I am in the midst of watching Season 2 of HBO's Deadwood.
This show is awesome! Al Swearingen has to be one of the funniest characters to ever grace our television screens.
Anyone else watch Deadwood?
I took a road trip to the actual town of Deadwood about a year ago for some sightseeing & poker. Good time. It's like a mini-Vegas (Nowhere near as cool, but there's about 30 casinos in a 1 mile radius.)

I've watched both seasons and I love it.....incidently was'nt there a nasty rumor floating about that it was going to be cancelled?
If they(HBO)cancells it then they should really burn in hell....really.

Well, not cancelled really. It's just ending. 3rd season will be the last full season and then they will wrap it up with 2 2 hour special episodes.
A show like that can only go on for so long because it's based on facts. After 3 seasons, ya sorta start running out of the good stories. Plus, by the end of the 3rd season, Dakota Territory should be a state, so the lawlessness will be gone too, making it much less interesting and much more like any other town back then.
Side note.... I've been to Deadwood & it's awesome. Great little poker town and only about 10 hour drive from me, so it's great for a long weekend roadtrip. There's probably 30 casinos on a 1 mile stretch of road and you can still go to Nuttal's #10 Salloon where Wild Bill got shot. (I played a poker tourney at that bar while I was out there.)

The first season was great, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the second. I've only seen the first two episodes so far, so maybe it picks up a little. But even if it doesn't, the first season still stands as some of the greatest television ever.
And now, for a message from our dear friend, Al Swearengen:
"Cocksuckers!"

Unfortunate but just aswell,I suppose it's better to have ended on a good note(of their own accord)as opposed to being cancelled from receiving piss poor ratings.
