Deadwood was consigned to history last night. no longer the best show on tv, it's now just a contender for one of the best shows of all time. it has the advantage of not overstaying its welcome, which can be a big help because it prevents your show from running out of steam.
deadwood was gritty, violent, complex television. it wasn't for everyone, but I loved it. They canceled it because it was too expensive, and HBO didn't want to fund an entire season. they offered the creator (David Milch) a half season, and he said no. and that was that.
they are filming a new surf show tentatively titled "johnny from chicago" w/ the money they're saving. (the creator of that show? David Milch.)
a show about a transplant from chicago that takes up surfing? that sounds sweet, bro. if tv show is anything like my roommate that moved out here from St. Louis, johnny f. chicago will want to stay in shape, so he will buy all the stuff to surf (wetsuit, board, etc), and then he'll get fat. coincidentally, that's the same thing all my surfer roommates did. I guess you actually have to get in the water more than once a week for it to be effective exercise.
who knew?
