Actually the script writer is trying to establish how uncivilized Deadwood was at that point in history and how rapidly it changed. If HBO gives him enough seasons the intention of the show is to DRAMATICALLY clean up the language and look.
It could be worse. Greeley could be in Congress like that 60s Irish-American left-wing priest whose name, like Greeley's characters, is unrecallable.
I like your sense of humor.
Just quoting the producer of the show. That's why he picked that town and that time in that town's history. Civilation came to Deadwood fast and hard. If you want to show an area getting civilized the first thing you have to do is show it as very uncivilized, basic dramatic techniques.
Andrew needs to get wacked.
Was he ever priest?
The Sopranos isn't as good this year as past years, IMO, but over time it's been innovative and quite brilliant. It also paved the way for the whole current slew of "gritty" more true-to-life TV dramas on the free networks, a welcome change from the pablum of yesteryear.
Tony Soprano would say that any self respecting journalist who used an AOL email address was an effin' pansy.
And he'd be right.
LOL!! Do you mean Kennedy?
The funny thing is that Mary Jo Buttafucco has been back in the news lately, and she is so like Carmela Soprano in style and attitude it's uncanny.
There should be a HBO series centered around the Lavindar Mafia in a Catholic seminary including an episode of Cardinal McCarrick, another modernist POS, sleeping with young seminarians. The perverts.
Greeley's own mystery novels are full of sex and violence.
What a hypocrite!
He claims to know who killed a Milwaukee priest and that it was a "hit" ordered by an Italian cardinal.
But he never went to the police or the FBI with his information.
Silly old woman, he is!
(There is something perverse about the show. It makes us -- or a lot of us anyway -- cheer on the evil characters, and that's disturbing.)
I can't speak for others but I have a theory that the reason this show is so popular because these 'people' live by a very strict code of honor which is missing in everyday life and when it is broken, there is swift justice, which is something else that is missing. They also put a lot of stock in loyalty and family, something else which is in decline in this country.
They believe a man's word should never be taken lightly and if it is broken, there is a price to be paid, just ask the kennedy's.
Also no commercials. That alone makes it far more watchable than network crap. But I think Rome has replaced it as my favorite HBO drama series.
Really! .. "glorifies violence" .. since when were the liberals upset about glorifying violence - WE SEE IT ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE PAPER EVERY DAY - and that's all we see - violence in Iraq - but then "Iraq is a quagmire and is about to descend into civil war" .. isn't that the mantra ..??
Fat, unnattractive middle-aged people leading lives filled with danger, power and sex?
No wonder the Sopranos is like crack for baby boomers.
As far as I know it still exists, and is still led-to the best of my recollection-by Umberto Bossi.
Best thing about the Sopranos are the promotional posters. Photos by Annie Leibovitz
He is kidding, right? Hasn't he seen most of the "gangsta" movies, videos, and hip hop style around us? Does this guy live on a farm in northern Siberia?
