Television is a medium that thrives on manipulating audiences into tuning in, and no narrative device is more effective at accomplishing that task than the cliffhanger.

The long-awaited second season of "Jericho" finally premiered, and viewers get to witness the events that transpired after Jake's (Skeet Ulrich) now famous battle cry. It is a well earned victory, one that caused a massive peanut shortage throughout the United States.

"Jericho" returns tonight on CBS, 10 p.m. ET. When last we left our intrepid and resourceful post-apocalyptic mid-westerners, they were engaged in an all-out battle with the neighboring town of New Bern.

A representative for beloved TV star Delta Burke has denied she checked into a psychiatric hospital to seek mental health treatment.
