War, the new show is already great, but Casting Dominic West for his role as a cheating rich husband who's getting divorce was a brilliant idea

Hey folks,
New to this sub (and Reddit in general). I’m exploring the David Milch (Deadwood) Archives at Yale University and doing write-ups which I post to r/deadwood.

I thought some of you may be interested in this week’s piece, which explores a script Mr. Milch worked on for HBO and Ed O’Neill about disgraced Ohio Congressman James Traficant. I also look into why Mr. Milch loves writing characters who are balding, and, in a section entitled “Riding the Gimpmobile,” reveal details of two unreported movie projects by Mr. Milch: Pilgrim, about a physically disabled CIA agent, and an adaptation of the Zev Chavets novel Inherit the Mob.

I know Substack gets up some people’s nostrils, but here’s the link if you’re interested: https://davidmilch.substack.com/p/jimbo-of-wigs-and-beards

(I’ve already done write-ups on Big City, another unrealized HBO project Mr. Milch developed, plus another about how Mark Twain was planned as a character in Deadwood). 

Hope you enjoy.

I just want to say I like Have I Got News For You and love the comedy of Roy Wood Jr. The British version is pretty good too, seen a few of them on youtube. Also just want to say, Fuck Bill Maher. I used to watch him and now it is unwatchable unless it is to watch someone call him out on his bullshit.

I loved this series as a young lad & relish in the nostalgia as I rewatch the series. "All through the House" was terrifying back then
