I cancelled. I won’t miss any of their programming, not even Maher, and especially not the lame movies they show, over and over.

I have the Deadwood DVDs, and season three on Tivo, and TurtleGirl’s transcripts, which I’m printing and putting into binders, along with related Deadwood stuff. Have you seen the spoof Cracked did – 100 Acre Deadwood with Winnie the Poop, Kristopher Throbbin and Eyebore? It’s cute.

I’m cancelling HBO. Anyone else? There’s a thread on HBO’s site with people protesting and saying they’re going to cancel. I will miss Bill Maher, though.

Anyone have an email address for a VIP at HBO to get around their useless “Contact Us” form?

Been traveling so I just had my first opportunity to watch it tonight.

My initial reaction was WTF as were my 2nd & 3rd but I’m warming up to it a little more as I sit and reflect on what all transpired. Charlie had my favorite scene of the night and seemed to be the only c-sucker in town with a set of balls.

I have a feeling this film was already in the can by the time the decision was made to cancel and this episode was written as a season finale instead of one for the series.
