All I have to say is thank God for premiums like HBO.
Sure the major networks do have their high points ("Lost", "The Office", etc.), but if it wasn't for HBO and its competitors, TV just wouldn't be as cutting edge.
For an example, look at the upcoming fall preview below, wow, it's going to be a great season!
