Home Box Office [HBO] review: programming 35

The original idea behind pay TV was for you to pay a small premium to get COMMERCIAL-FREE TV.
Now the robber-barons of the entertaiment industry are forcing viewers of even small channels with lousy programming to watch up to 20 minutes an hour of commercials and not just any commercials but loud commercials where the decibel level is at least 10db over the regular programs. Years ago this was outlawed by the FCC for broadcast TV but cable still gets away with it.

As a paying customer of HBO, I don't feel it is necessary to bleep out the "F" word on Artie Lang on Joe Buck Live. Every other show is allowed to be uncensored.

As a customer who has been paying for HBO for many years, I am very disappointed that you bleeped Artie Lang on Joe Buck Live. HBO allows the F word on all of their own programs, such as Deadwood, Entourage, etc. I spend big bucks to have all the pay channels, so I don't have to deal with censorship. Quit trying to protect me, PLEASE!

Tonite I removed HBO from my sevice due to price and the lack of entertaining service. Real Sports, In Treatment, The Glass House, Eastbound, Hooker & Johns (and all the variations), The Abyss, Johnny Dangerously(from 1984). This is the type of programming that I have been recieveing for the last 6 months plus, even though I have been a customer for over 7 years.

As a customer, I knew HBO to be the channel to show the movies first, and the best series. Untill recently, I was payng for that same service. But now I am paying for old or outdated movies (Encino Man) and series. TNT and TBS has better programming. Why is that?

Cable or Satalite service has fallen very short, but of course now that the TV vewing public has to pay to get channels that we use to get by just purchasings a television and plugging it into an outlet has gone out of fashion. Or better yet, now new televisions have to be bought to accommadate the new system, paying upwards of 150.00$ plus for new television, I guess it is just progress.
The most enjoyable part of my travel to work and home was listening to one of my local TV station on radio, now I have to purchase that service Via Serius Radio. Progress has a value, along with many other things we use to enjoys or taken for granted. Not all can afford. I hope that this will change.

I love hbo but I'm wondering if the management changed or if our fellow Indians are running the channel.. Because they are too many advertisements like all the other indian channels which is really "pissing" .. Please look into it! Any change will be appreciated, by all the Indians!

hbo should be ashamed - it's programing is disgusting, showing outdated movies, over and over again and pushing a disgusting liberal agenda on those who are sickened by this. that maggot bill mahr being a perfect example. current movies consist of degenerate low life's who are portrayed as the norm. give us a break.
if things don't change soon, i will have no choice but to cancel my subscription - i don't know who is in charge of programing - but they should be fired.

do something about your disgusting programing or i am gone!

Harry potter and the deadly hollows (part1) is showing the video of the comming part in the movie and the sound of the previous part of the same movie ... please see that you do the as fast as possible... i love harry potter and i want to want it nicely

I decided to go ROKU and stream my commercial T.V thru my High Speed internet ..one of the channels I was provided was HBO Go which I must be a T.V provider subscriber to even get. Why do I have to pay for a T.V provider...I don't want T.V . I cant even watch on my laptop my favorite show Game of Thrones and I would have even paid for the monthly subscription which I do thru Netflix, and Hulu plus. My T.V bill went down over $160 a month by unsubscribing to T.V providers and now I watch what I want ..when I want. This really ticks me off. What does HBO have stock in Comcast and/or other T.V providers...do we gotta have one subscription to get another? I will wait for the box set to hit Netflix...Screw HBO

I am complaining about HBO providing last season of Game of Thrones only through HBO Go and streaming. I am at a computer all day and do not want to watch TV on my computer. Why is not season three on HBO on Demand?

