The Real Reason They Canceled Deadwood

- Deadwood is arguably one of the best western TV shows of its time and some would even make the argument that it’s the best western TV show of all time. However, it only ran for three seasons on HBO, which came as a disappointment to its loyal fanbase.
Deadwood had everything you wanted from a western TV show. It follows the birth of a town in South Dakota and all the politics, violence, and formation of laws that come with building a town in the 1870s.
The series also had riveting performances by its lead actors Timothy Olyphant and Ian McShane. So, why did the show not last for more seasons? Here is the real reason they canceled Deadwood.

Are you still holding out hope that Deadwood could somehow return as a series?
I may be biased, but Lead at the pinnacle of the gold rush could be a great series...
Never happen. Would be nice but I doubt it. Especially with Milch being sick. Best show ever.
Not with Al dead. No point.
Let sleeping dogs lie

He anit dead yet, he was still alive at end of movie.
If it wasn't for Deadwood, my life would be totally different. My wife and I were in an old mining town called Barkerville in BC, Canada staying at the Bed And Breakfast. A fellow guest mentioned that Barkerville reminded her so much of the new Deadwood series. We asked about the series and ended up buying the first season and were hooked. We went to Deadwood the following year and the year after that. The second year we come back through Cody, Wyoming to go through Yellowstone National Park. We fell in love with Cody, and legally immigrated to the States and now we have lived there four 10 years, thanks to a series called Deadwood. Funny how life works.
Wow, that is such a cool story!! 😮
Curious. How were you able to legally immigrate?

I can't help but picture your interview spiced up with some choice Deadwood-esque dialog... If you haven't, google "Deadwood After Pancakes" :) Congrats and WELCOME!@@Grossman2868
Good for you for coming to the USA legally!🇺🇲
I figured that most viewers couldn't understand the superb dialogue. True Deadwood fans could though.
That's why you sat with a dictionary at your side! Maybe the most brilliant show ever produced.
@@arryrocks9167 I'm agreeing with you. The dialogue was incredible!
Since they only speak using the foulest language ever what is so hard to understand? It was especially in poor taste when they were using THAT language in front of the 10 year old child.
"True Deadwood fans" = dunces who didnt realize how this show is the Treasure Island of the Wild West
@@tommysfather only an idiot concentrated on the "foul" language.... it was pure poetry
HBO really pissed on their own shoes when they cancelled this show.
And the Sopranos ended the year before.
Deadwood was their "flagship" show, then they Shat on it.
This show was a masterpiece
I would't go that far, but it was good.
Is*
And yes it is
No question, it was really on it's way to becoming the greatest TV drama ever. The crazy thing is that many people still put it in the top 5 or top 10 and it was cancelled after only 3 seasons. It was always going to be more of a critics/journalist favorite over a popular show because of the complicated dialogue and characters with a lack of action. It's a slow build show that focuses on character and I just couldn't get enough it. It's definitely one of a kind and Al is one of the best characters in tv history.
Mr Wu's pigpen.😀😂👌
I was devastated when it was cancelled
One of the best series ever. Al Swerengen one of the best TV characters ever
He won a Emmy for his role
Scott Siegler Swerengen was great but so was Bullock. Frankly there wasn’t one bad actor in the entire cast. Great casting.
Absolutely the best series I have watched.
Absolutely agree on both, best show and best character. I know Bullock usually comes up as the second best, but I think Doc would take that.
Al Swerengen is the greatest TV character of all time
I considered Deadwood as the greatest HBO series ever made. Grown up on westerns, Deadwood had everything you could possibly want. I will never trust HBO again though or invest my time, emotion and money for any show they make ever again. I never ever did this before but I bought the soundtrack, leather bound book, coffee mugs and shotlasses because I liked Deadwood soo much, and what happened for my allegiance, they canceled the show. F@#! HBO I will not do that again. I must sayThank you David for the finale, 13 years late. it did help me to stop complaining to anyone who would listen about the crappy way HBO treats its viewers.
agree completely I guess we just gotta be grateful that it even came on! but that's lame. it just really,really SUCKS! lawyers and corporate scum. thanks though mr.milch. should a taken the 6 shows deal.
Then on top of that...Dish Network want's more money for H.B.O.(greedy bastard's)!
