Sometimes I like to take a break from the cutthroat world of technology reporting to immerse myself in the moving and imaginative stories of a group of men and women from a simpler time of cutthroat…well…throat cutting, as it turns out.
I’ve you’ve never seen HBO’s Deadwood and you happen to be looking for a way to spend ninety bucks, you wouldn’t be disappointed to own the entire series. It only lasted three seasons but a lot of great shows only lasted three seasons; Deadwood, Arrested Development, and Family Guy, for instance. They brought Family Guy back eventually, though, and I hear it’s doing quite well.
Anyway, my point is that Deadwood was a great show and going outside during the summer is highly overrated. Enjoy!

Wow! That IS an amazing deal. Those DVD box sets are like, what, $70 – $90 a piece normally?
Thanks for the tip!
No problem. I was surprised too. I’ve seen the set for well over $150 in the past.
Anyone see the Family Guy where they made fun of Deadwood? The 2 guys were by a fence and the one was looking at a Playboy. The other guy goes anything yet? And the guy with the magazine says, “Nope.”
Star Trek is another great series that only lasted 3 seasons on its first run.
