Band of Brothers Meets Deadwood on Basic Cable - 
by J-Unit
More on the series and the contest after the jump.
At first glance, Into the West may seem like just another western, albeit one that features Judge Reinhold, but it is actually quite an ambitious attempt at storytelling; it looks to depict the expansion of the west as described from both pioneer and Native American points of view. Making a historical epic that is accurate, that represents two sides of one story, and tries to be entertaining is difficult, and Into the West features six episodes with six different directors, four different writers, and a large and varied cast to try and pull it off. The first episode airs Friday, June 10th at 8PM eastern and continues for six weeks. For more information, visit the official site.
So anyway, about that contest. TVgasm readers have a chance to win an Into the West prize package that includes: an autographed poster (signed by Rachael Leigh Cook, Keri Russell, Matthew Settle, Tonantzin Carmelo, and Skeet Ulrich), an official t-shirt, and an episode guide. The best part is that you don't have to sign up for any mailing list or anything. To enter, simply send an e-mail to contests@tvgasm.com with the subject "Into the West". We will collect submissions until June 10th, choose a winner, and send them the prize package. That's about as hassle-free as you can get.

Woo-hoo, a contest! How did you come by the swag?
I saw a commercial for this miniseries and thought it sounded interesting--maybe like Lonesome Dove meets Dances With Wolves, only in a good way!

I just looked at the cast. Is it just me, or is every B actor ON EARTH in that show?

You had me at Skeet Ulrich. did a bead of his sweat drop onto the poster? (just say yes.)

I'm starting to wonder if this show is going to be worth watching. Ooooh! We don't like to hear people using bad words! Ooooh! I got news: sometimes people are less than delicate, and the type of people who moved west were more likely than not less than cultured. I'll watch once, but if it's just another politically-correct regular tv potboiler, count me out.
