Lycaon Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 CARNIVALE follows a traveling carnival as it wends its way across the Dust Bowl, focusing on Ben Hawkins, a mysterious 18-year-old fugitive with hidden talents who is taken in by the carnival, and Brother Justin, the charismatic, shadowy evangelist who will ultimately cross his path. The series takes place at a time of worldwide unrest, with evil on the rise around the globe and the Great Depression wreaking economic and social havoc here at home. Among the cast regulars are: Nick Stahl ("In the Bedroom") as Ben Hawkins and Clancy Brown ("The Shawshank Redemption") as Brother Justin, as well as Michael J. Anderson ("Twin Peaks") as Samson, who runs the show for Management; Clea DuVall (HBO's "The Laramie Project") as Sofie, the tarot card reader; Tim DeKay ("Swordfish") as Jones, Samson's right-hand man and the rousty manager; Adrienne Barbeau ("Escape from New York") as Ruthie, the snake charmer; Debra Christofferson ("Seraglio") as Lila, the carnival's bearded lady; Brian Turk ("American Pie 2") as Gabriel, the strong man; John Carroll Lynch ("Gothika") as Varlyn Stroud, a prison inmate enlisted in Brother Justin's cause; Amy Madigan (Oscar® nominee for "Twice in a Lifetime") as Brother Justin's loyal sister Iris; John Savage ("The Deer Hunter") as Scudder, Ben's elusive father; and Ralph Waite ("The Waltons") as Rev. Balthus. The carnival's burlesque family includes emcee father Stumpy, played by Toby Huss ("King of the Hill"); mother Rita Sue, played by Cynthia Ettinger ("Thirteen"); and daughter Libby, played by Carla Gallo ("Undeclared"). CARNIVALE is created by Daniel Knauf; executive producers, Howard Klein and Daniel Knauf; co-executive producers, Dan Hassid, David Knoller, Dawn Prestwich & Nicole Yorkin and William Schmidt; consulting producer, Tracy Torme; consultant, John McLaughlin; producer, Bernie Caulfield. Also: Lodz.....Patrick Bauchau (The Pretender, Panic Room, Vampire: The Embraced) Only lasted 2 seasons, I highly suggest watching it despite the limited run. Talk amongst yourselves. http://www.hbo.com/carnivale/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Picked up both seasons over the holiday season, and have been turning more people into followers fans of this show. Heard rumors it may have been picked back up by Showtime recently. Unlikely, but fucking awesome if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jont Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 There's quite a few fans of this show on here, including me and someone else. There was a thread about this somewhere, probably long lost in the ether of Hondos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 i watched a few episodes of this on TG4 during their run of the first series, seemed good but they cancelled half way into their run for some stupid reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, this is the only thread dedicated to the series, though we have talked a bout it in several other threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Bob Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ah yes, yet another on my list of utterly brilliant but inexplicably cancelled TV shows. (move aside Deadwood and Veronica Mars, slide over Firefly and Dead Like Me, we got another club member) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
