As a result of watching all the insanely good original series and movies on HBO, I can't watch any dramas or sitcoms on other stations. The quality of the hbo series' are so good that when I try to get into a show like Lost, or king of queens or something, it just feels like crap. And forget about those c-level shows like stargate or alias.

Every thing looks amatuer by comparison. From the production to the acting. Pretty much the only thing I watch besides hbo is adult swim and a couple shows on comedy central.

While I agree that HBO has great programming, you should watch stuff like The Shield and Rescue Me which, IMO, are on par with anything HBO puts out.

I agree basically 90% of the shows I watch are either on HBO or FX. Also am I the only person who doesn't like Entourage. I saw the 1st season when my roommate watched it on DVD and I just thought it was OK.

2nd season is a huge step up from the 1st, IMO.

I just watched both seasons since yesterday and I think it's pretty good. I would go with LOST over it any day but I will continue watching it.

I love entourage, but I've only seen scattered episodes. Never been able to religously watch the episodes as they come out, like Sopranos and CYE.
