God I freakin hate cable station companies
I just read that HBO is putting the release of the Mr. Show DVD on hold. Im sick of this crap, its just like MTV pulling The State and Comedy Central not showing The Upright Citizens Brigade. Why do all the genious comedy troupes get screwed by cable stations????

Probably because all 3, although they have loyal fanbases, are "niche" shows that probably wouldn't sell enough to be profitable?

HBO has done more to support quality TV and quality DVD releases in the recent years than any other station, so I'll be content to wait for Mr. Show. Comedy Central, on the other hand, still needs to get its act together.
