The Comeback: what should happen to it?

I think they should pull this off the air ASAP. If this show gets another season, then HBO truly has its head up its arse.

It should get to run the rest of the season. If the eps are already in the can, then there isn't much damage letting them air. HBO seems to be better in this respect than other networks. I'm sure the show has some fans, they deserve to see the rest of the season.

Has HBO ever canceled a show? Or do they just not renew them?

Network television is an entirely different game than a pay channel.

HBO isn't going to lose any money by airing the remaining episodes of The Comeback.

FOX would lose advertisers and their money if it aired the remaining episodes of Wonderfalls.

And there have been a lot of shows out there that have been cancelled that were light years better than Wonderfalls (and this is coming from a fan of Mr. Minear). Don't get your panties in a bunch because one show you enjoyed got cancelled early on and you had to pay $25 for a DVD set of the show. Be grateful that Fox even released the show to DVD.

Take the worst charactrer/actress from a nauseating show and put her on HBO. Gee, how could this have turned into such crap? The mind wobbles.

Still a fan. Looking forward to more.

Last two eps have been good as Valerie begins to realize the truth about her career and starts to stand up for herself.

Let it complete the season, then not renew it.

Arli$$, a show that got renewed time and again despite protest.

I always though that if anyone needed proof of Satan's existence, Arli$$ was it. That show was the shame of a generation. A small amount of respect can be recovered by annihilating shows like The Comeback early on.

This show is doomed. Ala Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