This was an absolutely great show. I was so sad when it was canceled, talk about leaving you hanging... Great cast, great writing, great production value, made for adults, classic television.
But wouldn't you just see the same story every year with a superhero in a slightly different custome?
Deadwood was my first exposure to Molly Parker. I always felt her Alma was the most perfect fusion of a character and player; her mannerisms and overall presentation of a 19th Century lady was sublime, perfect...
Like casting pearls before swine. We're lucky there were 3 seasons. It was the best series I've ever seen.
"Hell On Wheels", was also INCREDIBLE! Neither should have ever ended! Both should have been a 25 year run, just like Gunsmoke did!
Truth ok kid.
Now run back to your papa cranston
@@Gmthekiller Deadwood is number #2 for me behind Breaking Bad. Is Deadwood was longer it could've been better than Breaking Bad but you can't end a show early and have it be better than a show with an almost perfect ending.
@@MimiJoys quality would drop after like that 7 seasons, that show also had 39 episodes a season, the actors and crew would have nothing else to do with their lives if it was anything similar.
Beg pardon, the swine in this scenario seems to have been money people, i.e., producers, studios etc.
This show was way too literate for the mouthbreathers who just want to see explosions and superheroes.
And too anachronistic for anyone with a brain to be able to handle. This show was for no one that's why no one watched it
@@Ridetheillusion - I have a brain. I handled it. Loved it, in fact. So did my wife. So did a lot of other people I knew. Why can't you just say you didn't like it, instead of pretending to speak for everyone "with a brain"? I hate that about public discourse these days: Somehow there's no room anymore for two people "with a brain" to disagree on anything, which is patently silly and unproductive.
@@konradheumann8342 You just insulted people you consider less inteligent than yourself then try to take the moral high ground? What a d1ck.
@@nznegativeions - I guess you missed the relative clause (". . . who just want to see explosions and superheroes"). Do you doubt that such moviegoers exist? They obviously do, and it was to them exclusively that I directed my criticism.
It was almost Shakespearean
I cancelled HBO when they dropped Deadwood. I had HBO for 20 years, but I dropped it once Deadwood left.
Its on demand @ HBO now.
tbf Deadwood isn't the only masterpiece HBO has.
The pricks. I’ll never forgive them.
HBO has lots of great shows lol how can u say deadwood was the only one ? But yes I loved deadwood it’s one of my favorites it’s ashame they cut it short because most people don’t know what a great show is
@@morningstar7401 Yeah, HBO does have good series. I just did not like the way they sent Deadwood out and how they left the fans hanging. Just didn't care to have HBO if they are gonna drop shows in the middle.
Deadwood being canceled was like coitus interruptus. We just weren’t done yet.
BEST

EVER!
It was worse
Lmao
l highly recommend all of Seth Bullock's (Timmy Oylphant) fans to go watch Justified. One of the best written TV shows ever
Yep justified was great!

Fan!
Timothy Olyphant is an amazing actor! I loved the poster behind his desk in, Justified! Ever notice it? It was a poster of the REAL, Old Western Marshals! Perfectly fitting!😉 😉
@@MimiJoys l indeed noticed it great touch ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
Unfortunately, I think Justified lived long enough to degrade in its quality somewhat. That said still an excellent show.
@@gareth4045 I would agree. The third season had it's high points, but overall it wasn't up to the standard set by the previous seasons.
This show was a work of art. Mcshanes character note perfect. Olyphant should be a mega star. Witness 'Justified".
I too loved Justified!
Justified has the best characters and dialogue of any show ever written

I did watch Justified and did love it, but more for the discovery of Walton Goggins than Tim Olyphant.
Watch him in the shield great show
@@MrDino1953 Walt Goggins is just wonderful- I've loved him in "The Shift" and "Vice Principals", as well as "Justified".
Whoever was ultimately responsible for Deadwood being stalled and then cancelled should have been fired for making the dumbest decision ever!
Fired from a cannon you mean.
@@Pikkabuu . . . fired from a cannon . . . INTO Wu's pig pen .
@@NEIGH6699 Believe Al Was A Aussie
@@robertjones4082 Historically American. English from the series cannon. Although the series subtly alludes to some time he spent in Australia a few times.
They clearly suck something by choice.
I’d lay money that the exquisite dialogue baffled many viewers.
