Scrivener Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 It's getting late into the year and HBO has not yet made a decision on the fate of Carnivale. For the uninitiated, Carnivale is the most spectacular television show ever to grace a television screen. I've said this about the The Prisoner, and then LOST, but Carnivale transends even these. Carnivale is bloody MAGIC. Netflix the Season 1 DVDs. After seeing just the first two episodes I ran out and bought the box set... then subscribed to HBO just for Season 2. According to the shows creator, the story arc is 3 seasons long... especially after the Season 2 finale, it's painfully obvious there is still a third act left before the story is finished. I can't bear to be left hanging like I was with Millenium - 1 season shy of getting my answers. It's the very reason I subscribe for heavens sakes. If you would like to help save this wonderful show, please visit the HBO forums, send them email, and write them letters. One more season - that's all the fans are asking. http://boards.hbo.com/index.jspa?categoryID=5
Kevin Trotter Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 I havent seen it. I dont want to see it now, preferring to watch season 1 on Netflix first.Scriv get used to it, the better a series is, the greater the chance it will be canceled. People like crap, anything thought provoking that requires any investment from the viewer, is scorned like Michael Jackson at the Kid's choice awards. I try not to get to enamored with any series since me liking it is usually the Kiss of death. If its not a cop show, medical show, lawyer show, or a cop-lawyer-medical show John Q Public aint interested. Network tv is so aboniminably bad it is scarcely worth watching.I Tivo these network shows: Lost, Veronica Mars, Las Vegas and West Wing. Of that group only Lost is worth watching every week. Veronica had promise but may have already jumped the shark, West Wing out a habit I guess and Las Vegas...because the four female leads are just too hot! particularly Vanessa Marcil(?) That is why like you I am disappointed that Cable networks are beginning to act like thier network bretheren. Showtime alone has axed a number of promising series.I hope that HBO doesnt make the same mistake with The Wire and Carnivale.
