11. I would do, if they:

1. Speed it up a little - I just got bored waiting for something to happen

2. Get rid of the kid who plays the main character - I just don't like him (didn't like him in T3 either).

5. Wow, pretty elaborate questionaire..... here are my feelings about C.

It's ridiculous to have every scene always motiffed a la Dorothea Lange depression era style, right down to the dirt and sweat on everyone's face constantly.

I love the characters but the little man is the one in the show, often over the top on his delivery.

I watch it but... it is paying the price of being too innovative and bold for its own good in respect to having a story unfold VERY SLOWLY...

Personally, I think it will find an audience.. maybe not this time....and will end up being a cult failure that is talked about for years.... Kind of like Twin Peaks but it will never be rerun.... tooo tooo slow....

7. TV execs are spineless, opinionless, bottom line folks....

Problem is, they all buy into Nielsens which in my opionon is the biggest bunch of big brother bullshit that s been perpetrated on the AMerican public. But hey, if you're gonna watch so much tv regularly, you're not worth saving anyway!

9. There's nothing on TV to watch. I'm down to 3 shows now.

Simpsons, King of the Hill and Will & Grace. The only other things to watch are Bill Moyer's NOW and C-span.

8. I voted 'not likely to watch'...

Same reason as others who have expressed displeasure.

About the eighth or so episode in, after another gross atrocity executed on some character while the other dirty faces looked away, I realized that Carnivale was a reality show.

yes, '30's Depression-era reality.

Much, much too real and depressing for me to continue to look at, especially without anything more compelling to wait for besides the ultimate showdown between Good and Ee-vil.

Ho hum.

15. They have other options?

Maybe more than 6 episodes of Six Feet Under a year? Bringing back Oz? Carnivale's the primary reason I keep HBO.
