Is anything worse that the HBO series \u201cJohn From Cincinnati?\u201d Tonight is the season finale and with any luck, it will also be the end of the whole mess. I can hear it on in the other room, where the husband is watching it. He knows it\u2019s awful, but I believe that he keeps hoping it will somehow redeem itself. We loved \u201cDeadwood,\u201d and it\u2019s hard to accept that the same writer could produce such abject garbage.<\/p>\n

The executives at HBO must feel pretty stupid by now. Maybe David Milch, the series creator, is getting even with them for canceling Deadwood. Either that or his brain has fired its last coherent synapse. \u201cJohn From Cincinnati\u201d is beyond drivel. It\u2019s beyond shit. I don\u2019t even know what to call it! \u00a0 I\u2019ll just try to be thankful that it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n

I can hear the episode ending now, with a blast of Little Richard\u2026\u201cRip it Up.\u201d God, yet another slight for Little Richard to complain about. If I never hear the name \u201cButchie\u201d again or see the ravaged face of poor Rebecca De Mornay, it won\u2019t be a moment too soon.
