Let's shake some dust*

CARNIVALE (HBO) - With "Deadwood" getting an early season three nod earlier this week (read the story), the fate of fellow sophomore drama "Carnivale" remains in limbo. An above-average 2.4 million viewers tuned into the show's second season finale on Sunday, helping raise its season average to 1.7 million viewers. While that's behind "Deadwood's" average so far this season (2.9 million through four airings), it's slightly above "The Wire's" season three numbers (1.6 million on average). That series got the green light for a fourth season last month (read the story), despite its lackluster ratings.
Rhymes with clucking bell...
This is my favourite current show, which now appears to be headed to the dustbin of cancelled favourites such as Angel, Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, and my beloved Farscape (which series ending miniseries, The Peacekeeper Wars, didn't really satisfy me - it felt like something written by a devoted fan, not the original writers...)
Everytime there's a show on that actually makes you think and pay attention, you know that eventually it will fall too soon under the ax.
I really want to see a third season of this show. Just one more season to wrap stuff up...Please?

I think the main problem with "Farscape, The Peacekeeper Wars" was that they tried to wrap up 4 years of storylines in 4 hours. I still thought it was good, but it could've been much better had it been, say, a five-part miniseries rather than just two.
