I'm a big fan of HBO, what with "Carnivale" and "Sex and the City" and "Oz" and "Six Feet Under" and of course the uber-obsession, "The Sopranos". And now they've hooked up my Sundays anew.
"Deadwood" is set right after the massacres at Little Big Horn, but that's not important right now. The important thing is Deadwood is not yet a federally-organized territory, it's gold country and it's every man for himself.
Of course there are the good guys, and the fictionalized-a-little famous guys, and the bigass mean spider in the center of the web- a sociopathic psycho dust-covered Donald-Trumpish saloon owner who also owns.... well, pretty much everyone in town's souls in one way or another.
I love a genuinely good Bad Man.

We're too poor for HBO, and Showtime, and Cinemax, and etc. (We can't even watch "Queer Eye" because friggin' Time Warner doesn't have Bravo in Durham...which is retarded since they have it in EVERY FRICKIN' OTHER SURROUNDING COUNTY!!!)
Oh...HBO? Well, we don't have that. I did see the Carnivale ads in magazines and I got mad that I wouldn't be seeing it.
No "Sopranos"? That's fine. "Sex in the City"? Never saw a single episode. But I really wanted to see this one :(. *sniffle*
Posted by: Tiffany at March 23, 2004 06:34 AMTiffany- I betcha that HBO, with its longterm financial eye on all things profitable, will eventually release both Carnivale and Deadwood for rental. Sadly, a long time after it's all gone from the airwaves, though.
But no Bravo? Man, Time Warner sucks.
"Get the Chinaman". Kick-ass show. Sticking the thingie through the guy's head wound was just wrong, however!
