I finished watching the entire series two weekends ago, too -- the final three eps in pretty much one sitting.

Astounding how little sense this thing made. As much as I liked the "1's and 0's in Cass's camera" speech while John was in the fugue state, nothing else in the series held up to that kind of promise. I think Milch thought he had an original fresh idea on the place of faith in the unlikeliest of all settings, but couldn't translate the concept...

JFC was a waste. Better shows than this have been cancelled but were worth saving. Sheesh... bring back Rome, Carnivale, or Oz even, but not this. Please!

Egg-actly. We ran a full page ad in Variety pleading with HBfuckingO to save Deadwood...didn't work. Face it, they don't give a crap.

These are the people who don't give a shit about Deadwood fans, do you think they'll really care about appeasing the JFC fans (all five of them)?

DumpOut Weekend: Friday August 31- Tuesday Sept 4

There are so many great ideas out there about what to do to show HBO that we want another season of JFC. So no matter what you choose to do, or where, let's all do SOMETHING between Friday August 31- Tuesday Sept 4.

Postcards, teddy bears, 1's and 0's (paper, house numbers, etc.), petitions, letters, phone calls, protests, sit-ins, monad posters,...

I guess if THE WIRE were more popular, HBO might not give the OK on another police drama.

Milch doing another cop show is Milch dialing it in and just collecting a paycheck. IF he's so "exhausted". why doesn't he just take a year off and come back with something original? He's done enough cop shows IMO. So what if it's set in the 70's? There were enough cop shows actually done in the 70's. Thank fuck for Showtime and F/X. I'm over it.

a man who was "recruited as a soldier while he was overseas, to come back as a disaffected veteran and infiltrate the antiwar movement, as a shortcut into the New York City police force as a detective."

And by mid-season, he's left the force and joined the war protestors? yawn.....

When the cop project was first put into development at HBO, Milch described the protag as a man who was "recruited as a soldier while he was overseas, to come back as a disaffected veteran and infiltrate the antiwar movement, as a shortcut into the New York City police force as a detective." He also called it a "tragic story" because the main character had to pretend to disavow his beliefs.

Milch had already used this for Sipowicz's...

I always got the feeling JFC was trying to duplicate the 'feeling' you got from Twin Peaks --- very much into mood and atmosphere and not so heavy on plot. But where Twin Peaks soared, JFC sank. The writing was just awful, the concept awful, the acting by Rebecca DeMournay was awful. I watched every episode hoping it would live up to HBO standards --- it was more disappointing the Carnivale. It's like they wanted to make a new "Six Feet Under" without actually...

HBO and David Milch are prepping what could be the scribe's next project, and it's a return to familiar territory: the realm of New York City cops.

Sources said the creator will develop the project about a Vietnam veteran who returns to the U.S. in the early 1970s and joins the New York City police force. Story is loosely based on the experience of longtime Milch collaborator and fellow "NYPD Blue" exec producer Bill Clark, who is...

One bright side here (hopefully) will be that Milch's next project will actually be good, as he won't think he can coast on DEADWOOD's popularity.

They should have started by coming up with a better title than "John from Cincinnati".

Hopefully this will serve as a wakeup call to networks and writers that you just can't treat your viewers like marks at a carny.

John from Cincinnati was crap. And they bitched that Carnivale didn't progress fast enough for HBO standards........WTF......didn't they learn from that?

Just north of the border, in a tired coastal town, live three generations of the Yosts, surfing royalty turned society misfits. The Yosts' reign and reputation, once defined in the curl of a perfect wave, have been eroded by years of bad luck, addiction and hubris. But just as things are looking like they can't get worse, a stranger named John arrives and the Yosts' banal existence is lifted into something profound, miraculous and, possibly, universal...
