Make that lucky 13 characters with Jericho's return

Thanks to a reader's response I am adding No. 13 to my list of TV shows.

13. "Jericho" (CBS) -- Deaf actress Shoshannah Stern has played Bonnie Richmond on the sci-fi show for two years, and according to my informant is beloved character. Stern comes from a fourth generation deaf family and American Sign Language is her first language. I know her from her role on "Weeds" as Silas's girlfriend, but that was in 2006, so it wasn't in the 07-08 season for purposes of my list. I hear "Jericho" is an excellent show and am glad fans got it back on TV, but I just can't bring myself to watch people struggling with the possible end of the world. :-(
