In
Sympathy, We Remember
Well, ladies and gents, it’s been a year since we learned of HBO’s decision not to renew Carnivàle, and the grief is as fresh now as it was then. Whether they want to admit it or not, we think the execs at HBO are suffering, too (Did you SEE The Comeback??). We think now is the perfect time to let Chris Albrecht and company know that we feel their pain and that we’re still here for them. Let’s send them a sympathy card to comfort them and offer them some redemption. On May 9 of last year, Variety reported the news of the cancellation. So, target your mail to arrive at the HBO offices by the same date this year. Below, you’ll find some postcards you can download to paste into an email, or print out to mail. Remember to sign your name and your location (especially important for our International Rousties to show that you’re in mourning, too). We ask that you refrain from any personal comments or rants so that our message cannot be misconstrued as threatening! We’re offering our support, after all! Okay, Rousties! Let’s shake some dust!! Chris

A Ride We Won't Soon Forget!! On a cool day in April, in California, the Carnivàle rode back into town and a great many of us were lucky enough to have been there. This was CarnyCon Live 2006 – a ride on the Colossus we won’t soon forget. More... For those who couldn’t make it, or for those who want to remember every moment, buy the DVD! A 4-disc set documenting the event is available at www.CarnyCon.com. What a great way to remember this fantastic weekend!! And don’t forget CarnyCon Souvenirs can still be purchased at www.CafePress.com/Carnycon!! Mike Ausiello at TV Guide didn't make it to CarnyCon. Why not drop him a line and let him know how it was? Don't forget to send along your photos if you can! Ask Ausiello link here.

Media Village and Dark Horizons make Some Waves Our email box filled to capacity last month as news of a 2-hour wrap up movie, and the possibility of another season, hit the newswire. Mediavillage.com and DarkHorizons.com both reported that HBO was planning a movie project to tie up the show's loose ends. As far as we know, the rumor is baseless. We asked Dan Knauf about it, and he was unaware of any such plan, nor were any of the original cast members appearing at CarnyCon. Sometimes a bear is just a bear, and a rumor is just a rumor. Sorry, folks, if you got your hopes up. |

Carnivàle as a “Talkie”
HBO hasn’t budged on their decision to resurrect Carnivàle, but does that mean we should give up? No way! Knowing the talent and entertaining appeal of Charlie Chaplin, would D.W. Griffith have given up? Carnivàle takes place in a time when Hollywood was taking its first steps to a Golden Age. What better place to tell the story than the big screen? It’s time to shift our attention to some film companies. Let’s pitch what we know will be a great story. more |

Carnivale named one of the top ten supernatural shows by MSN All atmosphere and sinister suggestion, HBO's original series puts the battle between good and evil, and light and darkness, into the Depression-era dustbowl where a supernatural sideshow rooks small town rubes when it's not battling the devil. read more |

Question: What are the chances HBO's The Comeback will come back? It's so funny! Canceled? "I don't wanna see that!" — Garrett Ausiello: Sorry, but I think the show is as dead as Valerie's career. It didn't help that the season finale was seen by fewer than a million people. Heck, Carnivàle pulled in more than 2 million and it got put down, but don't get me started on that. |

And why was our favorite show cancelled again? Because it was wonderful? |

HBO's Six Feet Under kicked off its farewell season Monday with 2.6 million viewers, down 30 percent from last year. And Lisa Kudrow's Comeback stalled in its second episode Sunday, falling from 1.5 million to 925,000 viewers. At least HBO still has Carnivàle. Oh, wait — they canceled that. (Still bitter, yes I am.) |
