1. They got rid of it a while ago
almost two years, I think. I used to watch it and loved it.

The two seasons are easy enough to find on DVD, so I would suggest checking them out. Assholes always manage to take the shows I like off the air

15. No, the end of season two was a big cliffhanger.

2. If it is the show I'm thinking bout...
it was great.

A play on freedom vs religion vs order vs rality

a good flick.

:hi:

9. I think you might like the show.
I found it very entertaining, but I am a bit warped in my tv viewing! Worth renting.

8. I saw the first season, never got a chance to see the second
From what I heard from friends who saw it all, they canceled it before it had an "end." Shame, I really liked it.

12. People who like Lost will really like it
I liked Carnivale much more than Lost, but there are some similar elements.

Highly recommend.

16. Yeah, it is definitely a show Lost fans would quite enjoy.
I'm mildly obsessed with Lost so I speak from experience, ahah.

13. It was good, but it was no Deadwood or Rome.
Two of the best shows ever to get canceled.

14. You mean Carnivale? That show was brilliant.
I was so pissed when they canceled it.

25. Great story of good vs. evil, right vs. wrong and also deals with
the choices we make and how they affect the lives of others...there are a few lessons in there I didn't expect.

Oh, if you do purchase the box set I would advise you not miss a SECOND of it. If you have to use the bathroom or answer the phone, pause it. This is the type of show where, if you miss the slightest thing you could be a little lost later on in that particular episode.

Man I wish they would bring this show back!

22. I was looking for a dvd to buy and I just stopped.
I almost bought them but I already had found Centennial by James A. Michener.

I had been looking for Centennial for a long time.

23. They used to be super expensive.
I bought season 2 for $80, when it used to be $130, and my friend found season 1 for something like $20 and bought it for me.
