Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Anybody watching "Deadwood" on HBO?

God I love that show. I'm thinking I like it better than "Sopranos". Vulgar, violent and nasty - just what every guy is looking for, right?

i love being the first guy to get to respond to a question.

answer-NO.. i dont have HBO.. i think the $50 bucks i pay for regular cable service is a rip-off already. i aint gonna give them no more money.. seriously thinkin about going to DirecTV.

have never watch deadwood.

my cable bill is 80. It hurts bad every month... I'm trying to put a plan together to migrate to another solution. Problem I have is HDTV. it's true what they say, you start watching programming just because its HDTV. the cable company charges me 9 bucks extra each month for each HiDef box. Ouch!

BigWill:

I watch Deadwood, and I love it too, awsome show!

BigJohn:

I couldn't agree with you more about cable. Cox just raised their rates again, and I've had all I'm going to put up with from that bloody company. I'm checking into switching over to satellite as well. Not sure who I'll end up going with though, I just know that cable through cox will be history soon.

Blah, Blah, Blah....try having one english speaking channel. The good part is I havent seen a commercial in 2 years. But if I want to see a football game I have to stay up all night the late night games in the States usually end over here aroung 6 am. The thought of being able to change channels and see different shows..MMmmmmm ignorance is bliss..no?

My parents live in Deadwood (the real town it's based on). And it's exactly like the show!

actually one of the few shows adelphia cable does show in HD and 5.1. looks and sounds great. my wife goes to bed when it comes on.

Hi all,

I kinda like Deadwood--the look of it, the nastiness and the vulgarity, although the latter is a bit over the top and one of the epithets (a common one) didn't in fact come into regular usage until after the first World War. Calamity Jane is something else!! Talk about a potty mouth. . .

The story line meanders a lot (not all that compelling) and why did they kill off Wild Bill Hickock? Strong character, etc.

But I usually tune in. Yes, cable is one big drag, but being in a dense urban location, I have no alternative, unless I move out to the country and put up a big HDTV yagi antenna on a mast. If you get a good signal, over the air broadcast HDTV can be stunning. I resisted HBO for a couple of years, then went for it. It has been worth it for The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Six Feet Under.

Regards,

Alright! I'm glad I'm not the only one that watches that show. Would hate to see it cancelled due to lack of viewership.
