HBO announced that they weren't planning to pick up people's contracts, and then as a followup offer, they offered a 6-episode season, which Milch wasn't interested in doing. There's a lot of bitterness in his last commentary on S3 about how unfinished the stories are -- he had a part in the stalemate, certainly, but it doesn't sound to me like he didn't want to do any more.

As long as we get more Flight of the Conchords, I'm keeping my HBO. If they kill that in an untimely fashion, I'd probably switch to Showtime so I can get Dexter live (and Billie Piper as a 'ho).

thanks amy. I was not an HBO subscriber then, so I thought Milch was the one who decided to pull out.

HBO has been fucking up since they didn't fund season 3 of Carnivale, IMO. Just to bring up an old wound.

they had a wierd thing where I had showtime, HBO, etc. Then it suddenly stopped. it was after a storm, so I thought that it might be due to that. They told me that I'd only had it for a 6 month deal. I said okay, and hung up. then I started thinking, not only had I had it for 9 months, it didn't even end when he said that it had ended. So, now I'm wondering if they just forgot and then noticed.

The other weird thing is that he didn't try to upsell me at all. You would think that when a customer calls in upset that they've lost their pay channels that they would try to sell them to you. He was like "whatever"

Did you watch last week's episode?

Well I saw the one with the luchadors and then I went ahead and watched one that recorded last night with the plastic surgery aliens. Sadly, my opinion has not changed.

You don't have to whitefont if it's aired on the East Coast. Of course, what little discussion there has been has been in Boxed Set.

I'm still really enjoying it.

Flight of the Conchords

I've just started watching this on DVD, while waiting for the 1st part of Entourage Season 3 to come in. OMG it's a riot. The guys are so droll. I love Murray and his meetings, complete with roll call. The last ep I watched was the David Bowie-through-the-years visitation thing. Took me a few minutes to figure out who was playing David Bowie. Cracked me up.

eta fixed typo

LOVE CONCHORDS LOVE LOVE!!!

(hmm. fandom seems to have broken my caps lock key. must to investigate.)

eta: the freaky thing about the Bowie ep for me is always how much he reminds me of Eddie Izzard.

I've found Conchords improves on re-watch, because there are so many little things you pick up the second (or fifth) time around (the New Zealand travel posters, for instance). Plus, I can't always absorb the genius inanity of the lyrics in one go sometimes.

I recently rewatched the whole first season and find this to be very true. Half the time I was asking myself "how did I miss that the first time around?" Except Bowie. I loved that episode enormously the first time.
