Anyone else intrigued by these shows? Seeing as The Sopranos is gone for who knows how much longer, I see these as decent alternates.

HBO Deadwood Official Site
It's about a small town back in the old Western days.

HBO Carnevale Official Site
This one is about a small carnival but evolves into Good vs. Evil.

Never got into em...they seemed boring but I never really watched em, I just didn't think they looked very good but I like the Sopranos, probably one of my favorite shows (though I think the last two seasons were kinda lacking).

Go watch LOST on ABC. Best show to come around in years. New episodes start airing this Wednesday, actually.

Oh man, Sopranos is the shit, dude. That's the only reason I'm looking at Deadwood and Carnevale, since it's on hiatus. Otherwise, it's Sopranos all the way. JayD has a huge Sopranos thread here somewhere.

Sure beats that Sex in the City bullshit.

one word

smallville........hahaha


no seriously watch 24 owns everything

Deadwood is great, the saloon owners favorite word is "cocksucker."

Yeah, that guy is something else. Last night's episode....ummm....ouch....

Carnivale is awesome... last night was the last episode for 9 months, and that's if they even decide to continue the show. It's really dark and suspenseful. Great casting, and a really original premise IMO. Also I like historical shows and this is set in the 30's.

I believe JayD started a Lost thread somewhere here in COR...but it's just that....LOST.

Checked out both Deadwood (done season 1 and 2) and Carnivale (finished season 1 last week).

Both of them blow any other TV show out of the water. Lost or 24 don't even hold a candle to either of them, even though I like those 2 shows as well.

Right now I'm watching Season 1 of The Wire...another HBO great. I gotta say, as entertaining as Sopranos was/is, these 3 shows are much much better.
