Cancel the premium channels for a while?

Six Feet Under is over... I think Dead Like Me is over or almost over... is anything else worthwhile going on? I'm finding them worthless as of late. I don't really watch movies on them, I usually have seen them before they are on the channels anyhow. Is there anything good going on that I'm missing? When the crap are they going to have Carnivale and Deadwood again? And why the crap do they only have one season of a show per year, that sucks! Season just isn't a good name IMO.

I'm looking forward to the next head scratching season of Carnivale, I think its suposed to be on in January... but i could be wrong.

6fu ended like 2 weeks ago. Is it really coming back in January?

Anyone have the last episode of 6fu? I was out of town and havent caught the replay.

I haven't gotten the premium channels in a long time, and I won't get them again until they start broadcasting everything in letterbox.

Well on the HD channels they pretty much do... and that's where I watch 90% of my stuff on those channels.

Heh, I haven't had any cable except my internet connection since June or July....don't miss it at all.

BTW, I think I'll use the money I'm saving towards an HD card for my HTPC. I was thinking of getting the ATI HD Wonder, because I can get it for like $111 as a refurb from newegg after rebate... How much is the one that can get QAM signals again? Isn't it the Fusion?

I dont get any of the premium channels, they're a waste of money. Any good show will be put out on DVD eventually, or if I really want to see it, I just goto my friend's place to watch.

I do like the HBO and/or Showtime On Demand services. There's usually 2 or 3 movies I end up watching over the course of a month on there.

HBO generally only runs one 1hr series at a time in the sunday slot. Not always, but generally. That's a good thing, because they are all varying degrees of good.

Check out The Wire, by far the best cop show on TV. Family Bonds is decent too. Da Ali G show is on after the two of those, then finally is capped off with Def Poetry Jam where you can hear hot liberal women scream about their inner children while mos def tries to make poetry but comes off sounding like alfonso ribero in fresh prince of bel air.
