HBO's "Carnivale" $20 a season @ Amazon
Sorry if this is posted already. I thought this was too good of a deal to pass up! I picked up both, along with the pre-order of "Spaced"! ;-)

Yeah Carnivale Season 1 & 2 were really good. Except for the fact that the end of Season 2 really warranted a 3rd Season but HBO cut it loose. The problem was it wasn't one of those shows you could just jump in mid way and understand. I think it never picked up viewership as a result and thus got cancelled. Damn it. I felt empty and unfulfilled at the end of Season 2 and thus will not buy these sets and relive that again.

And don't get me started about Firefly.

I certainly don't see any replay value in owning it. A rental at best.

Just stop. They're not going to finish the series.
