It behooves you to break open the f@%&ing canned peaches!

When Al Swearengen says that, you know somethin's goin' down in Deadwood.

Dad and I have made "Deadwood" (the series) our new HBO frontier. In fact, we're almost done with the last season, season 3, and, as always, it'll be a sad occasion when we're done. But, then we'll just move on to another HBO show.

It's really too bad that HBO and Showtime shows-- really, the best on TV-- have a (generally) short life-span, given production expenses and 'cause they're only available on cable networks, thanks to FCC regulations. If we lived in England or Australia, shows like "Deadwood" would be on network TV. Imagine! Those "c@&*suckers" could reach tens of millions! It'd be peaches all around! Talk about panning for gold...
