  • I don't know. Butchie instead.

  • I really miss JFC, could have been a great series. Too bad the ratings sucked...

  • 1:13 Motherf..er!

  • 0:24  Insane crowd!!!

  • I loved this song by Joe Strummer et al.

  • One of the best intros for any show ever. Fuck it, maybe the show didn't live up to the hype however for 1:28 it was epic...

  • This is the show that made me want to move to Imperial Beach :)

  • Depressing that they cancelled Deadwood for this. Guess hindsight is 20/20 though.

  • @Sameth69 Deadwood was great but it had it's run. This show could've been spectacular, but it just never found its groove.

  • Zippy Lives!!

  • Work here.

  • NEW DEADWOOD CHANNEL

  • Whats this show about?

  • @InfiniteTV1 What would you do if a Supreme Being came to your community....go for it,,,

  • @InfiniteTV1

    Tradition, family, spirituality, and surfing.

  • This guy singing is trying to sound like the clash to muched.....

  • @laker2125 I can't tell if you're trolling or just don't know, but the singer is Joe Strummer... of The Clash. I think he's allowed to sound like himself.

  • @offput This is a great song and it makes me miss the show although it was...really bad lol

  • @laker2125 Well, maybe because this guy is from The Clash.

  • @DaniVerd I fucked your dead mother in the ass.

  • @laker2125 Okay...

  • @DaniVerd Sabrina Seraj wants to eat your cum.

  • Btw, the song is Johnny Appleseed by Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros...

  • So sad this HBO show lasted only one season--not enough thinking viewers tuned in to get the ratings up. Can you believe it? It's on DVD folks--130 IQ min requirement.

  • Fuck Sissy, I want to hit that fucking bitch in the face until my arms are numb.

  • My uncle was a writer and consultant for the show, that's how I learned about JFC. While I thought it was confusing sometimes, for the most part it was a pretty quirky but a cool show.

  • in the last episode where butchie grabs johns shirt and john says, "he hurt my tit." When he said that line i lost my shit, what a great show in the piles of filth that is currently on.

  • IMPERIAL BEACH CALIFORNIA

  • I really liked this show, and the song! wish they would put it back on with same actors! I DONT KNOW BUTCHIE INSTEAD

  • This is the POS they wanted over Deadwood? Fuck this show and fuck HBO.

  • This show was so peculiar it was awesome. I too wish it survived the first season.

  • Thanks for posting this. One of the most beautiful tv openings ever.

  • i didn't know there was the sea in cincinnati lol.

    i don't see what's the point of this opening =D

    i've never seen the show though =)

  • @Lostinpraslation it's about surfing you moron

  • @lostinpraslation its not in cincinnati john is from cincinnati you idiot bravo esiotrot17 i hate u idiots who dont understand these hbo, showtime or amc shows u r so stupid lostin praslation

  • @Lostinpraslation The show takes place in Imperial Beach, CA. John, however, claims to come from Cincinnati.  You should watch the show though, preferably with a couple joints nearby.

  • It was a strange show and i was doing my best to keep up with it, at times i got other times it left me behind. But was i happy to see it go? absolutely not and i think HBO made a mistake and should've let it finish how ever way the creators intended for it to be. Wished there was a season 2.

  • I heard Deadwood was canceled to make room for this. Now you know how Deadwood fans felt. John From Cincinnati was fair at best. It couldn't hold a candle to the mighty Deadwood. I miss Rome also. The Sopranos was the best of all, and Six Feet Under a close second. Who does this song?

  • @TIMOTHYSAARINEN Well actually, Deadwood had it's chance to be renewed for either a partial season (6 episodes) or two 2-hour long episode/movies in order to finish the story. But Milch either ignored HBO's queries or was adamant about another full season or nothing. Eventually, due to budget issues, HBO had no choice but to release the actors from their contracts, which - with a cast as huge and star-studded as Deadwood, put the final nail in the coffin. Milch kinda blew it :/

  • I arrived in Imperial Beach (San Diego) in 1974. First thing my girlfriend told me was, "Stay away from Crusty Corners!" Surfers, lol.

