Comments from across the pond: I have to say that I and thousands like me feel sad at the loss of such a great show, particularly in light of anything decent to replace it (I mean – Lost..what's that about).

Lets finish this thing off even if it is one more series – we need closure.

Deadwood is the finest entertainment production to date. The acting is raw, pure and rare. The writing is on par with any in history. The lighting, set, costumes, sound, photography and editing have not only been elavated to the pinnacle of todays technology but more importantly have been held their. The entire effort is unprecedented. As it happens HBO was the most likely film company for the phenomenon to have occured. While HBO had the means to produce Deadwood they apperantly do not have the vision to recognize film making genius. I subscribed to HBO when I discovered Deadwood. I canceled when they stopped production. I will subscribe again if production resumes. Before Deadwood, HBO never produced anything I would buy.
They produced Deadwood. It was a fluke. They don't even recognize what they have made.

I just finished watching Episode 1 again on DVD and remembered back to the first time I came across this show as my wife was catching the first 3 re-runs. I have NOT been glued to a series on TV-of any kind- or pay TV since I was in my teens, but Deadwood made me a "TV HOOKED LIKE ON CRACK" WATCHER. Why in God's name did they, Milch, whoever, stop this show? What were they thinking, what were they drinking? It certainly wasn't whiskey at the Gem, if so the show would still be on. If the folks at HBO, Milch, the actors all thought about it long and hard they'd be back at it. By the way, isn't the basic law of economics "supply and demand"? Don't these folks get it that there is a "demand" here that they were "supplying?" Swearenger would surely understand that, wouldn't he?!!!!!!

Without Doubt Deadwood was the greatest show I Have ever seen on TV when I saw episode 4 of season one I was absolutely hooked for a Tv Show absolute Genius .
I never missed another episode, the Creator of this show could easily run this Forever for Me, McShane and Brown were Terrific, its such a shame Directors & Producers don't Know what the have until they have dumped it.
There is so much sh-t on tv now i cannot believe something of this Quality is finished…A Very Disappointed Scotsman

I agree with most everyone that Deadwood was without question the best show on tv period. I would never have hbo as a premium channel again unless Deadwood returns. What the hell were they thinking getting rid of Deadwood and putting that piece of crap JFC on the air. Mr. Milch PLEASE make things work out for all the Deadwood fans, and thank you and your staff and all the actors for a great 3 seasons. It would be nice to see the story continue for a few more seasons.

I SUBSCRIBE TO HBO BECAUSE THEY PROMISE TO DELIVER, WELL THEY DON'T. HBO IS NOT CHEAP AND IT'S 97% CRAP, IF DEADWOOD IS DEAD, SO IS HBO! "JFC" WAS A JOKE! DAVID MILCH HAS LOST HIS MIND AND POSSABLY CANNOT DIRECT. WHAT ELSE HAS HBO GOT TO OFFER? I'D RATHER WATCH INFO-MERCIALS ALL EVENING. GOODBYE HBO I'M GOING TO THE BOOKSTORE!

I am not an amarican. I enjoyed Deadwood. According to Milch Deadwood was "Birth of America and Birth of civilization". I hope they expand it to 2 more seasons.

I don't have HBO since they cancelled DEADWOOD.
I would get HBO again if they make the 2 movies liked they PROMISED!
I would also like to see GERALD MCRANEY in the movies.
He was robbed of an Emmy nomination this year.
Ian IS Al. Ed is not.

BRING ON THE MOVIES AS PROMISED HBO and MILCH!!!!

Sopranos, Deadwood, John From Cincinatti, The Wire, and a few Showtime efforts- pools of clean water in the vast television desert. I hope the powers that be, and the egos, see fit to bring Deadwood back. I'd much rather be challenged, and poked, and puzzled, and disturbed by the likes of Milch( yes, praise be to JFC,also- absolutely) then sedated by the rest. However, if Deadwood is really gone, and John From Cincinatti was really too idiosyncratic even for HBO, then I still can't wait to see what Milch comes up with next. I'll be watching.

Thanks for the update. I'd love to see Deadwood return to HBO, and was wondering when that would happen.

JFC wasn't a total waste of TV time- it's only a total waste if NO ONE likes it. I for one did. It was no Deadwood- for certain- but except for the reused actors it wasn't trying to be… Two greatest shows ever- The Wire and Deadwood…

Without Deadwood, I don't need hbo. I do like Big Love but not as much as Deadwood!!!!! I Like Deadwood more so than I ever liked the Sapranos. Oh by the way John from Cincinatti-terrible, ridiculous, a total waste of tv air time.

Thank you for the update. We certainly hope that Milch and HBO work something out to get this fantastic show on the air again. HBO is a wasteland of at the moment and could use the caliber of Deadwood gracing its screens.
