Don't have cable myself, but I like hearing about Deadwood.

I haven't seen this week's episode of Deadwood yet, and may avert my eyes from this until I can catch up this evening.
That said, I've been watching The Corner, David Simon's pre-Wire show, which focuses (thus far) on a single family torn apart by crack addiction. It's lacking in The Wire's levity, although solidly written (and somewhat less solidly directed). Rather depressing, actually.

Well, I'm subscribed. I only have Showtime and I don't even know which shows are found there, but I figure if I poke a nose in here occasionally I might just find something new and interesting to watch. Which channel has Deadwood?

Also, ELSWORTH!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!
I think my reaction was, FUCKERS!
Also, could the theatre people just go away already? We don't have that much time left and they're wasting what little we have.

Amen. I've been enjoying some of Brian Cox's scenes, but not the ones with the troupe and not enough to make up for the time-suck the rest of the troupe scenes have been.
I did like the talent show a few weeks back, but that's because it allowed for some good character moments from the townspeople.

Heh, as I said in the Movies thread (in whitefont), I expelled a very loud "FUCK!!!!" at my TV when Ellsworth got shot. On rewatch, I wanted to reach in an pull him out of the way.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't get the premium channels. Really I'm just here for the cursing.

I have premium cable, and I don't really watch the shows. I find most of them too bleak and/or the characters too unpleasant.

I ain't even NAFDA, but I like hearing about Deadwoood and tend to watch premium series on DVD.
