Obviously, I'm disappearing on June 11th

I love HBO. I do. I would get rid of my phone to keep HBO (I have given up long distance to keep HBO in the past).

It's Sopranos night. Now, we've finally out grown having some form of Italian pasta on Sundays, but our household stops at 9PM. The phone doesn't ring. The cats cease to exist. Even the boy showers and readies for bed without any assistance or proding (we put the fear of Tony into him).

First ad before Sopranos: Dane Cook's Tourgasm. OMG. Dane Cook. If you don't know who this lovely, beautiful standup comedian is, climb out from under your rock and join the rest of us. Christchex? Acidy-spit? He's a fucking genius. HBO's giving him his own series based on his standup comedy tour? Pardon me while I pass right out.

Second ad before Sopranos: Lucky Louie. HBO is trying it's hand at a standup comedian's sitcom? It looks kind of cheesy, but all right. I'll give it a try.

Third ad before Sopranos: Deadwood. Now, HBO is smart. Last week, they had various characters voice-overing Bible Beatitudes. Slick, slick, slick. This week, the ad starts the same, but now they're clipping in bytes from the upcoming shows. As if last week's commerical didn't wind my ass up enough - this has me on the edge of my seat. This ad reminded me of how much I love a good chain yank. Damn.

If I can't have Whedon television, I'm keeping HBO.

Deadwood's a-comin', and hell's coming with it.

television, hbo
