Just a word from Switzerland.
Excuse my english.
I’m sad by reading this news. I have discovered HBO on DVD with the great show that was Band of Brother. Then, Deadwood came to us… & Rome too. I’m just sad… Could somebody take this work to an end…. even if Deadwood does still exist:-^ ?
Mention spéciale to Ian McShane. French people gave him the dubbling voice of Robert DeNiro/Nick Nolte/Mel Gibson… for this show. French People Love this actor.

Deadwood dead? I can not believe it. Have the common sense to at least give it some sort of ending. I am finished with HBO. My parents have had HBO since the start, and I have been a paying customers for almost 20 years. Not anymore.
I am canceling HBO because they have lost it. Leaving customers out in the cold like this is the last straw. Goodbye HBO, I hope you learn from this mistake.

It is with shock, dismay and disgust that I write this. I’ve just learned that DEADWOOD has been pulled. DEADWOOD was an epic, brought to life through stunning scenery and scintillating acting of a superb cast.
I have ended my subscription to anything HBO, I have instructed my agents to sell all stock I hold with HBO, I will not be associated with such a dumb ass company.
The Muppet’s, no disrespect to Kurmit and Co., in control are placed by and under the influence of a moral minority who advised these gutless idiots to dump the show because “It Shows the US in a bad light”; cant have government officials appearing corrupt now can we.
HBO is dieing and these rats will soon be jumping ship (keep an eye on the press, particularly the money press). Wherever they go, shift your investments because their task is to control and not to provide what we view. To any other stockholders in HBO, read the money press and you’ll see what I mean. My message to you is to get out now, HBO stock is falsely high and will soon be falling sharply so help kill them off sooner than later, cancel all HBO subscription and sell, sell, sell while you can, you dont have long.
LONG LIVE SHOWTIME who are the new HBO.

I think HBO sucks and I am cancelling any further ado with them. I am sure they will miss my money.

Well, all I have to say is with that to, goes down HBO! This is finally the one thing to me that signifies the dimise of a Once Great Network. They are finally putiing there retarded plan in to action- to ruin there own network by matching there NOW shity shows with the actual actions of tearing down the sets of great shows.

The tearing down of the Deadwood set is clearly PHASE 3 of the HBO “retard plan” to KILL any plan to bring back a great show, that could have saved their network. It was the only 1 solid gem that could have saved them after The sopranos ended.

We need not worry though, because while the boys at HBO clearly have their head’s up each others asses, Showtime is clearly on Phase 3 of it’s plan to masacare HBO!

While those idiots at HBO have been busy running their network to the ground , Showtime is clearly making some great shows- DEXTER, Californication, WEEDs, THE TUDORS, BRotherhood, are all top notch. The ratings speak for themselves. Almost all of these shows have have a 9.0 rating or more.
It almost seems as though the “It’s not tv, It’s HBO” has moved over to showtime. The show Dexter alone has a higher rating than The Sopranos.

I am trully sad to see hbo self distruct, I have been a huge fan of Rome, The SOpranos, Deadwood,& Entourage, but for me it’s not been a huge loss, I have discovered Showtime and at the same time realized that it has balls to start a multiple great shows, FINISH them , and take a risk.
Something HBO use to do.

Anyways, I feel like a weight has been lifted I finally can move on. Now that I now it’s trully over, for Deadwood and HBO life can go on. Darn, what a shame.
