Dear John

Is the writing on the wall for premium cable heavy-weight HBO? The day competitor Showtime dropped the season 3 premier of Weeds and the debut of its new original show Californication HBO announced the cancellation of David Milch's John from Cincinnati.

I can't say it's a surprise. TV on the INTERNETS is just so in tune with the aura of television development decisions that we almost prophetically eulogized the show in last night's post linking to an interview with Milch, which we noticed was imbued with a sense of somber reflection.

A quote from Milch:

"[I am] grateful for the experience...My feeling is that you
can't waste a second on remorse."

God's speed, John From Cincinnati. Or whatever esoteric surfer slang can convey that spiritual metaphor.