  • HBO cancelling this show = FAIL. I feel cheated that I will never know the rest of this story. The viewership was increasing throughout the season. They should give it another chance.

  • i keep watching this, john from cincinatti, the second greatest show ever made? Just behind Breaking Bad

  • I watched the whole season and then HBO cancelled it on a cliffhanger. People can't appreciate a deep show anymore.

  • I got my eye on you! YOU STARIN ME DOWN? ARE YOU STARIN ME DOWN?

  • this was one of the best shows i ever saw on hbo.

  • I thought this was a really good show. I dont see why it never really caught on but it had me hooked from start to finish.

  • Imperial Beach.

  • I recently got the box set for this unique series...it was different but I loved it...

  • greatest opening credits sequence i've ever seen, gives me chills

  • the opening credits make me wana go surfing

  • where might i be able to watch full episodes of this show? i am from imperial beach, and i never knew that there was actually a show filmed here..

  • AWESOME show! and LOVED that they filmed it in my HOMETOWN! :)

  • One day after the season finale aired, HBO officially canceled the show - wikipedia

    This was going to be a long drawn out mysterious plot like Lost, and now it makes no fucking sense.

  • they just watered down the original plot so they could drag the show endlessly.I find it difficult to appreciate many shows these days,because of slow character development and loose plotlines.

  • I don't think it was "cancelled" it was a story with a beginning and an end....

    it's a reminder... "you gott's Boogie? I gott's to Boogie!!!"

    Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ!

  • I bet John doesn't know anything about Cincinnati....

  • yeah i was pissed this was cancelled, was such a good show. john from cincinatti, true blood, deadwood and sopranos(although i think sopranos went on too long) all good-great shows-showtime wishes they had good shows like these-weeds pfff! the other one with the x-files guy pfff! crap compared to

  • "I don't know Butchy instead" lol

  • So sad that this show was cancelled...for any fans, I really recommend the DVD set. Milch has some fantastic commentary, and a FULL explanation of John's speech from Ep 6.

    His commentary reveals a lot about where the show was headed, and it was to a positive and uplifting point. The series was to ultimately be about humans' ability to bring out the best in each other, and fight prejudice and fear.

    Sad that HBO viewers would rather watch aging socialites have sex than see something positive.

  • I loved this show and Deadwood and HBO is fucking stupid JFC was funny and great and Deadwood was also great than that same year The Sopranos Stopped forever, such a sad year in TV history

  • David Milch´s audio commentary (onthe first and the last episode) is highly recommended. Very authentic, very profiund! Even these 10 episodes will write history, be sure, Mr. Milch!

  • cancelling this show is the most epic of fail on hbo's part... listen to fans not critics..

  • Chronic GP jam, find insider con 4 DoD2 intent.

  • I loved the show, but they were asking the audience to read into a lot of things...very cryptic, and I think it turned a lot of people off because it was so different than so many other shows.

  • Yes, even people that pay extra money for HBO programming can not really be expected to be smart enough for a show like this.

    Episode three with Shaunie skating on the half-pipe at the end was when JFC peaked.

  • well, Showtime has every show different from the other, and one need to know & accept the themes if they want to enjoy the series (diseases, drugs, murders, homosexuals, sex)

    Like Journeyman (I liked that show), this show only got one season

  • in which episodes or episode does rodney mullen come out?

    the freestyle skater you may have seen in the backround...

  • why oh why was this show cancelled???

  • I know!! I wanna know why they canceled this show too!!! I got hooked on it!! It was really good. It prolly got too off with the the kid being a messiah and all, or somethin and they couldnt keep coming up with good scripts.

  • Oh... thanks, nonetheless, OK Baywatch! OK USA!!

  • omg imperial beach! i live there!:D never saw this show but i was an extra.

  • you're kidding. watch the show through. it's only one season long

  • Is this baywatch?!?!??!!?!

