Carnivàle: one of the best shows, not on television

I made this post because I want everyone out there who hasn't seen this show to go watch it. you will not be disappointed. except maybe at the way it ends... I just want to get the word out there to people. I didn't see any other threads discussing it. anyways...

when this show first aired on HBO, me and my friend watched it and we both agreed that it was something special. however, I never had access or the time to follow it. but it never left the back of my mind.

recently I decided to get my hands of them and watch all the episodes I missed. only to find out that it was cancelled. I wondered if I should bother watching it at all. knowing that if I did love it I would probably just be angry that it got canned.

I decided the hell with it, and I ended up watching both seasons over 2 days. I just couldn't stop myself. it was one of the best pieces of entertainment I've ever seen. and now, well... I'm angry. lol

I cannot believe it got canned! it's not fair that this would get kicked off the air while all these other lesser shows seem to keep going. people seem to enjoy watching reality television over something interesting. I haven't been this pissed since Arrested Development got canned.

however there is a bit of hope left. HBO has been seriously considering a mini-series, or movie or something to finish off the storyline. and recently with shows like Family Guy, and Futurama being picked up again (albeit not as expensive to produce) it doesn't seem that unlikely to me that in the near future it might get picked up again.

I want people to know about this, so as to help bring it back.

I would just suggest buying the DVDs, but most people won't do that without seeing it first. currently HBO is airing repeats of it, and you can get it off torrent sites.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

good news: seems the season 2 DVD sales on amazon.com, bestbuy and other online stores are very healthy. last I checked it was rated #7 over just a few days. even season 1 was going up the charts, from around 12,000 to 700. hopefully HBO will take notice of this fact and revive the show.

it could happen!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I know online petitions aren't always a very good way of getting things done. but everything helps. everyone should (please!) take 5 minutes of their time to sign this petition. it would be greatly appreciated.

and for people who haven't seen the show, get out there and give it a try. it's really something special that was unfortunately just never given the attention it deserved when it was on HBO. but ever since it's cancellation there has been a growing fan base. he part of the revival!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