Amen! But if you stick with the show you'll understand it. But yeah, the dialogue frustrated me. Love the show however I didn't like season 3 just the first & second seasons. Ordering the movie from Netflix I'm sure I'll like it.
You're speaking their dialogue
True that., english being second language it was hard sometimes to get it at the first watch but it was so good that I paid full attention and completed the series... One of the best series ever...
I'm no literary slouch but I had to watch it with subtitles, with more than a few scenes rewatched several times for full comprehension.
My favorite TV show, I was devastated when it didn't return. Anyone else have a dictionary at the ready every week? And yes, Al Swerengen is a top 5 character of all time.
true right up there with archie's bunker and "hawkeye" and for me Caine from k.f.
Unique writing style. I loved the dialogue. Loved the show. Loved hating Ian McShane's character, especially as more of it was revealed, depending on the situation. Crooked, but wanted the town to survive, also. In a tough world. In tough times. I definitely would've watched Deadwood until the end, if it continued delivering the way it did.
Sad, because this series could have gone on for multiple years. Deadwood will be missed 😢
I never saw Deadwood when it was on HBO. I bought the DVDs years later, and I've watched them beginning to end about six times, including the movie. One of the greatest TV shows ever!
Deadwood! BEST SHOW
Hell On Wheels! BEST SHOW
Justified! BEST SHOW
Sigh, I miss ALL THREE!😧
Only the Good Die Young. 😭
One of the best shows of all time💯
My favorite show ever, I was soooo upset when they left on a cliffhanger right before was shit was about to go down.
I was so upset when it failed to carry on to its conclusion as a series, one of the best ever I was totally hooked, still watch it whenever it is replayed on some channels some great scenes and performances. Wonderful characters who you could love or hate. simply wonderful.
Since I go back a long way I have seen quite a few series and Deadwood ranks right up there with my top 3. Centennial ,Band of Brothers and Deadwood. The acting was excellent, characters well drawn and fleshed out and the story line as true to the actual people and events as possible. Many of the characters were based on real people. I miss it and was sorry to see it go it was far superior to much of what we have to watch now.
Phenomenal series. Travesty of a movie. The dialog was superb and so was the writing. The cast was phenomenal.
HBO did this with too many shows. Look at all the starts/stops with Sopranos. HBO tries to compare ratings to the days of network TV. They want "I Love Lucy" type ratings to go forward with a show. Those kinds of ratings will never happen again. This is why you should not have a bean counter in charge of programming.
DWood had serious fans...maybe not the viewer number HBO enjoys with other shows...but I was so disappointed when it disappeared...the movie was ok..imo it was more of a reunion than a dedicated movie...but I’m glad they did it...I enjoyed it.
This series was a masterpiece of writing, directing and of course, acting.
The cinematography and costumes was dazzling along with everything else about the series.
Dumbing down is the order of the day, and wins every time because more and more people are shoving their tiny pointed, and empty little heads as far up their asses as they can get them.
Such a shame.
Deadwood is the best television series ever produced. We as Americans pay the highest price for its cancellation, but the world paid along with it. It should've been four seasons. The first three are perfect.
As someone who grew up 3 miles from Deadwood (in Lead) I can honestly say this show bumped up our tourism percentage. I enjoyed it, and wish it would have continued!
We wanted to stay there last month before going to Mount Rushmore simply for that reason :D
It's a great community, and people are pretty chill haha
Went to Sturgis eight yrs in a row and stayed in a house a friend had bought in Lead. Pretty much across a mall with a lrg supermarket and a Burger King. Loved it. Loved it!
Do you think it was the show or the casinos?
I lived in Rapid City! GREATEST PLACE EVER!
Thx for the info. I thought deadwood was absolutely amazing. Mcshane and Oliphant were brilliant. RIP
This show was brilliant!!
One of my favorite shows of all time
The movie was really disappointing but that was to be expected. Each episode was 1hour and you can't just make a movie of 90-120 minutes and rap up the whole series. Too much in the movie didn't feel right. It was still fun because I got very nostalgic and again realized how good the series is.
By the time the movie was shot, Milch had Alzheimer's and was unable to treat the show like he had in the past. That's why it was a disappointment.
I think it just gave the endings that were missing after another brutal cancellation. I always thought the Hearst communications put pressure on to push the cancellation. Obviously Hearst didn't come out looking good. His family went on to be big in media. Published Cosmopolitan. They company still has huge influence today. Hearst's attitude to the press was explored well in the series. The film ended with media exposure again for Hearst. And Bullock pulling his ear again.
