I just cancelled my HBO subscription over this and 432 other subscribers in my area all signed a petition to cancel theirs. We WILL be sending complaint letters to HBO about this. We were extremely angered over this in the first place and now that the movies will not be made our ire has become more of complete outrage. It left the story completely without a true finish. When one watches so diligently and pays a premium to watch the shows then they are entitled to more than this for their money, which is why I will not be giving any more of my money to HBO. If there are any shows I wish to see from HBO I will not pay for them…..”nuff said”.

Thanks a lot, HBO. You screwed up one of the very best television shows with that lame, poorly written finale script. Anti-climax would be a compliment. This ending was a beginning. All questions, no resolution what so ever. Don’t get the fans wrong. We don’t want a tidy, sewn up tight script, but this last show was insulting. Shame, shame on you. That city, those characters, deserved better treatment.

Although the cancellation of the HBO original series Carnivale was the biggest disappointment I ever suffered from a television show termination, I was able to kind of see the reasoning behind the decision. It was created to run six seasons, needing all the episodes to properly tell the ingenious story created by Daniel Knauf. On the other hand the suites at HBO dumping Deadwood with one season remaining baffles me. Why not finish the story, fellow show Six Feet Under was granted a fifth and final series after posting dismal ratings in the previous season. It can’t be money; Rome ran about 100 million a season that garnered similar ratings to Deadwood. All I can think of as the main reason(after seeing previews for upcoming series) is that the relatively new leadership is steering towards more human emotional shows dealing with characters that possess less depth and intrigue than ones on period dramas Carnivale, Deadwood, eh possibly Rome too. They want shows filled with gratuitous sex (Tell Me You Love Me) as not to challenge the viewer with anything creative or anything. John from Cincinnati is done, a decision I’m not really upset at, while Big Love gets a third season.

I to cant believe that they (HBO) is not going to put Deadwood back on or allow the movie to be made. I agree with flooding them with questions and I will be cancelling HBO at least til they put it back on.

I think they will be sorry they cancelled this. I bought the series and showed it to my 89 y.o. mother. At first she was startled by the language, but then she became really hooked by the plot and characters. Now every time I talk to her she asks me about a follow-up movie or series.

Deadwood has its raw points, but the human motivation is understandable and well developed. It is a show that gives some different insights about places where the law is failing (like Iraq, which people in the USA could greatly benefit from better understanding right now).

It’s too bad they took it off. I wonder if one of the other networks could legally pick it up?

Very sad… I just finished watching the last episode of the last season and can only hope that the two movies are made! Otherwise, it will be one more of HBO’s crazy decisions in the past few years.

Just finished watching the last episode on DVD. Deadwood was the best TV series I’ve ever seen. Although it may be difficult to get the cast together, it would be in Milch’s (and HBO’s) best interest to give us more. PLEASE!!!

We need to campaign again! Fans of Deadwood need to unite and flood their offices like we did when they canceled the show. I can’t believe they canceled the best show on TV to make that John series! And they think fans are going to just roll over when they screw us over? It’s really ungrateful to do a series and not end it properly for the fans.

I enjoyed Sopranos.
Deadwood and Carnival were the 2 other best shows on HBO. Now that John from cincinati is gone may be deadwood will be resurrected

This is one of the best shows ever on TV. Why would HBO quit when they have such a winner?? Everyone I know loves the show and all were guessing what was going to happen next—a big war between Woo and the San Francisco C———-? So many story lines to work on. Resurrect the show–a guaranteed winner!!

I’m glad I’m not the only one out here that would like to see more of Deadwood, The Wire, Rome and Carnivale. These shows are great while John from Cincinnati is the one that needs to be cancelled. It is just stupid.

Deadwood and Rome, the 2 best series on TV are gone. What a shame! Now it looks like the Deadwood movies won’t happen?!!! If it weren’t for Entourage HBO would be kicked to the curb like, well, the 2 best series on TV.

I just knew HBO was going to do this to us. I’m glad I cancelled it when I did. They’re not getting any more of my money.

That too bad. Deadwood and The Wire were the best shows on HBO. I love David Milch but John From Cincinatti is just painful to watch.
