i am so pissed about the cancellation of this show. It is the one HBO series that i actually watched and enjoyed. I am not a big TV person but this is the one series i have ever watched weekly and planned on continuing to watch weekly. The cancellation is a big joke and half of the other shows are not even nearly as good as john from cincinnati was and do not deserve to be aired. Flight of the Concords? are you kidding me that show is terrible. John from Cincinnati invokes individuals to use critical thinking skills. The show leaves individuals wondering what will happen next and allows them to configure their own ideas on the show. It is like a good book, i good book keeps the reader guessing unlike every other show that lays everything out in chronilogical order without any interaction of thought whatsoever. I now strongly dislike HBO and will most likely cancel my subscription to the program entirely. and on top of cancelling the show, you can not even find the series at any local walmart or blockbuster, that is just rediculous. Thanks a lot now i can not even purchase the series for myself cause i certainly will not purchase it from HBO, who cancelled the show.

IMPORTANT NEWS:
I took a chance and emailed someone who worked closely on JFC. This person did respond by phone this afternoon but asked that I do not disclose their name.
I now know that there IS a chance that JFC could become an internet type show or podcast. But we have to show that we have the numbers to support our request.
I was given this specific suggestion:
"On jmonad's youtube profile he has only 147 subscribers (friends)! So IF there were to be a new video added ONLY 147 would be informed of the release."
We need to get lots and lots of people to JOIN YOUTUBE and subscribe to the jmonad page, as well as all the other character video's, i.e., Dickstein, Mitch Yost, Shaun Yost, etc..
WE DO HAVE HBO's ATTENTION... and YES the threads are being read!

I'm with you OMM1. The very day that Curb Your Enthusiasm ends is the day that I am finished with HBO.(Unless,of course, they manage to bring back JFC)
I was also a huge fan of Carnivale and have yet to get over the horrible montage(with VO) ending that they crapped on us in the final episode. The ending episode of JFC was far worse. Linc on a megaphone summing up the plot at a pep rally while all of the characters look on is an absolute disgrace and insults the intelligence of the show's audience. At least Carnivale had SOME closure in it's final moments. JFC's ending was a complete and utter artistic failure, a slap in the face to those of us who invested 10 weeks into this otherwise AWESOME show. Shame on HBO.
Here is a tip for the goons at HBO who red-light and green-light the shows which make air. If you are not sure about a show surviving into a second season...demand that the creators/writers come up with an ending that provides closure for the audience, even if it means shooting alternate endings. The endings to both Carnivale and JFC were a total disgrace.

Here's an idea...If you are as angry as I am about the cancellation of John From Cincinnati send HBO a message and cancel your service. I am a huge fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm so I won't be cancelling right away but, mark my words, in 9 weeks when CYE is over, I am done with HBO...FOREVER. The loss of CARNIVALE almost sent me over the edge a few years back but the loss of JFC is too much to bear. What really makes me angry is that the final episodes of BOTH of these series were obviously written with the knowledge that the series was to be cancelled and I found the payoff of these final episodes to be appalling. To invest 9 weeks of my life in JFC and have the final episode involve a pep rally where a major character wraps up the plot on a megaphone pisses me off to no end.
How HBO sees fit to bring back garbage like Taxicab Confessions and shows about real life whorehouses, season after season, is a mystery that I am no longer willing to subsidize. John From Cincinnati fans UNITE! Vote with your wallets and cancel HBO. After Curb Your Enthusiasm ends, the programming is all crap anyway.

John is wearing his old outfit. Why?
Maybe beacause he's going back to "Cincinnati"?

Western Union? Where did he come up with that? Palaka is a human cartoon.

Man and we talk a lot about BVH and Ed O'Neill deserving awards; Austin Nichols in the scene in room 24 is just amazing.
What does he draw on there? I can't think of another character so frustrated by his inability to communicate, so vulnerable and yet so hopeful.
Sure Dustin Hoffman was good in Rainman, but he was imitating a real condition. I like Austin's whole performance much more
