I've only heard of Carnivale. What's it about? I've seen the Season 1 DVD's out in Wal-Mart and the like.

It has Clea Duvall. American Gothic meets Magical Realism in the Grapes of Wrath. Liberal subtext in sex-and-violence wrapping. Did I mention Clea Duvall?
I think I can understand why it's being reviewed. I don't feel the sense of development there is in a show like The Wire, so renewal only makes sense if people want more of the same.
I can't be a paying customer, so my tastes don't count 
EDIT: but I completed the survey nonetheless. Keeping my devotion to Clea Duvall, and my use of illicit copies of TV shows, to myself.

Don't listen to Purplebelly! (no offense, PB!) First of all, Clea Duvall is the one character that annoys me, for no specific reason that I can think of. The show is set during the depression, and is about a travelling carnivale. Nick Stahl plays a reluctant healer, in which something else must die in order to save someone. Clancy Brown (Highlander) is perfect as Brother Justin, who has a large following, but is turning evil. So, it's basically a story of good versus evil, only it involves MUCH more than that! The second season moves much faster than the first, and I thought the first season was very intriguing! Amy Madigan, Adrienne Barbou (mispelled, I'm sure!), and Michael Anderson are a few of the other actors.
Give it a go, and let me know what you think!

It's basically a good versus evil , second Messiah versus Antichrist on Acid series. It was a little much for me. The premise was interesting, then it got weirder LOL.
Brother Justin's famous line from Highlander:
"It's better to burnout, then to faaaaade away!!, Nuns, no sense of humor"
