The Jericho team were a trio of Allied specialists who operated as intelligence agents and saboteurs behind Nazi lines. Franklin Sheppard, of American Army Intelligence, was their commanding officer and chief planner. Jean-Gaston Andre, of the Free French Air Force, was the team's demolitions and weapons expert. Nicholas Gage, of the British Navy, was a former circus performer (high-wire artist) whose specialty was getting in and out of Nazi installations.

This show was created by CBS after the successful five-season, World War II TV show "Combat!" that ran from 1962-1967, which aired on Tuesday nights at 7:30 PM on ABC. It was canceled because they ran out of money and the show came out in color which took a lot of the viewers away. So ABC replaced Combat! with "Garrison's Gorillas." The show did great and CBS wanted to make sure that they had a series to compete with it, so they created "Jericho." Neither show got be as good as "Combat," though both ran for one season, but "Garrison's Gorillas" won with 26 Episodes and "Jericho" lost with only 16.less «

  Fast action, interesting interplay between the characters, a fun show. hide « show »

  While this show was only on for a season, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was only 10 at the time, so my memories are more than likely a bit foggy about the show. My biggest memories are of the character Nicholas Gage because I thought he was cute. I have to admit, the show wasn't "great" by most standards, but there was a lot of action which was fun for a 10 year old tomboy. I also remember there being some tension between the character Nicholas Gage and the character Jean-Gaston André, nothing major but enough that it stuck with me. Too bad the show only had 16 episodes. It was fun, and I would watch the show again, if I could.

  Do you agree?
