Title: John from Cincinnati cancelled.
Post by: Stocky on August 14, 2007, 06:43:12 PM: HBO is fucking distinguished mentally-challenged. Cancelling the best shows on television, and for what?

The fucking assholes get paid out the ass with their subscriptions.

And I can't believe dude stopped working on Deadwood for that piece of shit John From Cincinnati.

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on August 14, 2007, 06:56:19 PM: Watching Season 1 of Carnivale was the worst mistake of my life

I love period pieces and tarot and mysteries but that show was just awfully, awfully paced

What's not to like about Deadwood? Veronica Mars is in it later!

Post by: Saint Cornelius on August 14, 2007, 07:11:51 PM: I think season 2. No wait - checked imdb - she's in Ep. 8 & 9 of season 1.

Post by: TVC15 on August 14, 2007, 07:16:44 PM: She is? Come to think of it, I don't think I have watched Deadwood since I first watched VM.

I'm hating because I wasted 12 hours of my life watching that boring-ass show for like 15 minutes worth of plot development. The series "proper" doesn't even start until season 2 but by that point I was all, "fuck that bullshit."

It's the same reason I don't watch interminable shonen anime. I expect a certain ROI from my entertainment. Carnivale didn't deliver. AND THAT'S WHY IT GOT CANCELLED, BECAUSE IT WAS SLOW AND SUCKY AND BORING.

Post by: Stocky on August 14, 2007, 07:24:53 PM: Deadwood was a great show, and I was pissed that he moved on to John From Cincinnati. I ended up enjoying John, but I would've preferred Deadwood.

Carnivale was cancelled because it didn't target a huge audience like some other shows, but it was fucking amazing. The fanbase sent in a shitload of tarot cards in hopes of HBO bringing the show back.

They've talked about Deadwood movies and Carnivale movies, but I seriously doubt the actors would take part in them.

Out of all the shows on HBO that were cancelled, Big Love continues? What the fuck?
Title: Re: John from Cincinnati cancelled.
Post by: Saint Cornelius on August 14, 2007, 07:25:18 PM: Big Love is pretty good, seriously.

Post by: Stocky on August 14, 2007, 07:29:24 PM: eh, I'm not a big fan of it. It has nothing to do with my views on polygamy, because I would love to have those three wives.

I just thought that the show was grasping too hard for a plot that it ended up carrying the show further than it needed to go. If they could stop the entire storyline with the prophet and move on from there, I'd watch it again.
