Now we’ll never know what was going on.

We’ll never learn what “Mother of God, Cass-Kai” means.

We’ll never know if John and Shaunie were surfing in from heaven or a UFO.

We’ll never– Oh who gives a s***? We weren’t supposed to know. And you weren’t watching, anyway.

John from Cincinnati, David Milch’s saga of science, spirituality and surfing, his middle finger to popular opinion and a series that got more watchable as it got more incomprehensible, has been canceled by HBO after ten episodes and hours after its first season finale (with a rousing opening sequence set to Bob Dylan’s “Series of Dreams” that seemed to be setting the course for a new direction).Great opening credits, though. And Ed O’Neill deserves an Emmy.

(And John had its champions, as you can see here. Did you watch John? Will you miss it?)

    A sad day for Ed O’Neill fans everywhere. The guy really can act, but he can’t seem to catch a break.

    Maybe someday Mamet’ll get him an Oscar nom.

    I really did.
    But, I just couldn’t get passed Rebbeca DeMornay….
