Skeet Ulrich thanks 'Jericho' fans

Jericho star Skeet Ulrich has thanked fans whose campaign was credited by CBS with saving the show from the scrap-heap.

Ulrich, who plays Jake Green in the drama, said he was "so thankful to our fans for not only their passionate support but their tireless efforts to revive our show."

He told E!: "The whole cast and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to be together again and I look forward to the chance to give back to the fans with more of the story that brought us here."

Ulrich's character uttered "nuts!" in the show's first season finale to a suggestion that the town of Jericho surrender to a nearby municipality. That word prompted fans angered by the show's cancellation to send over 25 tons of peanuts to CBS offices in New York and Los Angeles. The network said that it will donate the nuts to charity.
