John Oliver has an HBO show? Did Bill Maher get canned?

John Oliver has an HBO show? Did Bill Maher get canned?

Not that I'm aware of. He's on HBO Friday nights at 10PM ET.

Don't know, but IMO Oliver was better than Stewart during his temp job. I liked him and obviously HBO did too. Glad the guy caught his break.

"Suits" season 3 started up again last night after the mid-season break. Great show IMO.

I already made a similar thread but yours is much more comprehensive:

The 'spring' season is full of better shows than the fall season. Probably because many of the very good non-network shows are on in the spring where they don't have to compete with the major networks and their huge advertising.

Thanks OP for this list.

Looking forward to Jack Bauer hour.

Dusk till Dawn on the El Rey channel, seriously? WTF is the El Rey channel? I can only guess that a no-name channel with a show will be low budgeted schlock ala ScyFy movie.

April 6 = Veep and GoT. awesome

also, the return of Jack Bauer. The most entertaining hour of stupidity on TV. I can not wait.

Orphan Black was also a pretty good show for the first season. Recommended if anyone hasn't seen it. Tatiana Mislany is one lovely looking lady.

 

[ElFenix]

how about @midday with chris softwick on own?

 

[allisolm]

"Suits" season 3 started up again last night after the mid-season break. Great show IMO.

Added Suits. I TiVO'd it and will watch tonight. What were the studio execs thinking with this one? Aired 10 episodes 7/16/13 - 9/17/2013 and then a 6-month break until 3/6/14, when they add 6 more episodes. Then break again until summer or maybe fall? Why?

Also added Warehouse 13.

Jack Bauer the king of fantasy torture.


Game of Thrones this season could end up being the greatest season of a drama ever.


wtf is the elrey channel

 

[Imp]

No Under the Dome? Or is that "summer"?

Apparently Robert Rodriguez is pretty heavily involved. So it will have originals like the Dusk Till Dawn series, then will also play a lot of old grindhouse films from back in the day. It's intriguing, but I honestly have too much shit to watch as it is.

Harvey Keitel, George Clooney, Juliette Lewis and a surprisingly good performance by Quentin Tarantino are what made Dusk to Dawn so good. Plus Salma Hayaks breasts.

Without them I don't expect much.

 

[Anubis]

GOT is the only show on the list i plan on watching

 

[Ganeedi]

Missed season 2 of VIKINGS on History. Good stuff...

 

[alkemyst]

My TV list Black List and probably when Game of Thrones restarts.

 

[techs]

Spring is the new Fall. Better tv in the spring than the vaunted "networks" give us come September.

 

[Lifted]

Your list is missing The Americans season 2 (FX) and Vikings season 2 (History).

also.
