The only reason I have satellite TV is for some of the series I like, and most are on HBO. So today I was getting curious when my favorite show, (Deadwood) was going to start the next season. I bounced over to HBO’s web sight and found out they cancelled the series. This disappointed the heck out me…. So then I figured I’d see when Carnival was going to start again and found out they cancelled it too! Well the idiots cancelled Rome as well and they have no plans to continue on with John from Cincinnati. I’m canceling my subscription to HBO….

I just cancelled my cable. We had it for two months and no one watched it.

Maybe you should Try Californication? It's my new favourite show but it's on Showtime in the States I believe.

Write a letter. If enough people do it, maybe they'll bring the shows back.

Yeah, yeah, it's what my wife says when I bitch about things. ;\)

I wish I could cancel my cable. Friggin' Comcraptic keeps raising the rates. But... no roof antenna, no dish allowed...

I've never really watched HBO or Showtime, now that DirecTv has around 70 HD channels I've got plenty of stuff to see. \:\)

You CAN cancel cable. There's no rule anywhere that you have to replace it with something...

DVD all the way here. The last show I was willing to watch ota was studio 60, and the stupid bastards cancelled it.
I figure for what cable would cost I can buy a lot of shows on dvd and have something at the end of the year. Plus- I no longer do commercials. \:\/