Because HBO didn’t know shit from shinola 15 years ago .....
still don't
Love that phrase...”shit from shinola”....was much used at our house when growing up...and no one knows what it means anymore...I digress...hated that Deadwood ended the way it did. Was truly beautifully written and spoken and acted. At least got some closure with the movie...could you hate any character more than Hearst? Was he really that much of a jag-off?
Claudia Miller excellent points , but I guess closure wasn’t important enough to them . With Powers booths and a few others passing away was bad too
F this. I’m rewatching it for the 20th time
Me too!!
As am I.
Heng dai!
Heng dai!
One of my favorite shows of all time. It's a shame it only lasted 3 seasons, but at least it lasted longer than Carnivale.
well, olyphant gave us Justified not so long after, and this was a hell of a show, and his role well was pretty much the same as in deadwood, except in modern time
Justified is probably more under rated than Deadwood. Timothy played the character in Justified that I was constantly waiting to come out in Deadwood. In Deadwood he was pussified, in Justified he was perfect. I'll rewatch Justified every time I get the chance. Simply an awesome show and frankly better than Deadwood.
@@TangoNevada i agree 100%.
The reason of the pussification of his role in deadwood is probably because they tried to staybas close to the real events as possible. Justified they didn t have that limitation. And yeah, justified is an awesome show, i watched it 4 or 5 times. It's always a pleasure to rewatch it
Olyphant was the only shit part of Deadwood, hes a horrible monotonic actor.
@@heinz5714
You must have watched the wrong person!
Timothy Olyphant is AMAZING and beats out every actor that ever graced the steps of Hollywood! VERY FEW can stand on the TOP scale as Timothy Olyphant does! Those that have reached the same height as Timothy Olyphant, VERY few are still living to stand along his side!
@@MimiJoys horribleeeeee actor
Paramount, Warner Bros., NO HANG DAI!
Even though I watched this, twice, I still don’t understand. My wife and I loved this series.
Omg! Whoever's idea it was to add in the Al Swearengen part at @ BRILLIANT!! So perfect!
Sad, when you consider what what wonderful runs “Hell on Wheels” and “Longmire” had.
That's exactly what I just said. 😭
I just finished watching this series and was hooked from start to finish. It’s so damn frustrating watching the series finale and knowing there wouldn’t be anything left, because so many of the characters stories were left a mystery. I’m going to watch the movie tomorrow, and hope that they somehow reach a satisfying conclusion for many of the beloved characters. I just don’t know how they’ll do it all in under two hours. Truly a letdown they didn’t just keep the show going for another season, or two.
Es una de las mejores series sobre el lejano oeste que se han filmado.Sobre todo cuando nos enteramos que sus protagonistas están basado en caracteres reales históricos. Un alástima que no se haya cerrado la serie con una cuarta temporada. La película con que se pretendió hacerlo no logró dar el ancho para cerrar la serie con el standard de excelencia que correspondía.
I finally watched the series and movie this year and loved it. Just think about the show makes men laugh and wishing their was more seasons. Thanks again HBO for canceling another great show, the only network that does this more is Netflix.
atleast we got the movie. Something Netflix wouldn't have done.
When I watched the two hour finale I couldn't help but notice how much some of the characters aged, though a few still looked the same.
The way the movie ended Sucked left the story without a end it was all left unfinished
It was a spectacular show. Enjoyed every episode thoroughly. Miss it much now!
I slept on this show for a long time but binged every episode + the film last weekend and it's a fucking masterpiece. Rare to see anything with the level of production it had and once its over the void is impossible to fill
Ah... The mid-2000's... Before the stock market recession... Life was good.
