LOST-alike Jericho Cancelled

Looks like CBS's half-hearted attempt at a LOST-like serial drama is no more.

Truthfully I think is a good thing.  Jericho could have worked.  Problem is they had no direction until right at the end, just when it started getting good!  I was getting Others deja-vu when the war with Newberg started!

On the other hand they started going to blatant LOST-isms like flashbacks and even so far as to copy the unmistakable LOST *BONK*....  and going to the mid-season break format so many other shows are doing, LOST included. (Well, not any more!)

Killing off one of the most-likable and arguably main characters didn't exactly help either I think.  It was a valiant effort, though!

Can LOST's "format" (if there is such a thing) be copied?  Is it a jewel unto itself?  I'm only just now starting to watch Heroes, the "other" LOST-alike, and really can't get into it as much.
