No commercials! A huge oversight on my end, but certainly relevant.

Whoops, sorry for the typos. And I meant new episodes, not just the new shows.

Madison – you forgot one key aspect of why HBO and Showtime shows are so much better than the major networks – NO COMMERCIALS! Not only do you gain an extra fifteen minute per hour with which to extend the story, you keep the viewer engrossed for the entire hour rather than ten-minute chunks. I typically prefer watching the shows on DVD or online so I can watch a bunch of episodes at once, but even fot the new shows that extra attention really allows you to appreciate the shows more.

As you can tell, I certainly agree with you here.

Most of the Tv I watch on Cable is on FX
it’s always sunny
Sons of anarchy
rescue me
terriers (which I’m pleasantly surprised with)

most other networks I only watch one show on

for premium channels I would definitely say HBO has the most quality, but I also need Showtime for Dexter and to a lesser extent Weeds

Haha oh my god I thought he was joking. I looked him up on google as he was rattling off all his kids’ names to see if he missed any. Apparently if he sneezes on you, you get knocked up

I don’t really have an opinion on this since I’m doing that starving college kid thing and can’t get HBO, don’t watch much tv to begin with, and despite everyone else saying ‘ohmygod it’s soooooo good’ I’ve yet to begin watching stuff like Dexter (it’s on my list, I just haven’t gotten to it yet). But I just needed to say this: Whywhywhy the picture of the Cryptkeeper? >.< That stupid thing scarred me as a child (I swear my dad would watch that damn show ONLY because it scared me so much) and I still can't look at it without wanting to cry.

Feel free to ignore my comment since it really has nothing to do with the article, but I just needed to get it out there.

Of course I saw that – soooo bad. But that was nothing compared to Cromartie naming all his children. 2007 was a helluva year for him!

Haha they are…the coaches are ridiculous. Please tell me you saw when they asked one of the coaches how many feet are in a yard (they were asking questions from are you smarter than a fifth grader)

He said 12.

ha ha. glad to see people who aren’t “real big on television” writing blogs on the subject…. kind of makes your opinion like mine when it comes to football. i don’t care for football or really ever watch it, but come read my blog on which team is the best…

i don’t pay for premium channels, simply because we live in the age of hulu and the sort. however, i would pay for showtime over any other channel.

dexter, weeds and californication are the only 3 shows i watch from showtime, but the caliber of them make that channel number one in my book.

the only show i have gotten into from hbo is east bound and down… absolutely despised the sopranos and 2 episodes of true blood was enough to make me want to gouge my eyes out. but, to each their own.

now BRAVO…. that is pure, mindless entertainment. i watch everything on that channel except for that real housewives garbage.

Agree with Vidiot. AMC not only has the best stable of shows in the non-pay TV universe, but their movie selection is inspired. Who else today would run a Mad Max trilogy marathon (just last week, in fact)?

Everyone else is spewing out light-on-story, imbecile-pandering commercial drivel. For instance, I would rather spend an hour under water torture than watch “No Ordinary Family’…