An absolute masterpiece was hooked after episode 1
To this day Deadwood is as cinematic as television shows ever got with dialogue in any one episode rivaling anything today, it was a crime we were robbed of such a sublime TV, I got a copy of it (season one) from a friend and was half watching it thinking this ain't my thing until Al Swearegen appeared and stole the show in what was imo the greatest anti hero bar Snake Plissken ever put to film, I'm 37 now and it's the ONLY TV show I've watched more than once, way more than once and I might just start it again, I can now watch them in my own 'cinema' on my oculus VR headset, in fact that's exactly what I'm going to do, it was cool to get the ending but it was bittersweet, Milch no longer at his peak nor the cast but they gave what little time it ran a good go, I never gave up on an ending, I bought it on DVD then Blu Ray and digital, if they could remaster it in 4k I would get that also but not quite sure if those San Francisco c########$ are able to swindle it, best TV show ever made, best written, best acted, best set design, best everything, if only we got the two 2 hour specials but Deadwood is dead now, long may it continue to enthrall, they missed an opportunity to do an E.B Farnham spin off, imagine Faulty towers with Mayor E.B and Richardson.
Milch's perfectionism and spur-of-the-moment rewrites were no doubt the reason the show was so great.
The audience bears the executives weight around their neck like a f***ing albatross and yet people still ask "Well, why is bent over" and "why can he barely f***ing walk".
How could anyone NOT love that show?! I'd grab my thesaurus and disappear for an hour on Sunday nights. I so miss it..
I've watched it six times and I'm sure I'm going to watch it again.
I don't understand how it cost 4 to 5 million dollars an episode to have two people stand in a room with awesome dialogue for several minutes
Deadwood was 10 times the show Game of Thrones has ever been. Fight me!
Idk how I missed this series all this time. Just watched all 3 seasons and the movie. Was a great show.
Deadwood was Shakespearean.
This is inaccurate - I was in Business Affairs at HBO at the time & worked on Deadwood. HBO very much wanted a fourth season of Deadwood - it was Milch (who is an erratic man who struggles with his addictions) - who told HBO he was going to work on John from Cincinnati - he told HBO the 'other' writers could carry on with a fourth season. The reason it came out as an HBO decision was to preserve the relationship with Milch. I was there, I heard it directly from those involved in negotiating the deals - Milch was leaving and HBO felt he was necessary for the project. HBO ate the anger and blame, because that's what studios do.
That's not the story Milch tells. HBO offered a half season and Milch felt it wasn't enough to finish out the story.
Deadwood series creator David Milch has said, “I am deeply disappointed by the way things turned out. (HBO) felt like they had to make a choice, and this is how they chose. I know they tried to work it out, and I tried to work it out with them.” It’s been confirmed that HBO offered to greenlight a small six-episode order of the groundbreaking drama but Milch, who has had bad experiences with so-called “short-order renewals,” rejected the offer. “For my part, I did not want to accept a short order. We couldn’t have done the work the way we wanted. I didn’t want to limp home. My old man used to say, ‘Never go anyplace where you’re only tolerated,'” relates Milch. One source has reported that Milch had already plotted the fourth (presumed final) season episodes.
Seems at odds with your story.
I'm not really interested in who was to blame. I was simply disappointed that another one of my favorite TV series was cancelled prematurely.
@@Coalemos
Best advice ever given by a parent! Thank You for THAT!
"Never go anyplace you're only tolerated"!
I shall remember that!
@@Coalemos - except I was there and talked to the people involved - I know what happened. Milch was allowed to place the blame on HBO - but the network was not willing to give an order for a show that had the creator and real genius of the language (Milch was a former Harvard professor) not fully involved. I know what Milch has said, I remember being furious we at HBO had to shoulder the blame - but Milch had an overall deal with us and to preserve that deal, we had to accept that blame. I'm not there anymore, ao it doesn't matter if I say what actually happened - I even ran into Milch when I was working for another production company and we had a nice chat - I like him - but I know what happened directly from the people involved so believe what you want.
No other movie compares to deadwood. It was awsome.
After Hickok's death, it just wasn't the same.
I watched "Deadwood" to revel in the extraordinary dialogue.
Is this series available on video?
This was an amazing show
They built up to a great cliffhanger at the end of the 3rd season, and then canceled the show. That’s when I canceled HBO.
John from Cincinnati?!?! Wow.
I do appreciate that you guys consistently give fact-based information without too much hype. Glad to still be able to get that on CZcams.
I dropped my HBO subscription when they cancelled Deadwood mid plot line. I havent watched a single episode of an HBO product since. I will not give them the chance to disrespect their subscribers like that again.
