Deadwood's R.I.P. has fans up in arms

SPECIAL TO THE STAR

HOLLYWOOD—David Milch, the creator of HBO's Deadwood, says the show couldn't have been done on any other network, and that's probably true.

(snip)


Of course, HBO has always taken pride in running apart from the network pack, hence its marketing slogan, "It's not TV. It's HBO.'' But as the abrupt death of Deadwood makes clear, HBO is behaving more like a regular network these days.

HBO revealed this month that, because of money considerations, Deadwood, one of the network's top four original series after The Sopranos

Outraged fans, who were expecting the fourth season, promptly organized a show-saving campaign, with some demanding a "cancel HBO" boycott (for details, see savedeadwood.net)., will most likely end its run with the third season, which starts June 11. (It's seen on TMN in Canada.) Although HBO did not cancel the show, it allowed the ensemble cast to pursue other work, effectively spelling the end of the series.

(snip)

By all accounts, the network did not wish to pay the Deadwood actors' contracts during the months spent waiting. Milch, who seems genuinely excited about Cincinnati, said that Deadwood is a costly show and does not produce the high ratings Sopranos does.

He confirmed that Albrecht offered to approve six episodes rather than 12 for a Deadwood fourth season — in the TV industry, a "short order." But the writer-producer rejected that because of bad experiences with short orders on series such as Hill Street Blues. And with that, Deadwood was dead.

The series' puzzling end has left militant fans seeking comfort in the words of — who else? — Swearengen: "The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man — and give some back."

I already burned one, just in case they did not release the DVD until 2007 when the new season starts.

I really want to like Deadwood but it just does not do anything for me. It's like they are trying too hard. They should just stick to the story and omit trying to gross everybody out with the language. People forget that during this same period of time, most of the men in this country, even those who ended up in the gold fields or robbing banks, learned a stylish form of speaking and a depth of vocablulary that is completely unknown today. This was excellently portrayed in True Grit. The actors of Deadwood are showing the strain of doing 10+ takes of each scene, speaking lines over and over again where practically the entire sentence and every sentence is the same four-letter word. You can only do that so many times before your lines all start coming out flat. So I have not really been able to get interested in what is going on - they are all saying the same thing and that is boring.
