Science fiction doesn’t fare well on television these
days, at least not on the main networks. Not since
Star Trek in the 60s has one made much of a mark. Star
Trek’s early days were marked by the not-always hidden
agenda of human rights. The multi-cultural crew caused
quite a stir. Now, the cause-celebre is taking care of
the earth, a major point of last night’s Jericho, a
post nuclear holocaust drama. It was also a part of
three of last year’s failed sci-fi shows. Can Jericho
survive on its seemingly slim premise? CBS sure hopes
so. Will such programs make the world more aware of
global warming and, more importantly, do something
about them? We should all hope so.
