So good series never get cut short? Carnivale won emmys 9 of them and was nominated for more, rated top 50 on IMDB so it does have a following.
Now take for instance West wing i don't like it but it doesnt mean its not good to someone.
My memory of Carnivale was that I liked it but that it turned into a bit of a dogs dinner. Looking back it was probably the result of the writers trying to truncate the story line so that it concluded in season 2. Same thing happened with Jericho. Sort of the reverse of the problem that Heroes and Lost had, where both had at least one season where they looked like they were marking time because they didn't know how to finish them. |

Twin Peaks is the worst for that. The second half of season 2 is utterly pointless. |

Heather Graham is reason enough for those episodes. |

Perhaps in the days before the internet... |

Downloaded Star Trek - The Animated Series last night to complete my collection. I now have every episode of Star Trek ever created. Currently watching STTNG for the second run through. I fucking love Star Trek.

I've just finished the two series of Game of Thrones and loved them, it sets up for Series 3 brilliantly appealing to every inch of my nerdability.

If we're playing "look at me I'm a massive geek" then I should mention how much I like Battlestar Galactica, Caprica and the last couple of seasons of Fringe. |

Loved Fringe, watched it from beginning to end at broadcast speed. |
