When was the last time you turned on HBO? Those shows were all of two years ago and “John” was very quickly cancelled, wasn’t it? I really enjoyed the last season of “Hung” (assuming you wanna classify it as a ‘drama’) and there’s been some great comedies, “Life and TImes of Tim” and “Eastbound and Down” to name the better, newer ones. HBO definitely has had some lame programming on (“True Blood” and “Bored to Death”), but I would hardly say that everything they put out is “boring crap”.

That teaser was pretty boring, but I’ll check it out.

I hate how pretentious HBO is with their dramas. This along with the David Milch/Michael Mann show about freaking HORSE RACING are perfect examples. The reason why True Blood has been such a huge hit and struck a chord with the audience is because it knows it exactly what it is- a fun, trashy, popcorn show, it’s the same reason why Big Love is doing solid for them. HBO seems to be focused on producing boring crap- Tell Me you love me (a show trying just way to hard to be “edgy”), In Treatment(who wants to watch a show about therapy?) and John from Cincinnati (probably one of the top 5 worst shows of the decade).

What a great area/time period! I wish I could see what’s going on in that video better, but I’m pretty pumped all the same.

Future critics soundbites: “it’s deadwood meets the sopranos”,”HBO pour us another one”.
