SciFi Wire reports that "Jericho" is dead - and fans don't like the way it closed out:

CBS, which canceled the post-apocalyptic series Jericho last week, posted a statement in response to fan outcry that the show ended on a cliffhanger and promised it would wrap the show up in some fashion.

I don't think "Jericho" merits that level of outcry, this is an "own goal" kind of problem. Whedon always wrapped a storyline at the end of a season to avoid this problem - and it looks like "Heroes" is doing the same. Other writers could learn from that.
