I could never get into the show but I know my wife liked it.... too bad it won't see a third season.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - HBO has pulled up stakes on "Carnivale," opting not to order a third season of the circus-set Dust Bowl drama.

Prospects for a "Carnivale" renewal have appeared bleak since the sophomore season wrapped in March; the show didn't increase its viewership, and series creator/executive producer Daniel Knauf already signed on to produce a series for the rival Showtime cable channel.

"We have decided not to renew 'Carnivale,"' said Carolyn Strauss, president of entertainment at HBO, in a statement. "We feel the two seasons we had on the air told the story very well and we are proud of what everyone associated with the show has accomplished."

Son of a bitch. That is the only HBO show that I watched. I wish they had known that before they finished up this season so that they could have put a better ending on it. Down to the last episode they could have changed everything to end the whole story, but they left everything open for more seasons. At least I won't miss anything by not having HBO anymore.

You're only OK with no HBO because in your younger days you lived with no MTV. Denial is good for the soul.

Of course now that I have MTV I don't watch it because it sucks. I would rather pay for Netflix than HBO.
