 Marketing HBO's 'Carnivale'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
A supernatural-infused costume drama set in the 1930s, "Carnivale" is a far cry from the raw slices of contemporary realism offered by "Sex and the City" and "The Wire." That is why the cable network plans to tweak its traditional strategies to bring viewers into the "Carnivale" tent.

 TV Notes: 'Carnivale' copied?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Bergquist, artistic director at the New Playwrights Foundation, contends that he submitted several screenplays and a rough draft of his novel "Beulah" -- a quirky drama set amid a traveling carnival during the Depression -- to workshops at the American Film Institute and the New Playwrights Foundation in the mid- to late 1980s.
In spring 2003, the suit noted, HBO began advertising a new television series about a traveling carnival titled "Carnivale." Bergquist began receiving calls from friends who had read "Beulah," congratulating and assuming -- incorrectly, it turned out -- that his novel was being turned into a television series.
There is also a character in the book called "The Lady," the mysterious carnival manager who lives in a trailer and permits almost no one to see her.

 Zap2it - TV news - Poor Starts for HBO's 'Carnivale,' 'Unscripted'
Sunday night's (Jan. 9) season premiere of "Carnivale" and the series premiere of "Unscripted" got off to weak starts for the premium cable giant.
To be fair, the show's series premiere followed an episode of "Sex and the City" and wasn't expected to anchor the night.
As tepid as the ratings for "Carnivale" were, the largely improvised Hollywood comedy "Unscripted" debuted to only 814,000 viewers at 10 p.m., according to the industry trades.

"Carnivale" had its share of strong reviews, and won several Emmys, but didn't draw the universal acclaim generated by other HBO dramas such as "Deadwood" or "The Sopranos."

In part this was due to having two-headed leadership behind the scenes in the form of the show's creator, Daniel Knauf, and veteran show runner, Ron Moore.
