anybody else watching "John from Cincinnati" on HBO?
is this the weirdest show or what/???

they promise all will be revealed in the final episode next week, but geez, what a strange show it's been

every week hubby says "I don't know why I watch this show, it makes no sense." but we watch it raptly every week......

:crazy:

1. Yes, I love it.
I was follwing pretty well until 2 weeks ago. The past three episodes have thrown me right off, I have no idea at all what is going on anymore. I'm hoping the finale does clean it all up. I've thought all along that John was an alien, my buddy thinks he's a Christlike divine figure.

7. It is indeed very strange!
My husband and I have watched every episode, even though we can't figure out everything that's going on. It's weirdly fascinating.

Sometimes I feel it is pretentiously trying to be enigmatic and cool - so if the season finale doesn't reveal all I'll be pissed that I wasted all that time watching LOL :-)

8. Hubby and daughter watch it
I personally can't stand it. While it's on I come over and log on to DU/Lounge and catch the links to cute kitty behavior. It's all good.

9. It will fail because it's not The Sopranos
They should have waited a few months before the premiere episode. The pilot was good, by any stretch, but I was too busy singing "Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world / She took the midnight train goin' anywhere" to have really enjoyed it.

I suspect I'm like many Sopranos fans: I tuned for the first two seasons and the last two. Or maybe TV fans in general for that matter.

And that may be "John's" downfall.

10. I'm still mourning Six Feet Under being over. I haven't given "John.....
a try. I've heard a lot of mixed opinions. I tend to like the bizarre so maybe I'll check it out when they start the reruns.
