Last night was the premiere of Treme, the new show from The Wire's David Simon set in post-Katrina New Orleans. With all the artsy, smarty expectations placed on the project, how'd it fare? Well, pretty darn well.

HBO's Horatio Alger story for FoHos living in paradise came to a close last night. How did it end? Did they make it? No. They learned that absolutely everyone—themselves included—is a criminal.

This week HBO's Horatio Alger story for hipsters fauxhemians told us that no matter how broken up you are, no matter how much of a loser you are, she will still come around to open up old wounds. Bitch.

On last night's episode of Real Time, Bill Maher used the tail end of his "New Rules" segment to speak about health care reform with a brilliantly offensive Tiger Woods-related angle. Inside, video and a full transcript of Maher's remarks.

This is a lesson that the women of the world have known for a long time, but thanks to HBO's Horatio Alger story for hipsters, men might get hip to it, too. Oh, what a cruel world that will be!

Al Pacino finally takes on a role that requires him to try and act for the first time in years, as opposed to him collecting seven-figure paychecks and sleepwalking through his roles. His career won't be euthanized after all.

Two new shows from two old talents, Terrence Winter's Boardwalk Empire and David Simon's Treme, are debuting this year on HBO and we couldn't be more excited. Just look at these two new longer-form trailers.

The first full-length trailer for HBO's Treme, David Simon's second TV show after The Wire, features John Goodman, takes place in post-Katrina New Orleans, focuses on jazz, and looks like a can't miss. We. Cannot. Wait.

Last night HBO rolled out their new mega-miniseries The Pacific, about Americans fighting in the Pacific theater of World War II. We had high hopes. Were we let down?

Have you seen the credit sequence for HBO's miniseries The Pacific? There really is no other way to put it other than 'epic'. Actually, it goes beyond epic. This show takes itself so seriously, the credits border on masturbatory.

Tonight on Real Time, Bill Maher took Mitt Romney to task for being a "pandering shape-shifter." The real laughs came, though, when Maher unveiled a few modified versions of Romney's new book, No Apology. Video inside. Also: New Rules!

This week HBO's jean-making drama didn't mention denim, but there was all this bullshit about boyfriends and ex-boyfriends and birthday parties and Avenue. The moral? If you want any attention from the NYC ladeez, you better have a flat stomach.

Big Love's most surreal season yet went expectedly nuts for its finale. With Bill's election and the polygamists' outing nearing, the family became more fractured than ever before, as serious doubts about their united future shook the once happy Henricksons.

Living in New York City is hard! There are too many people, too much noise, and far, far too many existential crises lurking in front of every Pinkberry. What do you need to make it through the day? A doobie!

Big Love's husband and wives exchanged places as Bill learned to share Margie with another man (a Green card marriage for his bastard child), and Nikki, influenced by questionable hormones, realized her true love for Bill, and her accompanying jealousies.

HBO's Horatio Alger tale for the hipster set is full of advice about how to become the big, rich, fabulous New York City success you always dreamed of. This week, discover why networking with models is awesome!

Moments ago on Real Time with Bill Maher, Seth MacFarlane took the opportunity to respond to Sarah Palin's outrage over the fact that Family Guy made an implied dig at her mentally disabled son, Trig.

Meaning, awesome. This Sunday, tune in to HBO for the second episode of How To Make It In America, a show about two 20-somethings hustling to make it in the downtown NYC scene. Just like you. Check out the trailer!

HBO has released the first episode of The Ricky Gervais Show on YouTube before it officially premieres tonight. HBO also launched HBO Go this week and it'll be interesting to see if the early previews affect the show's numbers.

As the fourth season becomes more overstuffed than a Martha Stewart Thanksgiving turkey, I'm starting to wonder just where all this operatic muck is going to take us.
