deadwood

The season finale of Deadwood was last night. It’s a show that takes place during the gold rush in the old west. Not normally my kind of show, but I really like it–it’s probably because of all of the cussing. And sometimes they do it in such a unique manner that you really have to be paying attention. I like that. Unfortunately, I can’t print any of the gems here because this is a family blog, but it’s definitely a show worth checking out. And, Al Swearingen is my favorite character since Tony Soprano.

I did learn one thing last night. In the days before television, apparently people sat in their living rooms–just as we do now–and stared at the drapes instead of the TV. Interesting.

Normally I am sad when the season ends for one of my beloved HBO shows, but another favorite, Six Feet Under, is starting up in a week along with Entourage and a new one called The Comeback (starring Lisa Kudrow). So, it looks like I’ll have something good to watch all summer. Thank you, HBO.
