HBO's slogan "It's More Than You Imagined. It's HBO" certainly is a one that rings true. Up until 2009 their slogan was "It's Not TV. It's HBO." And I couldn't agree more. They've made some of the greatest TV-series ever. Period. Here are a couple of shows from HBO which are highly watchable. And THAT is an understatement.
Six Feet Under
Wonderful show. Great characters. Epic.
Band of Brothers
Show about a group of paratroppers during the 2nd World War. Based on true events, and just the intro gives me goosebumps. The music for the show is also wonderful.
The Sopranos
Again... Characters, charecters, charecters.
The Wire
This show is epic. Shows not just one side of every story, and again it gives the viewers such a great inside look on the characters. Omar's coming!
Some great scenes from the shows...

You seen the Shield? I love it, maybe even more than the Sopranos. It's not HBO but it's good. HBO also does great standup comedy. . . check out a show called Life Is Worth Losing by the late, great George Carlin. I saw him in NYC, it was wild.

Yeah, I've seen The Shield. Great show! Haven't seen the last season, though.. Will have to refresh it before I finish it!
ReplyDeleteAnd cheers for the link to George Carlin. I've heard the name many times, but never got around to checking him out!
