JUST A DEAD JOHN

WHO KILLED “JOHN FROM CINNCINATI”? (HINT: It wasn’t Laura Palmer.)

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- The wave has crashed for "John From Cincinnati." A day after its first-season finale, HBO on Monday canceled the dark surfing drama.

Labeled by critics as "strange," "weird" and "unlikable," "John" never clicked with viewers despite a strong marketing campaign and such well-known leads as Rebecca De Mornay and Bruce Greenwood.

For the few devoted fans of the show, which David Milch ("Deadwood") created with "surf noir" author Kem Nunn, the mysterious final line in the season finale -- John saying, "Mother of God, Cass-Kai" over a shot of Kai (Keala Kennelly) surfing --will remain just that, a mystery.


THE MYSTERY IS WHY THEY AXED “DEADWOOD” FOR “JOHN”

David Milch and HBO dropped “Deadwood” after its third season to make “John”. The Author attempted to watch the incomprehensible series a few times, but could not. Watching the show was like watching a body decay. In slow motion.

And the show was a waste of some fine actors. Garett Dilahunt, Dayton Callie , Keone Young, to name a few.

NEVER FORGET THE FATE OF “COP ROCK” IN THE DESERT OF THE REAL!
