CBS reportedly considering drama as replacement for failed new show; Jericho could be on within weeks.
While much of the talk this season has been about season premieres for returning shows and series premieres for brand-new fare, one returning show is still waiting for its break. CBS's Jericho, still giddy from its well-publicized last-minute reprieve from cancellation, is waiting in the wings for its seven-episode second season.

CBS had originally planned to have the sophomore season of the cult favorite air during the midseason, which would mean an early 2008 premiere.
However, fans may see the fruits of their nut-tastic "Save Jericho" campaign pay off even earlier. Jericho is being eyed by the network as a possible replacement should one of CBS's new shows fail and be canceled, according to TVWeek.com.
Jericho's shortened season--one of the caveats CBS had in bringing the show back for a second run--has already wrapped and is "ready to go," CBS scheduling head Kelly Kahl told TVWeek.
Should one of CBS's new hour-long shows--such as Moonlight, Kid Nation, Cane, or Viva Laughlin--get canceled, CBS may opt to get Jericho up and running rather than fill the vacant slot with repeats. And if the history of shows getting axed within weeks of their premieres is anything to consider, that could mean Jericho may return to television soon.
Of the aforementioned new CBS shows, all have debuted except for Viva Laughlin, which premieres in its regular time slot on Sunday, October 21.
As for the people behind the show, they'd love to see it get back on television immediately. "There's definite concern [about viewer interest waning], which is why we hope to get on the air as soon as possible," show creator Carol Barbee told TVWeek.
