A Few Words of Advice for David Milch

  • 8/16/07 at 09:30 AM
John From Cincinnati has finally been put out of its misery. We wouldn't put it past the show's small cadre of obsessives to read the cancellation as the Christ-like title character's ascension into heaven and begin praying for their own version of the Rapture (those who posted to JFC's Wikia page are saved; everyone else, vaporized), but we're just glad to be rid of HBO's obnoxious promos. Where did show creator David Milch — of Deadwood, NYPD Blue, and Hill Street Blues fame — go wrong? What must he keep in mind as he moves forward with his next HBO series, about a Vietnam vet turned New York City cop? Keep it dirty! John From Cincinnati had its share of cursing, but the quasi-religious series' single “nut-nudge,” noted online, can't compare to Deadwood's stream of profanity. The above video is a handy compendium. We'd avoid watching it at work (or within 500 yards of a school). —Nick Catucci
