Yay Boardwalk! The show that every season always starts of a little to slow for me then goes crazy and comes together perfectly, love it.
ReplyDeleteEastbound and Down, hell yeah ! I love this show, such excellent dialogue and situations.
ReplyDeleteKenny Powers has got to be one of the best characters to have ever existed on television.
So this is "the final season" for real, this time ? Not that I would mind if they did a fifth season, I'd love it, but prior to season 3 they had said it would be the last one (and it certainly could have ended the show), until it wasn't. Now I'm cautious, but if HBO says it in a press release, it's got to be true.
I'm also looking forward to seeing what Stephen Merchant does on his show.
And Boardwalk Empire, obviously, not to be missed. It starts early this year, September 8 when the previous three seasons. I associate this show with Christmas because I always catch up then :).
Looks like Boardwalk is starting a little bit earlier!
