Quit whoring
Quit whoring. That's right Stephen, you read me right (and I know you read these message boards) - quit whoring and stay away from the dry Teets of HBO. They've proved time and time again that they just don't get your brand of comedy. Life's Too Short, Extras, and now Hello Ladies were all canceled well before they were allowed to get any traction with viewers. The worst and latest offense was Hello Ladies. This was one of the best new comedies of 2013 and HBO gives it a paltry 8 episodes? They cancel it, and then you appear on HBO's Real Time and agree to a two-hour special to wrap up loose ends for Hello Ladies? Move on from HBO, and go with a network like AMC that knows when to take chances and allow for shows to grow.
You're better than this, Stephen - get out from under the tired old whore that is HBO. They may get drama, but the execs there don't have a sense of humor.
