I'm looking forward to this. It's gotten some really great reviews.

No thanks. After the recent HBO bloodbath I won't ever be paying for their services again.

Maybe I'll catch this on DVD/Blu if it gets renewed.

Are you still mad about How to Make it in America and Hung getting cancelled? Dude, get over it. I know you said it was cheap to produce and shouldn't have gotten the axe, but noone is going to remember them 5 years from now.

And Bored to Death.

Very few people remember any show in 5 years.

Okay, you aren't paying for HBO and won't be watching. I won't question your decision-making. It's your money.

I'm looking forward to this. Seems promising. HBO put on some clunkers there for a while.

This is the wrong forum to make that argument, and frankly, I'm stunned it's coming from you. rotfl I can give you a whole list of premature cancellations of great/promising shows from before 2007. :lol:

Okay, not to go way off topic. Entertainment Weekly gave it an A

I'm optimistic about this one too.

It looks about as bad as How to Make it in America. That show was unwatchable. I didn't even know those three shows were cancelled.

Anyone see Dunham's Tiny Furniture? Pretty awful...and a lot of Criterion enthusiasts hate that its on the label. This looks pretty good though.

I've heard good things so I'll give it a shot.

I don't think it looks good but all the reviews have been good so I'll be watching it after Mad Men.

I have this set to record mainly to see Allison Williams, Brian Williams hot daughter.

From Patton Oswalt's twitter (if anyone was wondering what they may be getting into) i'll prob watch tomorrow)
GIRLS. Holy shit. Think @louisck is "painfully honest"? Wait 'til you take a squirm-rocket with the hilarious @lenadunham.

I'm sold. Didn't think I was going to like it but all the characters were excruciatingly empathetic.

Really good start.

I enjoyed this but I wonder how it will do compared to more traditional comedies like E&D and Veep. I could see HBO jumping early on this. They probably should have wedged it between GoT and E&D for the premiere to maximize viewership.

I really enjoyed it. Loved the casting of her parents.

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this nearly as much as I did. Will definitely keep watching.

I was interested in it, but the wife wasn't really down for it, I'll try to convince her to give it a shot.

I liked it but after all the hype it was a little underwhelming to say the least.
