I thought it was one of the best shows to come out in the last few years. If you enjoy seeing a show reach such an incredible creative peak and then cut out from under you after two seasons (sound familiar) then Carnivale is for you. Amanda is right...the pacing of the first season is pretty slow, but the second season takes off like a freight train and doesn't stop. I think the main reason the pacing seemed so much faster is because the first season set everything up and then second season had so many f-ing plot twists it rolls right along. I picked up the first season on E-bay and according to the little flier that came with the final season of Six Feet Under DVD, the second season will be out on DV some time this year.

 If you have cable tv and your provider is COMCAST you can go to "On Demand with Comcast"

they are showing season 2 Carnivale now . Rob and I watch all of them in one night.

I just ordered the soundtrack to Carnivale I really enjoy the music to the show.

I will have to watch this show some time, as I've heard so much good about it.

Also heard that 'Rome' is a good show.

I just purchased and watched the second season of Carnivale. I watched the first season religiously, but during the run of the second season I was in a position where I was unable to see a single episode.

 After the second season ended it's run on my dvd player, I was more than a little steamed that it was cancelled. Sure, itr was the most expensive show on TV and didn't have the viewership that Sex and the City and The Sopranos had, but that could be due to Carnivale being something completley original and unlike anything that had ever been produced for television or in the cinema before.

 Velouria and I have been scrambling all over trying to find any information on a proposed third season or how the story could continue. There were talks about a four part mini-series and a movie for HBO. But this story certainly needs considerably more time to give it's cast of characters their due and to give it's story the justice it deserves.

 It hurts when such a breathtakingly original show is cut short. The dvd special features on the second season have some priceless moments between HBO producers and Carnivale's creator about how terrible it is when you're reading an 850 page book and someone comes along when you are 0n poage 400 and chucks the book out the window.

 I've looked for information and hints that Carnivale may be resurrected in some form in years to come. I am not holding out hope. If anyone out there knows something or hasd any information regarding the continuation please let me know. I'm just a bit heart broken and trying not to sink into denile.

 Thanks.

Carnivale kicks ass!!!!!  The Lynch influence is everywhere from lighting, music, plots, etc. Seasons one and two are out on DVD. Check it out

Carnivale was fantastic.  Clancy Brown blew me away and when I realised it was the same man who did the voice of Eugene Krabs in Spongebob Squarepants*, I wanted to lick his face over and over.

*Yeah ok, so it took me a while to realise.  Bear with me, I'm British...

My theory by A. Elk, brackets, Miss, brackets. This theory goes as follows and begins now. All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine, and it belongs to me, and I own it, and what it is, too.

I thought the original Danish version of Kingdom Hospital was much better. You can get it on dvd it's called Riget.

Also, I think Carnivale is one of those shows you can't just watch part of to "get it". You definately have to be in it for the long haul. And I think the second season was really amazing!!!! 

**possible spoilers** if you haven't seen all 24 episode, I wouldn't read this...

I watched one of the featurettes on the second season DVDS (currently I am 7 episodes deep in my re-watching of season 1) and at the end there was some mention of what would happened had there been a season 3. First off, the creator Daniel Knauf described the final confrontation between Ben Hawkins and Brother Justin as the "first battle" and that as avatars they were in their adolescent stage. Interesting, huh? One of the writers went on to describe that season 3 would focus a lot on Sophie. Considering she is the Omega, there is some good in her as well as evil, even if she is the daughter of Brother Justin. Appearently, only avatars can be men and females ones have different names. That is why Lodz was saying "That's impossible" when he was talking to Apollonia near the end of season one, because Sophie is a female avatar, which isn't supposed to be possible. Also, women who give birth to avatar usually go loopy in one way or another, like Apollonia, Sophie's mother for instance. So, in season 3, Sophie's internal struggle would be the hallmark and since she raises her dear daddy from the dead at the end of season 2, it would have been interesting to see how that would have played out. That is all for now.
