Save the freaks.

As you may of may not know, Carnivale, one of the best things on television these days, has been cancelled by HBO, due to there not being enough viewers. Now, I've been digging on the Internet for a while, and apparently there's this action - people, fans of the show, are mass e-mailing HBO to get them to 'uncancel' it. I've only seen three episodes sofar, but I already consider myself a fan, so I went ahead and sent them a message.

To: Chris Albrecht (Chairman and CEO of HBO), Carolyn Strauss
(President HBO Entertainment)

Subject: Please bring Carnivale back

Hi,

You must be getting tons and tons of e-mails, so you probably have people to filter out stuff like this, but I simply had to send an e-mail after I heard that HBO had cancelled Carnivale after its second season. I hope the amount of e-mails you're bound to receive about this will really lead to you guys reconsidering this decision.

Carnivale is one of the best shows to grace the airwaves in a long, long time, and it would be a pity to let that go by unnoticed. This show might not be huge in the US, but it is in the rest of the world. I'm proof of that, living in Holland. I've seen only three episodes of season one, sofar, but I recognise quality when I see
it.

HBO took a chance by dipping into the notoriously unsuccesful 'paranormal fantasy'-genre, especially considering that this show was to take place in 1930's depression era America. You must've known that this would not draw in lots of people, but still you let your decision be guided by the lack of viewers. This is such a shame.

I'm sure Twin Peaks didn't draw in the masses when it started out, and that has turned out to be one of the most important television series in history.

Please reconsider.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Sincerely, Martin

If you also like the show, please consider e-mailing them about it. What have you got to lose, right? If not, then go back to watching shit like The O. C. and Gilmore Girls. Your call.

Cheers