  • i dont see any beautiful women in red slutty swimsuits, running down the beach for their lives to jump into the abyss. nope not baywatch...

  • Too bad that they never got to continue the show. Great opening though.

  • great, great opening credits. just beautiful.

  • I miss you so much Joe! Please do come back one day! Promise you will because it has only been six years without you and I still have so many more to go!

  • And RIP Joe Strummer. He decide to go :`(

  • Still can't believe HBO canned this. This intriguing show had a lot of heart and so much potential .  But HBO would rather have some identikit cop show that attracts the braindead masses.

    BRING BACK JOHN YOU LOUSY BUMS >:-(

  • Joe rules!

    R. i. p.

    Wonderful song

  • does ne one know the name of this song?

  • Johnny Appleseed by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros

  • I can't believe they cancelled this show. Fucking tragedy from all angles. I loved this show.

  • Woah dudes. John From Cincinnati will be shown in the UK on FX channel. The scene featuring our itunes single Tic goes out 23rd November 10 pm. Got my eye on you Butchie Yost!

  • JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

  • I don't know butchie instead!

  • i dont know butchie instead!

  • Still the Second Best show on HBO History number being Entourage of course my opinion but a strong one :D

  • your a fucking moron! i dont care if its your opinion or not thats like saying 2+2 = 5 in my opinion! this douchebag show got cancelled and was heavily critized by the press. i can name 10 shows that have been on HBO that beat the shit out of this! what a gay show

  • ur a fucking idiot this show was truly visionary and only fucking dumbasses like you would think its terrible

  • hey fucking fag ass cocksucker if it was such a good show why did no one watch it and why did it get cancelled lol no emmy awards and cancelled after 1 season! wow what a piece of shit show, the critics hated it and rightfully so! i guess only douchebags like you watched it, you fucking fag! the show was horrible and now its gone! thank god because shit like that doesn't belong on tv. hbo only has good shows like the wire,deadwood,sopranos,rome,si­x feet under and more all shows that win awards!

  • becuase there was only one season. sopranos wasn't well known in its first season either. but one thing all those shows had, that John From Cincinnati didn't, is a plot that could be dragged on for 10 fucking seasons. John From Cincinnati only needed one season to tell the entire story, and it did it well. why are you looking up videos for John From Cincinnati if you hated it so much? you're a fucking troll. and it didn't get canceled, you fucking fag ass cocksucker. it ended. fucking tool.

  • WRONG. This show did not END. It was cancelled. David Milch had a second season all planned out. He talks about it on the DVD. So before you call other people 'fucking tools', try not being an ignorant douchebag yourself.

  • fuck you dhildemann. you know what the fuck i meant. who the fuck cares if it ended, or if it was cancelled. its the same fucking thing you fucking dolt. youre not cool. stop trying to act better than everyone, just because you bought a dvd. or did you just quote wikipedia? you stupid fuck.

  • only ur dumbass thinks so i can tell ur one of those whiney bitches that want another sopranos back -_-

  • lmao im soooooo glad your pussy faggot show got cancelled its hilarious! now you and your cocksucker friends have nothing to watch on tv! hbo cancelled that horrible piece of shit show and now its gone, get used to it bitch! ill curb stomp your fucking face and have you coughing up blood, ill shove an ice pick through your throat you slave whore!

  • its always pussys like you who talk shit on the internet i doubt you could even get close to hurting me your a joke why dont you go read a dictionary that wya you dont have to use profanity every two words in your sentences

  • i think john is just an angel. and they say that its Shaun who either is the messiah/2nd coming of christ, or possibly, the anti-christ (child of a junkie and a whore). This would mean that the end of the world was literally imminent.

  • But if Shaun was the anti-christ, why would John a so-called angel want anything to do with him?

  • Maybe because the antichrist is a creation of the angel of beauty. I didnt really understand what was going on and I watched every episode at least twice.

  • 3 times for me!

