Jef is becoming a real regular here on the blog with another fantastic post! This time he takes a look at some of the ‘little’ shows that help make HBO an amazing network.
We all love the BIG shows, don’t we? They clearly get the most hits & comments and it is a bit easier to find out all of the buzz about them. It started with Oz, and The Larry SandersShow Then along came The Sopranos, then you can add Deadwood and The Wire to the list. My fave was Rome and now there is True Blood, Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones. There might be other series here that you thought were blockbuster but, they are not my focus here. Don’t get me wrong I love those BIG shows, from the past and present as much as the next viewer but there is something to be said for the little guy, the smaller shows that have made it to air.
Got a half-hour? Why don’t you check out one of the comedy half-hours series on HBOGO; then come back here to leave us a comment below and tell us what you think.

It is certainly difficult to watch all the shows on HBO;you can only seek out what really interests you. Just like a viewer doesn’t watch every show on ABC or DISCOVERY or any other channel.
The nice thing is that subscribers have HBOGO to frequent to catch up on some of the missed shows. I watch it more than I watch the actual channel sometimes.
I’m so guilty of overlooking these shows! I’ve been watching much more since running this blog but still can’t watch it all! Purgatory was amazing last week. Life’s too Short looks interesting. Veep and Enlightened are must sees!
