Unless they keep their promises about bringing back Deadwood, my bitter feelings toward David Milch and HBO will never change. But I must give Milch a little credit. The guy sure likes to recycle actors from his old shows.

Another week, another tortured view of some of the most unsympathetic characters ever seen on TV.

At least we know now what Cissy's problem is - she's a child molester, of her own son, no less.

Another week, another screaming fit by Cissy. What is this lady's problem?

Is it because she is surrounded by nincompoops? Or is she still feeling the aftereffects from the acid hits of her youth?

Any episode with Dennis Hopper is worth HBO's subscription price.

But Lisa Rinna's ample friend? That was pushing the envelope. Poor Johnny Drama.

Another week, another bizarre and baffling hour on John from Cincinnati.

Meanwhile, HBO is torturing us by showing episodes from the first season of Deadwood on Saturday nights.

It is a cruel, cruel world.

So the brilliant minds at HBO decide they like David Milch's farfetched idea for John from Cincinnati better than his existing show Deadwood.

So they cancel Deadwood and give its time slot to JFC. Jesus F--n Christ.

Did you sleep through Sunday night's Entourage? Shame, shame. Here's the best of what you missed:

A flash of breasts. Anthony Michael Hall pissing off a balcony. A snotty private school headmaster putting Ari in his place.

Another week, another stunner on John from Cincinnati. As if levitation and a born-again bird weren't enough, now we get a miraculous healing from a broken neck.

HBO will try anything to lure us in. They may yet succeed.

I watched the second episode of John from Cincinnati, and this week's show was definitely more watchable. Maybe I'm getting used to all the ne'er-do-wells and nincompoops. Still, it is hard to find a character to relate to.

I saw the debut of John from Cincinnati on HBO last night. What a waste of time and talent.
