Flight of the Conchords. The Wire. American Splendor.

You know what a chinese was in 1800's right? It's not a actualy chinese person, just a term for backstabbing they used back then (your guess is as good as mine).

You mentioned ''chinks'' in another post. I thought you were continuing with the schtick. My apologies then.

In response to a question regarding what Benioff is doing right now he responds, "I’m doing a series at HBO. A crappy way of describing it would be The Sopranos in Middle Earth. I was a huge fantasy geek growing up."

HBO-HD was pretty good. It got to be too expensive though after Time Warner took over from Adelphia.

I canceled it since I didn't have much time for TV anyways.

No Entourage love? I just ordered Season 3 Part 1.

I'm a huge Entourage fan. I miss Sopranos and SitC.

I'm not sure if I'd recommend Deadwood. The first season is awesome but there's some major problems with the other 2. Season 2 is just flat out boring while season 3 is so fucking anticlimatic that I wonder why I even wasted my time watching the series in the first place.

The Wire rocks though and Carnivale is interesting but there's no conclusion. I thought I'd be able to deal with that but the last episode of season 2 had so many WTF moments that it's total kick in balls realizing that there will be no wrap up.

Yeah, it really makes it hard to recommend, despite how much I enjoyed it.

Some older HBO flicks that were good include RKO 281, which was about the making of Citizen Kane, with Liev Schriever as Orson Wells, and I really loved Don King: Only in America. Both worth checking out, the Don King flick even if you're not into boxing.

And I'll weep the day Entourage goes off the air.

Mr. Show

Also, there's the new Bob and David pilot thingie called "David's Situation" that sounds totally awesome, and if HBO doesn't pick it up I will punch whoever made that decision in the genitals.

Ah yes, Mr Show, how did I forget?

Anyone know when the new season starts? My wife and I are thinking about getting HBO instead of downloading a lot of the shows illegally.

edit: JANUARY 2009?!!? WTF?
