Trivia:
Michael J. Anderson was a guest star on "Humbug," a 1995 episode of "The X-Files" in which he played a hotel owner who was offended when Mulder mistook him for a carnival worker (the episode was about a town inhabited by a large number of retired or wintering carnies). In "Carnivàle" (2003), Anderson plays the head of a traveling carnival. moreGoofs:

I think Carnivale has to be one of the most incredibly addictive series I have ever seen. However, all my friends seem to disagree.. so I have to ask, am I alone or are there others who feel the same? I mean, the overall darkness of its themes and how brother Justin ties into Hawkins is very compelling. There is also the fact that if I listened to a description of the show, (traveling carnival in the great depression era) I would have never watched it. But I saw every episode in one day, with no real idea what it was about and now I have to say its my favorite HBO series ever... am I alone?? hehe
