Are you cancelling HBO when the Sopranos ends?

Depends on when The Wire starts. If it doesn't start for a while, which one assumes will be the case, I'll probably cancel in between. Big Love didn't do anything for me.

No because Big Love S2 is coming.
It will be interesting to see them in reset mode with Sopranos, Deadwood, and Rome all gone. Have to give them a chance to prove themselves.

I basically never pay more than $2 a month for HBO, and have it virtually year round. If you have DirecTV, just call and ask if they have any deals on HBO. Pretty much every 6 months I can call and get $10 off for 6 months. You can generally get Showtime free for 6 months at a crack as well, if you like it.
And if I did pay full price, I'd get it through the summer - Entourage and Big Love (which I'm anticipating more than I did The Sopranos).

Yes, my HBO will be gone. I'm even considering getting rid of it even prior to Sopranos being over, considering how craptacular this last season has been.

No, Big Love will begin soon. Entourage's next season starts about the same time. The Wire will be returning also. I also want to see what HBO comes out with next. If all of the new shows suck, THEN I'll cancel HBO.

Of course not. HBO always has great shows and original films, not to mention their superior sports reporting. People are always eulogizing them when one of the more mainstream shows concludes its run, but the network keeps producing, and I can't imagine what it would be like to have missed shows like The Wire or Big Love.

No, but without carnivale, deadwood, sopranos and rome and no new episodes of the wire, I'm not going to be watching it for a while. When the wire goes, I go.

I haven't had HBO (or Showtime or The Movie Channel) since 1984 when my parents paid for it.
Lived fine without them ever since.
Only shows I have watched from "pay cable" are Larry Sanders and Curb, and both of those are on DVD. I don't know why I would pay for pay cable...and unless the disposable income is shooting out of my ass $40 a second I won't pay for it either.

No because of:
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Real Time With Bill Mahar
Big Love
True Blood
Preacher (Does anyone know anything about this???? I heard something a long time ago and dont know if this is even happening but I can still hope.....)
But HBO needs to get thier shit together and start broadcasting movies in widescreen and they need to stop canceling great series after 2 or 3 seasons (Carnivale, Deadwood,)
