Bored to Death -- anyone seen? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

^^And THAT'S why there should've been a fourth season! Rather than ending on such an... Awkward note.

BtD was a great show and I think the only reason why it got canceled was because they moved it to Mondays and no one watched it. Who wants to watch HBO on a Monday... so lame. They could have put it on anytime on Sunday like now. There is nothing showing on HBO why couldnt they have had it on now. So stupid. Sometimes the things HBO does makes no sense.

Done.

The LEAST they can do is give the show an hour long special of some kind! You know, to really wrap up the show, which Season 3 didn't in my opinion!

Loved the show but the incest was a giant misstep.

Maybe. Gotta admit though, if I was Jonathan...

I mean, it is Isla Fisher!

Signed all the petitions.

I blind bought S1 and S2 of this. No regret in sight!

Great show. Didn't see the "incest" episode(s) yet. But I wouldn't ever say thats a mistake.

Incest is more awkward to see in movies/TV than it is disgusting.

insomniac013 · 02-21-2012, 02:28 PM

I'm not too familiar with the real Johnathan Ames, but isn't his work primarily based on his "Awkward Sexual Encounters"?

Incest seems right up his alley

amoergosum · 03-22-2012, 09:28 PM

Jonathan Ames is hilarious >>>

csdot · 03-22-2012, 09:38 PM

Watch the extra feature 'Inside the Mind of Jonathan Ames' (Season 2).
His comments on the episodes are hilarious.

Amazing! Jonathan Ames: Oscar host 2013?

amoergosum · 03-23-2012, 12:17 PM

So it's apparently not just a scene in 'Bored To Death'.
Jonathan Ames did it in real life...

Sharper than a speeding bullet! It's a knife! It's insane! It's Jonathan Ames getting knives thrown at him at a reading for his new book, The Double Life is Twice as Good. Throwdini wields the blades! Will Jonathan come out of Book Court alive?!

As much as I would appreciate a TV film, I wouldn't hold your breath. Like the article states almost every "Canceled too soon" series on HBO had been either promised or talked about a TV Movie continuation and they never happen. Not even for "Deadwood."

CHEЯNOБLY! · 06-15-2012, 06:31 PM

I enjoyed the first season, but I never finished the second. From what I did see, the first season seemed stronger. It is a shame HBO canceled this and How to Make it in America, which was just starting to develop...now we have Girls instead, great.

hardtosayx · 06-15-2012, 06:47 PM

Girls is a great show

at least BTD got three seasons and wasn't cancelled after one.

Well, I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that one.

hardtosayx · 06-15-2012, 07:27 PM

And that's fine. The ratings dropped for Bored to Death, How to Make it in America and Hung so they cancelled them. Enlightened didn't have great ratings either but it did get nominated for awards. It seems pretty clear that HBO is aiming for award winning (or at least nominated) shows and those three weren't doing it for them.

Girls, even if you don't like it has been doing well and is critically acclaimed. Both Girls and Veep were renewed after two or three episodes.

But here's some potentional good news:
