I'm still upset the show got cancelled. Seems like every show that interests me on HBO gets cancelled way too soon. Al Swearengen was definitely one of the smartest, strongest, and most devious characters ever on television.

Al was brilliant. I bought the book published about the show, it went into the history of Deadwood. The real Al Swearengen would have a $100K come through his saloon in one night. Must have been a hell of a time, very, very rough people.

HBO does piss me off about jerking shows around. Deadwood was supposed to be for at least 2 more seasons, they cancel it and say they will produce 2 2-hour shows to close out the series. I'm not holding my breath on that one.

They also jerked Carnival and ROME (liked Rome as much as Deadwood).

Flight of the Conchords is on now, it's hilarious.

Big Love is on too, and I am hooked. Absolutely fascinated with the story and the culture. If you haven't checked it out, it is worth a watch. I really relate to the main character played by Bill Paxton, but then they do something that is out of left field that cracks me up. One example is when one wife tells her sister-wife, "Our husband's dating life is none of our business." It's fascinating.
