Seriously-how many people pay for HBO. We get it free for a week or so about 4 times a year and to be honest there isn't anything worth watching on the premium movie channels either. Same shows over and over and over and over---boring.

HBO and Showtime have always found a niche for gaining subscribers for popular shows. Think about how long those two have been around and you might understand they are doing something right.

HBO is what Netflix is trying to become now.

They produced the most iconic shows of my lifetime. Sopranos, GoT, sex and the city, Oz, the wire and Mr. Show. They were one of the best premium channels you could get, they took power away from advertisers and bank rolled artist’s vision(boobs on tv).

I guess HBO is keeping it in house.

I saw an ad for a deadwood movie, so GoT movie franchise isn’t out the picture. I could see them doing a trilogy similar to lord of the rings.

They bundle everything so you don't even know what you are paying for.

They have already started shooting another series, not sure about movies.

They are also doing a reality show with a bunch of competing plumbers.

I think we’re gonna have a baby this week. Probably in a day or two.

Keep em' coming! You can do it!

History Channel is going to do one with people butchering pigs. Another one of their shows based on the Top Chef format. Way beyond market saturation. I thought it was a joke when I heard about that one.

That is the Iron Throne. Many people died trying to win that throne.

The woman makes $75,000 a year, no kids or husband. She obviously doesn’t know how to manage her money or make any sacrifices.

My daughter and her boyfriend are taking some classes this summer at our community college because the classes are half the price of the university they’re going to and also because it will help them graduate earlier. They’ve realized that the only thing that will matter is the name on their diploma. No one will ask where they took all their classes.

But “reality” shows are all super scripted. Not reality at all.
