 million viewers which doesn’t sound like much but it is a 41% share of viewers 16-39. You wouldn’t think a show set in the midwest of America would do so well but with its themes and the times we live it it seems to have struck a cord down under.
