Buzz In: What Do You Think of HBO's New Sunday Night Lineup?
While the Emmys were going down on CBS last night, HBO unveiled its latest Sunday lineup. True Blood and Hung may be out for now, but in their place, the network brought in another season of Curb Your Enthusiasm and new show Bored to Death to air before Entourage.
I'm curious to hear what you guys think about the schedule and this week's episodes.
HBO Might Make a Show Based on "Savage Love" Column
When I was in college I used to read Dan Savage's sex column because, while not always particularly relevant to my experiences, it was always entertaining. Savage's column, "Savage Love," is wickedly funny, often racy and very honest. Now, HBO may be home to a TV series based on the raunchy column.
Laura Dern and Mike White Get Enlightened at HBO
Are enlightened folks the new nurses, when it comes to TV trends? Just a couple of weeks after Showtime announced a religion-themed show called Revelation, HBO is developing a series of its own called Enlightened.
Enlightened, from School of Rock writer (and recent Amazing Race contestant) Mike White, will star Laura Dern as "a formerly self-destructive woman who, after having a spiritual awakening, becomes determined to live an enlightened life, creating havoc at home and work."
A Seinfeld Reunion — and Other News From HBO
HBO took the stage at the Television Critics Association press tour on Thursday and came out with plenty of big news, including a Seinfeld reunion on Curb Your Enthusiasm, new seasons of several shows, and a new animated series from the folks behind The Office. Want to know more? Here goes:

TV Tonight: Prom Night in Mississippi
Ever since I read a New York Times story about the enduring tradition of segregated proms at some Southern high schools, I've been curious to see the documentary Prom Night in Mississippi. The film, which premieres on HBO tonight, tells the story of Charleston, Mississippi, which held its first integrated prom in 2008 with the urging (and funding) of Morgan Freeman.
Sounds uplifting .
Sarandon, Goodman Join Pacino in HBO's Dr. Kevorkian Movie
HBO Films' biopic of Jack Kevorkian, You Don't Know Jack, already has its Dr. Kevorkian in Al Pacino. Now Pacino has castmates in Susan Sarandon and John Goodman.
Middlesex to Become One-Hour Drama Series on HBO
Not to be overly dramatic or anything, but at first glance this news made my stomach do somersaults. Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides (The Virgin Suicides), is one of my all-time favorite books, and I've always assumed (with some sadness) that it would eventually be adapted for the big or small screen. Sure enough, now there's news that HBO may be developing a one-hour dramatic series based on the novel.
First Look: Schwartzman, Galifianakis in HBO's Bored to Death
A weekly dose of Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifianakis on my TV? Yes, please! HBO has released a teaser for its newest half-hour comedy series Bored to Death, which will premiere in September.
Alan Ball Says Season Two of True Blood Is "Sexier and Gorier"
The second season of HBO's True Blood kicks off tonight and doesn't waste any time jumping into the scary murder madness that has engulfed the citizens of Bon Temps.
According to the show's creator, Alan Ball, everything intensifies this season: vampires are more monstrous, sex scenes are even sexier, shape-shifters become more, er, shape-shiftery, and the anti-vampire movement becomes even more zealous.
Here are more highlights from the conference call Ball recently held with reporters:
- Talking about the serial killer: "The first season we, the audience, did not know who the serial killer was.
First Look: HBO's Hung
Apparently, we really need to pay our teachers more in this country. First, Breaking Bad's Walt White turned to drugs to provide for his family. Now, Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane) — the protagonist of HBO's upcoming series Hung — is envisioning a way out of his underpaid, underappreciated life by rising to fame and fortune on the strength of his .
