Anxiously awaiting tonite’s show, I tell myself Shaun will be ok, that John took him for his father’s purpose, the universe’s purpose, and tonite we will see Shaun ride in on something big and huge. With the close of last week’s show, listening to Sam & Dave’s masterpiece “Hold On, I’m Coming”, I was uplifted. I believe in a loving conclusion this week and look to a successful return next season. Peace Out!

This show has much potential… i hope this show doesnt get cancelled

I like the show and I hope to see a second season. Unfortunately only 2 out of 10 people, actually like it. I think David is a really great writer, i was a big fan of deadwood as well, and would like to see what he has in store for us for season 2.

The show is like code but readable. Zeros and Ones ( the “stick people”) - Cass’s camera (digital, programming, zeros and ones, on and off, the “hand ( digital) of God..and what about the “shuffle board?” The old testament another writing in “code.”

The acting is superb, the writing is quintessential - no fat. It engages you and makes you listen. It takes pain, turns into revelations for each of the characters and transmutes them. Each character goes beyond their emotional tangles/limitations and extending themselves, not always in tender modes, to one another. And then there’s the religiosity of the wave, the shapeshifter physics of it, it’s pureness and ability to speak to the spirit that surfers know.

This show is rich and if we are very, very fortunate it will return for yet another season.

BRING IT BACK!!!!! DEEP, DEEP SHOW!! that makes you think!! it pains me to say this but America has become so shallow & fast that people would rather watch rich girls fight over what dress there wearing to the club then a show that truly makes you think & keep guessing! alot of people just cant handle knowing it all I guess!!! so keep watching real mind bending shows like americas next top model!!

thought it would take a while to get over the loss of the previous HBO staple, but have been fully engaged and encouraged by john. Do I have any idea what its about? No. But that is what makes it what it is. Great mix of humor, grit, and confusion, mixed with superior characters.
this show is certainly in the green room

Give me a break. I liked the show at first because I thought that eventually they would give you some idea of what was going on. They didn’t. Now it is canceled, leaving most of us in the dark as to what was the meaning of the whole thing. Who is John?

Monad: an elementary individual substance which reflects the order of the world and from which material properties are derived
John Monad: a mysterious individual who reflects back the statements of others which both confuse and enlighten. All who are exposed to John and his namesake “Sean”, exorcise demons, attain goals, and seem to find peace or enlightenment.
I believe the writers are playing with us…if John/Sean is Christ or an alien, what is Zippy…the bird of God? I don’t think so. Great show…I’ll miss it, ending satisfactory to me.

Can’t believe H.B.O. canceled “john”. I actually enjoyed the show, and made a point of watching it every week. I have never done that before. Butchie will surely be missed, and sean is really gone.

I just finished watching JFC on demand. After watching I went online, as I usually do, to find more info on what I’ve just seen. I was shocked to find that the show is being cancelled!!! I love Entourage and Flight of the Conchords. I think HBO has the best shows on television. But I really think they’ve made a mistake here.
I don’t even fully understand JFC, but I love it anyway. I’m really disappointed that I will now never know what was happening on the show. It’s one of the most thought provoking shows on television. It’s smart. I don’t get it and it makes me want to dig through the layers. Let’s not have another Arrested Development moment. There are people who love this show… change the time slot, put it out on DVD or only On Demand, just don’t let it be a victim of this country’s short attention span.

I know that John from Cincinnati will rise again from the dead, just like Zippy and Shaun. When I heard the show was canned I couldn’t help but think this was some sort of perverse joke by HBO that would end with a network exec throwing a black Amex down on the table, kissing dead John on the forehead and John miraculously coming to life. The network exec would then ask John the Show, “Where were you?” and John would reply, “I don’t know Butchie instead.” This would then be followed up with some pointed remarks from our fearless network exec. “Have ya considered that Olsen Twins guest appearance? I have it on excellent authority that Simon Cowell is interested in beefing up his acting resume”, etc….

John from Cincinnati is so well crafted and subtly layered, the opinions of that weiner from The New Yorker notwithstanding, that HBO ought to back this thing up. In many ways this show is the television equivalent of “Finnegan’s Wake”, while confusing and open to a shitload of interpretations that tend to expand exponentially, it is simply a great show that ought to survive. Surely the folks who kept crap like “Arlis” running for more than a minute can save a beautiful, complex, scary and funny piece of art like JC.

Never mind Mitch Yost — It’s HBO that should get back in the game~! JFC is a show full of interesting characters that you get easily caught up in and want to know more. It’s a show that demands your attention from the beginning of each episode to the end. They grab a hold of your curiousity and latch on, making you view the episodes over and over again, and each time you do, you discover something else you missed before. Your mind wraps around them and tries to connect all the dots to make sense of the little intricacies shared from character to character.

Here was a show that grabbed you and made you really pay attention. If you were confused, you only needed to watch it again and then you found yourself wanting to watch more. It was forgivable confusion because it was so entertaining! This show had it all . . . excellent writing, superior acting, story plots and characters that were quirky and confusing but lovable and interesting just the same. It spoke to me through it’s humor, drama, intelligence and yes, even religion. Talk about good tv! This show was definitely that, and more. It was anything but boring and I eagerly awaited each new episode. Shouldn’t any show worth a viewer’s time in watching contain ALL of the elements that this one did?

So I have to ask HBO - what were you thinking? I don’t know Butchie instead.

Cissy, Cass, Kai - all hosted a Yost Day 1 and 2.

Most people have a slightly different idea about JFC and there… lies its beauty. This series made us think. WoW…..what a concept for T.V. To watch the series then actually talk to another person about the ideas….. Zeros and Ones….My Fathers Words….Cass’s camera. And the acting was superb. It was incredible that not one JFC actor or actress was recognized. Ed O’Neils performance was amazing. Wake up HBO….the envelope is being pushed…I hope your up for the challenge.

I am addicted to HBO!! It was tough to match up to Deadwood, but you did it with an incredible story line JFC is the best ever!! You can’t just cut us off like that, we need to know!! I have to know SEASON 2!! I’ll have to go into rehab and drop HBO like a bad habit.

HEY…what’s new here..did everyone give up..i guess it’s a losing battle.. no more john…i’ll have to relive the show on dvd… too bad… Kem Nunn should do a novel to finish out the series… at least we’d have a book to read
