List of Jericho episodes

Title screen.

This is an episode list for the television drama Jericho. The program began airing on the CBS network on September 20, 2006 in the United States. For the first season, 22 episodes were ordered and separated into two runs of 11 episodes each. Jericho went on hiatus after the "fall finale" episode of November 29, 2006. It returned with a recap episode ("Return to Jericho") on February 14, 2007, composed of highlight clips from the first 11 episodes with a new introduction and conclusion added, both of which were narrated by the character of Robert Hawkins.The remaining 11 episodes of the first season were then broadcast from February 21 to May 9, 2007. Seven episodes were later ordered for the second season, which began airing February 12, 2008. As of March 18, 2008, 28 episodes of Jericho have been aired.

In each episode, the brief opening sequence features a black screen with the title "Jericho" imposed as if it were snow from a malfunctioning television. Behind the nondescript opening theme music, a different message in Morse code can be heard each episode. The messages tend to refer to specific characters or story arcs.