  • As I said, benthenny, shaun is possibly the 2nd coming or the anti-christ. either way, it would mean "the end is near." regardless of whether he's good or bad, an angel like john would be interested in him. terms like 'good' and 'bad' are meaningless and relative, in the final anaylsis.

  • No John is the face of the earth which is postive not evil and besides good will always overcome evil in the end!

  • Actually, in the end everything will enter a state of equilibrium with all the energy and matter in the universe evenly distributed across space and time.

    So i guess it'll be a tie ;)

  • No!

  • Yes?

  • No!

  • 6........... not including on demand

  • The show was that good! I would love to talk to David Milch!

  • Just a little FYI for all - Best Buy is currently having a sale for JFC Season 1. It's marked down from 50ish to 20 dollars, so if you're looking to show some support for this show & revisit this much missed series, now is definitely the time to move.

    BTW - is this not the greatest opening credits ever? Joe Strummer to open a David Milch TV series... doesn't get better than that!

  • Who is John? GOD or the Devil? It is hard to tell!

  • Did anyone from the show explain who or WHAT John was? I was totally into the show and I could see past the quirkiness of the show, because it was a total original!

    someone...PLEASE....do you have any asnswers about who John was? If not, please tell me that another station will pick it up, or they'll release a (DVD) movie that explain the entire premise...Awesome show though!!!

  • John was Jesus!

  • Is that confirmed? That is what I thought, but is that what the producers said?

  • I think the producers are implying that John is god, a god or an alternate-dimensional being and tha Cincinnati is heaven of another dimension. That the strong implication. Check out the final episode.

  • An incredibly helpful and insightful extra is included with the DVD (totally worth buying for this feature alone). It's a filmed sequence...David Milch has the entire cast gathered on set and is explaining John's monologue from episode six (in the motel parking lot) that clears up a lot of things and alludes to elements that had been planned for the show's second season.

  • On the subject of the nature of John...I know people who believe in Jesus but also do not believe Jesus himself will return. They believe he was one of many people who are sent to inspire others to do good and change the world for the better.

    While I don't necessarily share this view, I believe this is what Milch was after. John is not Jesus per se, but was sent by God to affect change among those on Earth.

  • john from cincinatti=jfc=jesus fucking christ.

  • I love this show and I live in Utah.

  • everybody i know from imperial beach hates this show

    **triple barf***

  • i am a huge Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros fan, just heard about this show. Definitely interested and might pick up the DVD. Also, the music and images go beautifully together.

  • does anyone know who the band is, during the opening credits

  • Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros. Buy the John from Cincinnati DVD on April 1st, help bring this great show back on the airwaves!

  • The show was awesome. When I heard the second season wasn't going to happen I almost canceled my HBO. They just left us hanging.

  • david miltch rocks! if u like david miltch try david lynch and david mamet

  • It's such a great song!

  • Has anyone else looked at the opening sequence frame for frame? After the lovers on the beach they flash to the snakey looking frames then a very quick flash of what looks like a guy in a flat brimmed hat wearing sunglasses. The same image flashes a few frames longer near the end of the sequence. I was wondering if anyone involved with the show has ever commented on the opening sequence.

    I miss JFC. "Tell me the difference between you and a monkey in a tree."

  • Sorry, that Dead Like Me comment was a repy to an older post.

  • please join us in the fight for a second season

    at saveJFC dot net or on HBO BB JFC forums!

    We would love to have you aboard.

  • mad good show

  • The first season will be on dvd next March.

  • i think john was an android but we can never know now

  • I so loved this show like no other. It was an escape and departure from everything for abrief and glorious hour. I live in Cincinnati and my brother John loves the show too. Turned me on to surfing and the Fletchers - upset my wife when I stopped at every surf spot from S.F. to Big Sur. A great show with big energy, an excellent theme song and great closing music. Cancelling that show instead of demanding a more coherent story was the mistake of the year. Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ!

  • the best series ever i swear i shall try to capture its esence in at least one peice of my writing

  • A beautifully bizzare, addicting program.

  • i dont know butchy instead

  • Strange strange show!
