HBO is crap right now.

[yankeesfan]

Is there anything good in the pipeline?

 

[Platypus]

anything 'good' will become too expensive to produce and get canceled despite being wildly popular.

That's what killed Rome and Deadwood.

The Pacific

 

[rudeguy]

nothing new...right now its Showtime's time of the year.

 

[TehMac]

That's what killed Rome

You're the only person I know other than me that liked Rome. I wish it was a commercial success, but apparently it wasn't enough to justify the "million bucks/episode" cost.

The Pacific

Yes, that sounds good.

Yes, that sounds good.

Every thread we have about TV shows in OT there always seems to be a lot of Rome support.

Yeah - I thought it was great!

We need another quality war mini-series like Band of Brothers

I loved the first season of rome, just not so much the 2nd but still liked it. Pacific looks good. Band of Brothers in the Pacific.

 

[Exterous]

Pacific looks good. Band of Brothers in the Pacific.

Wait...really?

<- quickly searches google

Edit: Well I have high hopes for that series

 

[PottedMeat]

everybody liked rome, it's just they'd already dramatized the most familiar parts of roman history - the life of julius caesar and the rise of augustus, i guess they could have done a fall of rome thing too though. too bad the sets burned down.

 

[n yusef]

David Simon is coming back in April with "Treme," about musicians in post-Katrina New Orleans.

 

[TheNoblePlatypus]

That's what killed Rome and Deadwood.

Carnivale was another fatality.
