Which Canceled HBO Show Will You Miss the Most?

HBO issued a small bit of good news for one of its shows today, and a big dose of bad news for three others: the cable network renewed Enlightened but canceled Hung, How to Make It in America and Bored to Death.

HBO issued a small bit of good news for one of its shows today, and a big dose of bad news for three others: the cable network renewed Enlightened but canceled Hung, How to Make It in America and Bored to Death. All three series just wrapped up their most recent (and now final) seasons — Hung and Bored to Death finished out their third seasons while How to Make It in America just ended its second run. Even though Hung just earned a Golden Globe nomination for star Thomas Jane, the show and its fellow series on the chopping block all suffered from low ratings. HBO will have a slew of newbies in place soon enough, but until then, let's mourn for these dearly departed series. Tell us now: which of these canceled HBO shows will you miss most?

Isla Fisher Gets Down to Business at Coney Island

Isla Fisher was suited up on the set of HBO's Bored to Death at Coney Island yesterday.

Isla Fisher was suited up on the set of HBO's Bored to Death at Coney Island yesterday. She flashed a smile to fans in between takes, despite her serious dress for her cameo character. Isla was a little more relaxed at Sunday's Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, where she hung out with fellow Australians Naomi Watts and Hugh Jackman. She and Naomi were spotted lunching together just last month in NYC when she wasn't busy strolling the streets with her daughters Olive and Elula.

Major networks are always churning out sitcoms, but sometimes you have to dig a little deeper to get to the really funny stuff.

Major networks are always churning out sitcoms, but sometimes you have to dig a little deeper to get to the really funny stuff. Let's face it: on cable, writers are able to get away with more indecency and dark humor (prime example: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia). These series definitely pushed the proverbial envelope this year and had us laughing hard. Which is your 2010 favorite?

This week marked the finale of Bored to Death's debut season, and I'm wondering what you all thought of the show. It took me a few episodes to warm up to the comedy, but my love for Jason Schwartzman can't be stopped.

We already know that Bored to Death will be back for a second season, but what do you think of the first — yay or nay?