Great acting, well-written characters, hard-hitting scripts - like many shows, they don’t always last forever even if they’re excellent. I can really see, with all those wonderful actors, how they were in demand elsewhere - especially Ian McShane - what a remarkable actor. They ALL were. I didn’t watch the show - it was WAY too bloody for my tastes - but, my husband was an avid watcher, and I’d listen to the dialogue while it was on. Even just that convinced me it was one of the best acted shows on TV. But, it wasn’t going to be on forever.
Al,Charlie utter,Dan,Eb classics show specially that first and second season
I thought the title said deadpool and i spit out my drink
Anyone else think that was Dutch Van Der Linde before they clicked? 😅
No i thought it was Dr.Phil with longer hair
HBO: "I have a PLAN!"
The series was great,as short as it was. The movie was damn good too!!!
Hard to argue a tv series with a stronger set of cast members. So many talented actors and actresses all in one show.
They forgot the most important reason: They killed off Wild Bill way too early.
Have you ever looked up the history of Wild Bill and Deadwood? He was killed a day after Bullock met him there. I agree that his character was great, but just like the Earp's brief appearance, the show was fairly accurate to their real life time together.
Yet, still heralded by many as the top HBO series of all time. It is unparalleled to this day. GOT was a farce.
Got was the best show ever made. The ending may have been less then what many of us wanted, but the journey was fantastic. I have never had anything on TV other then football that made me talk to the tv like GOT. Deadwood was also great. Ian Mcshane was by far the best actor on it. He did a superb job.
@@joelaton1062 The acting was shallow and it was basically an adult cartoon.
The Wire was every bit as good, just different, but to say the wire isnt on par with deadwood is just wrong
Milch had a very expensive show that had declining ratings.
He refused to submit to a cut back in episodes for the fourth season.
It was over from that point.
This show was just ahead of its time. The amount of kids now in days demanding a REd dead redemption movie and I’m like; “yeah but we have deadwood.”
the myopic beancounters failed to seize the moment
Sunday evening BBQs revolved around that series.
my all time favorite show, bar none
This was a great show. I was saddened when it ended
I never knew the f-bomb was used so much in the old west
It wasn't, nor was "cocksucker" in use at the time as such. Actual swearing at the time was much more "Yosemite Sam" -ish. As I understand it the writers/producers/whoever decided that using period-correct profanity wouldn't be....profane enough for 21st-century audiences.
Love, Love, Loved the show!!!
I thought it was canceled because of the series Rome,which had very elaborate sets and cost a fortune and ultimately didn't perform as expected 🤔.
For a 2004 show, being more or less the year were TV-series really started becoming better than movies (also the year of Lost), the numbers were quite decent indeed. It was actually a hit at the time, and winning awards as well.
Comparing it to e.g. Game of Thrones from 2011+ is just silly 😕
Milch wasn't easily controlable for them, so in that sense it was most likely rough getting anywhere with negotiations of any sort. And that definitely lead to Deadwood stopping.
Such a huge shame that it never got an actual ending, though (the movie couldn't do it justice, although it was also decent, of course - even though HBO also cut 40 minutes out of that).
I do so love me some Deadwood!!!
HBO, it's not TV. It's the phone company. I think it helped get us HELL ON WHEELS.
Will forever miss it.
i loved that show more than ranch dressing
it's not for dummies
and there's to many dummies out there to appreciate it
it was the game of thrones of the old west and i loved it
deadwood would never make it past todays censors. Steve would be an instant "cancelled"
If they released Deadwood in 2020, twitter would crash under the strain of a million reees.
So they couldn't spare money to make this or Rome but abruptly dropped 300 million on The Pacific in 2011
Didn't expect this
one of the all time greatest shows. just underneath game of thrones, the wire, the sopranos and breaking bad.
Exactly
Game of thrones come on, OZ is the greatest
What About OZ?
@@justincase4892 oz is the greatest show ever, these guys are hard on B Bad dick
Watching again for the 88th time and have multiple dvd series collections ...hated when wild bill was killed off ...BRING THIS SHOW BACK
“John from Cincinnati” was such a letdown. Deadwood was..and still is…one of the best written, best SPOKEN series ever created. The language Milch uses as interpreted by his interaction with the actors is stunning and mesmerizing and lyrical and gorgeous. It’s like the best sort of chocolate candy for my ears and eyes and brain. I love it so!
I wish Netflix could have taken in the show, but I don’t think they were around back then.
I loved this show! At least the movie tied up some loose ends.
