Here's an update to our earlier news that David Milch had confirmed that Deadwood was, indeed, dead: Milch himself is trying to raise the $60 million dollars he would need to continue the series! I guess that HBO hasn't given a definite "no" to another season of the western, so Milch is trying to save the show himself. Milch says:
"I'm doing what I can ... any financial participation could take the pressure off. HBO hasn't said no ... if I were a gambling guy, which I am, I'd say odds are less than even money."
Milch says the actors were shocked that HBO said no to another season too. Stay tuned ...

HBO should continue the show. http://www.hbonomo.com/ has a list of Deadwood fans who are pledging to cancel their HBO subscription the day after the Deadwood Season finale.

Sign me up to cancel HBO if they drop Deadwood. I was looking forward to the season premier. How can they renew a terrible show like the one about the bigamist,Big Love, and cancel the best scripted show they have had in years. What are they thinking. Deadwood is better than the Sopranos, better continuity,better plot line and more complex characters. Al and Bullock would chew Tony and his crew up and spit them out.

this just makes no sense whatsoever, Joe you are right, and to add insult to injury it looked like a go for season 4 a few months ago. Like I said makes no sense.

I LOVE the show. Watched Season One about a year ago and watched Season Two the last three days. Deadwood is a show I could probably watch five nights a week for a year or so -- I'm addicted to it, the stories, the characters, etc.
I'm 56 and watch more movies than probably 95% of the people out there. I know good drama.

How in the hell can those HBO cocksuckers keep entourage on the air but cancel the best, most well made show I have ever seen. I mean the ratings are great, they are winning awards and everyone loves this show! So what in the Fuck is the problem!
