Carnivale Closing Its Tents

Jesus... bad news about the best show on television. I honestly don't know what the hell is wrong with TV executives... it's like there's a pre-promotion tradition of beating them around the head.

I suppose I just have to mark it up as another in a long list of excellent shows that were killed before their time (Futurama, Firefly, et al) and before they had a chance to explore the promise that they displayed (Dark Angel, for example).

I suppose this year has actually been pretty good for television on both sides of the Atlantic - Lost and Veronica Mars are both excellent freshman shows. The new Doctor Who is great in all sorts of ways, and Family Guy makes a welcome return to our screens. The loss of Carnivale tho' is a major blow.

I guess it's time to start collecting personal effects for my own HBO Executive voodoo doll.
