Most of you know Deborah Ann Woll from as HBO’s loveliest vampire progeny, Jessica Hamby.  But as gorgeous as she is the actress takes a back seat to her long-time boyfriend when it comes to inspirational life stories. EJ Scott is a young man with a degenerative disease that affects eyesight called Choroideremia. He is slowly becoming blind and will eventually lose his eyesight completely. But EJ shows no sign of slowing down and the couple has produced the following PSA to raise awareness: “The worst thing for a cause is silence… So you’ve got to get up and do...

“You know what I’m gonna do from now on, I’m gonna ask people if they’re gay before I have sex with them.” Your not going to find many Baby Boomers singing praises to HBO’s hit new series, ‘Girls.’ The simple truth is that ‘Girls’ is not for everyone. Let me repeat: GIRLS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. It takes a specific taste, a specific knowledge of pop-culture, a specific sense-of-humor to fully comprehend and appreciate this revolutionary series and its witty characters. Executive Producer, Judd Apatow and Writer/Director, Lena Dunham...

I ran across an article on a website I thought I’d share; it is on a site for a magazine about Louisiana’s music and culture called Offbeat. It appears that Consulting Editor John Swenson was present as HBO’s TREME wrapped up filming on location in New Orleans. Here is a brief article written 02.13 of what transpired. It is a scene shot on Frenchman Street of yet another musical moment that has infused the series since episode one.       It was a raw and misty late afternoon in February during Mardi Gras. Spotlights illuminated the gloaming Marigny shadows with a...

A few weeks ago, HBO started a new website called MyWatchBegins.com where fans can record themselves reciting the Night’s Watch Oath from Game of Thrones. On Feb. 19th - the date the S2 Blu-ray is officially released - the entire set of recordings will be mixed together and released as a chorus of thousands of loyal fans reciting the oath together. Along with these thousands of adoring followers, A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin has recorded himself saying the epic words. The official YouTube channel for Game of Thrones has provided us a video for our...

I just have a couple of news items that have yet to make it to the site. You might find them of interest; so let’s throw them into mix shall we. They, of course, are gleaned from various sources and condensed down and delivered to HBOWatch. We know how much you like to read everything and anything going on with our favorite premium cable network. Did you hear this news yet?   HBO’s GIRLS becomes Reality. The ABC Network is out to cash in on Lena Dunham’s GIRLS by turning it into a reality series. You read that right but, it was actually Miss Dunham who pitched the idea. It seems...

Speaking at Dive into Media conference today HBO president Eric Kessler announced that, as of today, HBO Go for the iPad and iPhone will now support Apple’s AirPlay. For those of us who aren’t as technically inclined as the parents we’re borrowing our HBO Go logins from: Apple’s AirPlay allows video to be streamed wirelessly from your Apple mobile devices to your home television sets (via the $99 Apple TV device). Check for this functionality right now because the president says it should be available imminently! Just last week we reported that HBO Go would make its...

We’d been waiting for official word for some time now but HBO has finally gotten its spring schedule in order (mostly). The Vice Presidency is in good hands again starting in April.

Created by Armando Iannucci (Oscar®nominee for co-writing “In the Loop”), the show stars Emmy®-winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer, who becomes vice president, only to discover the job is nothing like she...

Two words: GAME CHANGER. That’s what I use to describe HBO’s Game of Thrones. By bringing big budget Hollywood-style production onto the small screen, this show has broken the mold of cult-like followings typically behind most fantasy stories and introduced the series to a mass audience.  Most importantly, the content of Game of Thrones is like no other. It’s not common for a fantasy series, or any show for that matter, to be filled with intense drama, bloody violence, and elaborate sex scenes in every episode. But Game of Thrones doesn’t shy away from that at all. The series...

Responding to a comment on his personal blog George R. R Martin, creator of all source material for HBO’s Game of Thrones, said that a prequel to the award winning series my be a possibility. “Voyaging would be fun. Dunk and Egg are being discussed. Robert’s Rebellion is part of Ice & Fire, won’t be a separate series. Sandkings was done by the OUTER LIMITS; I retain feature film rights, but television rights are gone. While nothing can be confirmed and his comments are vague indeed, this latest rumbling only adds to last week’s news that Martin has signed a new 2...

A few weeks ago, The Carrie Diaries, the long-anticipated prequel to Sex and the City, premiered on the CW. The series follows Carrie Bradshaw’s days as a suburban high schooler and the beginnings of her love affair with New York City. And Sex and the City, it is not. The contrast between networks like HBO and the CW should be indication enough – despite sharing a lead character, these shows don’t necessarily correlate. And that’s okay. The two series are meant to connect with separate age groups from separate eras. However, there are some glaring inconsistencies between Carrie’s...
