HBO Cancels Three Shows: Which One Deserves Another Chance?

It's axing season over at HBO, and three unlucky shows took it right to the neck. The network pulled "Hung," about a baseball coach-slash-male prostitute, "Bored to Death," an artsy comedy starring Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifianakis, and "How to Make It in America," about a couple of friends in the NYC fashion scene.

We're not too surprised at the demise of "Hung," which received warm reviews from critics but less-than-enthusiastic ratings, but "Bored to Death" was a well-liked show that will likely be missed by Schwartzman and Galifianakis fans. "How to Make It in America" was a little less obvious. "Hung" and "Bored" were in their third seasons and well into their story archs; "How to Make It" was only in its second.

    The HBO show that was cancelled that I was upset about was "Rome". It did two seasons and was great!

    Honestly I haven't watched any of these shows, sad for the people who were employed by them though...

    I watched a couple episodes of hung, but I grew bored. I don't care which HBO show gets cancelled as long as they leave my True Blood alone.

    Hung was pretty funny, and a lesson to really how you can make it in America (pun intended) if you really try...or at least become resourceful. Bored to death sucked!!!! it made me want to die after only a few seconds. HTMIIA that was pretty good....it was OK, but at least entertaining.

    We have true blood which is darn good, specially last season....and I can't wait for book 2 of Game of Thrones. I read the first book and the story line was pretty amazingly close to the book. April I heard....

    I liked hung . Yeah it was slow but not everything has to be action packed and full of tween emo gay vampires .

    Deadwood was so good I never understood why the took it off the air . I have been watching hell on wheels kinda reminds me of deadwood but not as good .

    Haven't watch any of them, don't even feel curious about them.

    I enjoy True Blood, and I know my brother likes Games of Thrones, so as long as they don't cancel or delayed any of those, I am good.

    Have to say, the Entourage finale was a huge let down. It was way too rushed.

    That's actually pretty funny that he's playing hung lover, when in fact he has quite a small package ;P
    But still, I would kill for a minute of hugging to his chest xD

    I watched a few episodes of all of them...they all sucked. HTMIIA was probably the best of them all. Bored to Death summed up what the show was about.

    What I'm still tripping on is that the tittle of this television show is, "Hung," and the staring actor is not a BLACK guy! Wow, times have really changed, huh? :) lol

    Weeds is great but HBO still has Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones which are incredible.

    I tried to get into Boardwalk Empire b/c I've heard it's great and I like the cast, just couldn't get interested in it.

    So were you surprised Nucky shot James? (damn) I'll miss him. And what was Margaret thinking when she signed over the land deed to the church? She better take a fast boat back to Ireland and beyond....
  • ..::loc... Bronti 2011/12/24 19:40:46
    ..::localeye::..
    I wasn't surprised but i was disappointed because of how good of a charter he was. The end with Margaret signing over the deed and them toasting on the land was a great way to end the season.

    I can fully understand why these 3 were cancelled. HBO just don't cancel Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and Bill Maher.
