Help save DEADWOOD
HBO Cancels Deadwood = We Cancel HBO

HBO seems to be forgetting who it is that pays the bills. As loyal fans of DEADWOOD, our only real voice is our hard-earned money. It would be grand if HBO listened to their subscribers wishes, instead of ignoring them. But alas, this is not the case. Instead we get half-truths and "spin" from the public relations office that is intended just to make us go away. Which leaves us with but one option to make our voices heard. Let them know that quality DOES matter.

Asking HBO nicely to renew DEADWOOD will not get the job done in and of itself. In the words of Al Swearengen: "Sometimes, if you want a donkey's attention, you have to bring a pole down between his ears". We are not cattle that are obliged to feed on whatever HBO feels it wants to give us.
