>>I did like "John From Cincinnati" for a few episodes but it got too weird for me. (And that's coming from someone who liked "Twin Peaks"). It never really found an audience and I wasn't surprised that it was cancelled so quickly. I suspect inheriting the Sopranos' time slot was both a blessing and a curse.

Me, too. I think the cancellation of "Deadwood" was mutual between Milch and HBO, maybe even more HBO's call (poor ratings).
