Are you watching True Blood? I haven't read the books yet, but I've somehow got sucked into following the show religiously. TB has the advantage of being a vampire show. They get to play the 'it's just fantasy' card if they like, or claim that critics are misinterpreting the show's metaphors, if they don't want a fight. Preacher, for all its fantastic elements, is a western/crime story first, I think. That makes it... a little closer to people, and easier to take seriously. So there's that.

Showtime is a possibility, though their shows tend to have a lower production budget.

I just find him kinda dull. He's a walking cliche

That's fair. I can actually sit through spaghetti Western marathons, so I'm not a good judge for these things. *g*

I actually agree with you about Herr Starr. Did you find the Arseface stuff funny? I found a lot of it tiresome and I kept getting the feeling that Ennis was reading over my shoulder, waiting for me to be delighted.
