I would get rid of HBO if it weren’t for “Game of Thrones” and “Boardwalk Empire”.
I am saving countless amounts of money because I dumped TV altogether back in 1997. I expected certain changes, but the one I didn’t see coming was the almost complete removal of my family from consumerism now that we are not inundated by ads for stuff we don’t need.
Judging by the things they advertise in the subway, they seem like a petty, opportunistic bunch of self-infatuated frat-boys. Nobody would ever mistake it for art, that’s for sure.
Don’t have and will never have HBO; just not my kind of entertainment.
“HBO and their hatred of women.”
What did I miss? Where have they shown a hatred of women?
“GET RID OF HBO”
And BHO as well!
I mean, it was just so damn GAY!
I got rid of premium channels years ago.
I’m already there ... DirecTV makes you pay quite a lot extra for HBO as it is, so for HBO I don’t shell out. Got me a mid-tier package.
I canceled HBO.
It would interesting to know how many subscriptions they lost
HBO is twelve channel of nothing but Bill Maher and God awful rot gut crap movies and pervert shows.
Not only would I not pay for it, I would not watch it if they paid me to.
The same can be said for all premium movie channels, except possibly for Starz, which avoids the lame soft core porn garbage, but still plays nothing but crap movies.
The answer is Netflix.
Why watch someone else’s play list when you can watch your own for so very much cheaper?
Pretty much the same for I-Pod and radio. I make my own music play list, and I do not ever listen to commerical music radio.
kill the Tv. I haven’t had outside tv in over 5 years. Miss my football a bit, but overall, it is a better living environment and I have more time on my hands.
There was a push for the politicians to not side with the entertainment lobbyist, but rather families, and allow people to be able to choose the channels they want and pay for only them. I think it's caught up in court. The the left and right don't want the steady flow of money from the media lobbyist to stop. I have seen so many politicians “talk” about the anti-family and anti-christian tv, but don't do anything about it. The media corrupts our children's minds and yet so many conservatives say the economy is most important issue. Not what their children are being taught in school or on TV.... I was lambasted for saying there ARE things more important than money. Our children heart and soul.
I never get to participate in these boycotts, because I’m never a subscriber to the things we are supposed to stop subscribing to.
I only have HBO occasionally, when they make a free 3-month offer. They haven’t done that recently.
Didn’t HBO fund and show first “The Sopranos”???
Talk abt a misogynist show...
though I’m sure some guys didn’t mind it, the way women were treated in that show, whether it was “real life” or not, was disgusting...
I dropped HBO 6 months ago.
We’ve all been conned and hoodwinked.
Remember pay TV, commercial free we were all told about 30 years ago?
You’re now paying to watch endless commercials on television, which have already been paid for.
I’ll bet HBO is on both packages soooo....not sure it matters other then you saved money. congrats.
My vanity:
If “you” spend money on cable and yet cant at least match that as a contribution to a charity or church...then decide which is more edifying and pick one payment each month. If you are going above and beyond then my warmest regards to you.
Yes, you have a point about “hating women”. Rome was a great series but they used the C word so many times, my wife refused to watch it with me.
