My husband LOVES Deadwood. I LOVE the movie Calimity Jane and know every word of dialogue (and song) off by heart!!!!

I loved Deadwood! I especially loved the swearing. The juxaposition of iambic pentameter with profanity was mesmerizing. As an Ian McShane fan (formerly of Lovejoy Mysteries), I was furious with HBO when the show was canceled. I’ve never been to the city of Deadwood, but for three years I was a viewew.

Haven’t watched the show but visited the town years and years ago. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

We don’t get HBO either – we own Deadwood on DVD. I can drool over Seth any time I like :)

I have always liked westerns, but alas, I no longer watch any television at home. My free time is spent writing, reading or a little cross-stitch needlework.

Great post, and the town of Deadwood has some interesting older buildings and so is the tiered cemetery.

I’ve never watched it, but the town looks like the one I live in! :) I love small towns and looking through grave yards. Some very interesting dates, and sad ones too.

Great post, Shelly!

While we were there in one of the pubs they had a Wild Bill Hickok renactment – a man pretending to be Wild Bill. It was really interesting.

I’ve always had an interest in Wild Bill Hickok, and I’d love to visit Deadwood someday.

The character Calamity Jane always makes me laugh. She’s usually swearing or drunk. The lady who plays the character is a great actress.

I caught a few episodes when it was on HBO. I’m thinking I need to buy the dvd and watch the whole series. The actress who portrayed Calamity Jane was recently on the tv show “Life.”
