The special features on Jericho: The First Season are fairly typical extras these days. Most of the episodes have deleted scenes, commentary, or even both available to watch. The sixth disc also has two mini-featurettes. The first is called “Building Jericho” and is a behind the scenes look at how the first season of Jericho was made – from audition tapes, to building the back lot, special effects, and even how fan feedback affected the season. The next feature is a mini documentary called “What If” that looks at possibilities of actual nuclear attacks in the past, present, and future. It chronicles the history of nuclear weapons with stock footage and interviews with various people. The feature also discusses responses to disasters, with Hurricane Katrina being a big example of how it can go wrong without a plan in place.
Technically speaking, Jericho: The First Season is in widescreen format, enhanced for 16:9 televisions. The sound is Dolby Digital English 5.1 Surround with options for subtitles in English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
I highly recommend Jericho be added to your DVD collection.

Much agreed. Skeet is ridiculously good-looking, a VERY underrated actor and very articulate in his interviews. I'm still waiting for the next 7, and season 3 CBS!

Theres no other show like JERICHO on the air. The comparison to LOST is only applicable in the early episodes. As the series evolved it was clear the rest of the country and the world was still there but the world had clearly changed and millions were dead or dying. Indeed the most important aspect of JERICHO is the question as to what would become of the world, America and our families if terrorists set off nuclear bombs in American cities from coast to coast. Would the country fall apart? Or work together to rebuild? Would anarchy reign? Or would the good in people win out over selfishness?
I definitely added JERICHO to my DVD collection, its one of only 3 series I own DVDs for. All the rest are movies.Its that special.

Nicely done, but you skipped somebody! Out of all characters, the most compelling was Phil Constantino, played to chilling perfection by Timothy Omundson. Although the return is in Jericho, you have to watch to see if Jericho's former mayor survives!

I've been a dedicated Jericho fan all year. I watched the entirety of Season 1 on DVD in three weeks and I'm ready to start over again. A few of the songs have been changed, apparently due to licensing issues, and the special features seem a little skimpy, but overall I give this set a good solid "A". Can't wait to see Season 2 and beyond!
