The people working on Jericho have always been vocal about their gratitude towards their supporters for their efforts to revive the series for another season.  Fans will be thrilled to know that the cast's words of appreciation goes beyond the camera, as described by crew member Phillip W. Palmer, who attests the noticeable change of attitude among its cast and crew.

“The attitude and overall mood is fantastic.  Our first days back were like the first day of school after the summer break.  When the cast and producers returned from Comicon this past weekend, we all gathered around to hear the stories.  They were blown away by all the fan support. We're so happy to have been part of this project, and amazed by all of the fans.  We stayed in contact with each other after the cancellation, and during the save Jericho campaign.  Constantly emailed links and YouTube videos to each other, in total fascination of what was going on.  The Jericho fans are really responsible for bringing us back, it's your season,” Palmer revealed.

Palmer, who currently works as the show's production sound mixer and who has been in the field of sound mixing since 1999, has admitted that working on Jericho has been a lot of challenge for him.

“Lots of machine shops, trucks and warehouses… You'll hear all sorts of things like machinery, back up beepers, sirens, trucks, radios, and all kinds of chatter.  During the day, this is what you hear on Main Street Jericho.  In order to give a good clean track for editorial, there is a lot of noise to keep down while recording our dialog.  It's quite a challenge sometimes.  Oh, did I mention all the air traffic...Every project has these same challenges, make a noisy place sound like a quiet place. Sometimes we pull it off...and sometimes not,” he revealed.

Filming season two has also involved a lot of long days for the cast of Jericho.  On the other hand, Palmer expects production schedule to be even more demanding in the future.

Though the cast seriously devoted to work, they still find time to unwind and have fun with each other.

“We have been known to get together every once in a while.  We are pretty tired after a hard week at work, so most of us run home to our families.  There is the occasional screening party, wrap party, and BBQ. We have a regular get together as the Jericho Gun Club, always good fun,” Palmer added.
