HBO cancellations and renewals

[SHAKEMASTER TV9 is Don Knotts]

Storm of Swords could be split. I could see Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons being combined. They were originally one book that got bigger than intended.

I was hoping for an Oz return.

For ice and fire readers, game of thrones needs to start combining seasons/books so we can actually get the whole story. I wouldn't be opposed to some tv conversion mercy killings of Bran. Breen, Catlyn Stark(I know dudes but its going nowhere and wastes pages better used on Dany and Jon).

Uhh, how far are you into the books? Bran and Brienne are really, really important. Catelyn, same, but not as much as those two, probably.

Finished with DOD. Sorry but following her stuff with Jamie Brienne annoys me with her wasteful chapters. Bran's bore me. I have a theory about cold hands identity but that is my only interest in his stuff. Catlyn, well w/o spoiling it for non readers, I was more interested in Lord Beric so maybe he should have kept his gift.

I liked Hung


Glad Game of Thrones will be back but I assumed that, gets way too much buzz to get cancelled.

Awwww...no more Thomas Jane and his "Punisher"?

Or surprise Lake Bell titties.

Never before had a title so succinctly described it's program as "Bored to Death" did. I'm genuinely astonished to find out that show had a following.

Meanwhile, Thomas Jane just wants his kids show back.

"I find a nation of sleepers and slackers, and it's not our fault, we've been conditioned to stay asleep. We wake up briefly, but by then we're too tired and shell shocked and beaten down to do anything about it, because we realize half of our life is gone," Jane continues. "Generally, the easiest thing to do is to fall back asleep and just sort of nestle in and wait for a bit until we slough off the mortal coil and call it quits. That's the metaphor in our film of death."

He continues to ramble and rant like a crazy person, but it begins to delve into politics, so I cannot post the rest here. Needless to say, somebody isn't too thrilled that he's out of work.

I liked Hung, but I could tell they were having troubles with their plots this season, like they were running out of ideas and things to do. So I think it was on it's last legs, but one more season wouldn't have hurt.

The only reason "Bored" was watchable was because of Ted Danson. The detective stuff never worked, and Zach seemed like he was on a different show.

I didn't even make it through the first season of "America" it was so boring.

I watched "Enlightened" but I can only say I was indifferent to it. I see potential, but they definately need to do some retooling. (Make Dern's character less whiney, for one. Get rid of her mom, etc.)