Just saw the final episode of Newsroom. It was very touching and I will miss this program. Sorkin's genius again provided us with a view of reality that many will find troubling and offensive. Many of us would like to believe that we as Americans are above the tawdry manipulations as witnessed in other countries, but as Newsroom showed, this is not always the case. Newsroom aptly illustrated that there is a conflict between providing an unbiased, truthful portrayal of the news verses the revenue that must be generated to provide this service. The cast of Newsroom led by Jeff Daniels was excellent. They were real people with problems and egos and foibles, but for the most part, they were also decent and caring. The First Amendment gives us a free press, but as Newsroom illustrates, being free also carries many burdens that must be weighed against each other. Even if the viewership of Newsroom was low, I feel it should have been continued. The program had substance.

He needs to be fired and his show taken off of the air immediately for his actions. Is this stunt a hbo special? was it backed by hbo? what a disgrace for a human to embarrass mexicans, americans and mexican americans. I will also be calling direct tv and demand that they pull his show from airing. Jwillusmc@hotmail.Com

2 movies-Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada. Both are movies I've seen multiple times before. Both were missing scenes from the original movie.

Have paid for and downloaded the app here in the UK but nothing happens?

Bill Maher needs to be fired immediately for his deragatory comments. This type of speak can not even be classified as comedy because if you are going to make light of a serious issue then people will become desensitized and think it is perfectly acceptable. Don't make it about your bottom line make it about common decency and respect.

Bill Maher using the word "[censored]" on his tv show is UNACCEPTABLE! I can't imagine anyone using that word during a conversation, let alone on tv! There is never a reason to use the word. As such, I think HBO should do the right thing and fire Bill Maher immediately! I will not watch HBO whenever Bill Maher is on tv.

This unfunny comedian has pushed over the edge again this time he needs to be called out on his lack of ability to control the words coming out of his foul mouth

Date: 6/2/2017

Description:
HBO, Bill Maher should be fired for his insensitive, arrogant use of the N-word. I will be sure not to purchase HBO channels until he is gone!

Resolution:
Bill Maher should be fired.

Maher's use of House n_____. Is totally unacceptable. He should be held to the same standard that he has placed on other celebrities. When they have said the same thing he has demanded their immediate termination.

He and HBO need to live up to the standard they have set for others and fire him immediately.

Thank you(NOT) for perpetuating child kidnapping, and child trafficking, via Child Protective Services. Through the showing of this movie.

HBO refuses to refund a monthly subscription on the day that it is charged. I feel that this is a fraudulent practice. A firm should have a statement showing stating that this is the case before they are allowed to charge a customer.

Season 8 of GOT ruined the series I just wanted to voice my opinion I'll be cancelling my service and won't be watching spinoffs or sequels

This has been a compete injustice to the people who dedicated their loyalty to game of thrones. Your terrible writers and cost cutting has ruined the show and created an ending that left me almost crying with anger.

I'm now boycotting HBO.
Thanks for nothing!

As a long standing and dedicated GOT fan the final episodes left me feeling completely cheated. It was as if the GOT team had looked for an easy out and totally lost sight of the followers of the show. You have one chance yet to redeem yourselves, bring Daenerys back in episode 7 (more simple magic) and right all the wrongs of episodes 5 and 6.

True Blood has all complete Seasons & Episodes "except" for Season 1, episode 12. Could someone please fix this oversight.
Thank you

In attempting to view "The Tale" and Jane Fonda in Five Acts" DVDs on my Panasonic Blu-Ray player, both films appeared without respective menus. Consequently, I was unable to access subtitles or individual scenes as one would routinely expect.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with my Blu-Ray player?

I have had enough of this guy's (bill Maher)comments bad mouthing Pres Trump. His hatred is spiteful and more than a little disrespectful. He's wishing for an economic recession so our president loses the election. Screw you B M. Why don't you stick to comedy

HBO Max appears to have abandoned putting the remainder of the vintage WB Looney Tunes / Merry Melodies catalog on the site. They have about 60% of them and said the rest are "coming" in 2019 or 2020. It makes giving up the DVDs impossible and it's been a few years. Is this going to be done?

First of all this was a good show, but why does everything have to be about LGBTQ. I even played the game. Although it has the main character as gay. But why? Why does everything have to revolve around them? I don't force my opinion on anyone else so why do you have to force your opinion on everyone else. This needs to stop.
