Hardly getting over it.
I remember when Johnny Cash was in an episode of "Murder, She Wrote".

That's up there with Boy George on The A-Team.
Definitely. The writers allude to Shakespeare a lot, and the dialgoue is often closer to Elizabethan than to Old West. That's one of the things that's great about it.
Plus I dont recall seeing many programs where the monolgue is used. Of course in Shakespeare it's commonplace but on a TV series it's rare i think. A simple technique but when used with a character like Swearengen was one of the great features of the show. They couldnt have cast a better actor than McShane for this.

The blowjob monologues (particularly with Dolly when he talks about his mother and the orphanage) are some of the best scenes in television. Period.
Somthing to do with Bullocks relationship with the judge in Montana wasn't it? Hes looking out for the camp really, he has some feelings in there.
It was hemorrhaging steam by series 3 but Swearengen only got better and better.

For anyone who's interested, wiki's page on Deadwood, South Dakota:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadwood,_South_Dakota
My guess would be S4 would've covered the events leading up to the Great Fire which wiped out 300 buildings in the town.

Some of the people involved played fast and loose with the truth too. Calamity Jane once claimed that she'd had a baby with Wild Bill, but all accounts point to him hating the sight of her. And there's no evidence they ever knew each other before Deadwood.
And Wild Bill's nickname when he worked for the Pony Express in Nebraska was "Duck Bill" due to his abnormally large nose.

True.
Wild Bill Hickok was once quoted as saying he only ever shot people in self defence. If his claim is true, m'lud, then I respectfully put it to the court that he spent a suspiciously large portion of his time defending himself.

As far as Milch's creation is concerned, not a lot of that matters though does it; it's a treatise on how 'we' build society from chaos and anarchy, and how the exercise of power and politics in what became the USA meant that particular society developed in its own way. In Deadwood itself, we also witness the death of individualism and the birth of collectivism. And all that shit.

I remember when Johnny Cash was in an episode of "Murder, She Wrote".
he was in Murder She Wrote as well as Columbo and Dr Quin Medicine Woman (& the Simpsons kind of) ?

He also did a brilliant (and sadly underrated, IMHO) Western with Kirk Douglas called 'A Gunfight.' It was a kind of morality play as much it was a Western, featuring Cash and Douglas as two aging gunslingers who decide to fight to the death in a bullring, before a paying audience.
