"Rome" is excellent. I assumed it went another year, but really hadn't heard yet.Originally posted by SkinBasketI assume you watch Rome if you have HBO. I actually enjoyed Rome better than Deadwood. I think it's because I can relate to Titus. That and I think the cast is actually a tad stronger than Deadwoods.
I was never really a fan of Carnivale. Sometimes when you dip too far into mysticism, you kind of lose focus on what people can grasp. At that time of night, I'm usually drunk, which means I need clear, concise plots and characters, not riddles and confusing subplots. Fucking subplots.
Unfortunately, it is only scheduled for 2 seasons. Well, better 2 good seasons than 5 unremarkable ones.
The ONLY redeeming factor in "Carnivale" was observing the aging process on Adrienne Barbeau. That was a phony, ponderous piece of shit.
I really liked "The Wire". It had some compelling characters, good storylines, but then it tripped and fell. Kind of like the '89 Pack.
Watch "Entourage" after Deadwood. It comes off like a teen deal, but it ain't. It's got a lot of great adult themed shit and a lot of dark Hollywood humor. DON't watch that thing with "Louie" in the title. The whole point of the show is to have Louie's wife catch him jacking off.
Hey, maybe ya would like it!

I've never gotten into Entourage. My family watches it and says its good, but we really have a limited attention span when it comes to tv shows, so we have to be a bit selective. I always thought The Wire looked like a revamped version of 21 Jump Street. I could be wrong on that. Lucky Louie looks like some dipshit's pet project at HBO. I wouldn't doubt that Whoopie is behind it somehow.
Carnivale was one of those examples of why some control should be put on "artistic license." You literally had to do 4 hours research on every other statement made by a character in the show to understand WTF they "really" meant. After a while, getting drunk and watching the boobies was good enough for me. I don't think I even listened to the characters by episode 5. I just watched them run to and fro (especially the young, hot lesbians) and got the gist of it.
You forgot the mormon show. That one's pretty good. I enjoy a straight forward character driven piece."You're all very smart, and I'm very dumb." - Partial

All the HBO stuff has some merit.
My sister-inlaw was a "6ft under" freak. I looked at it, but realized I might get hooked on it.
Nip/Tuck was too pop for me. Titlization only.
Are there any other non-premium channel show that anybody digs?

Also, The Shield. Best Cop show EVER.
Battlestar Galactica (I know purists out there will whine about Starbuck being a girl, but hey, in the 1970s, Dirk Benedict was pretty damn close to being a girl. With that feathered back 70s hair, he looked just like Farrah. In fact, come to think of it, they never were seen together at the same time)
I'm trying to think of network shows I like. Lost, 24, My Name is Earl...and that's it. Prime time TV from the four and a half major broadcast networks

This is the Deadwood thread & I gotta complain to somebody.
This show is running outta gas as bad as any show since Nip/Tuck or 24.
The show last nite was the biggest piece of crap I've seen in years. Go ahead and go off the air DWood. I could now give a shit less!
They concluded several story arcs in the most dissappointing fashion I've ever seen. Get outta here & don't let the knob hit ya in the ass!

On a different note, what is Nip/Tuck? I've always wondered that.Originally posted by KYPackThis is the Deadwood thread & I gotta complain to somebody.

Nip/Tuck follows the lives of two Miami plastic surgeons, Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon). The show, while not strictly a soap opera, has some story arcs. In its 1st season, Nip/Tuck was the highest-rated new series on cable. It's an FX show and opened explosively and is now petering (accidental pun) out.Originally posted by PartialOn a different note, what is Nip/Tuck?

There were only so may graphic operations and 3 ways you can show before they get boring.
The one Doc was a pervert and the other one was conflicted. People get sick of perverts and troubled people, so the show is running out of gas.
