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.

HBO renewed Girls after 3 episodes because critics are on Dunham like white on rice. She's their hip flavor of the month, if you will. The ratings have not been particularly strong even with the huge lead in of Game of Thrones and now True Blood. The re-run of True Blood at 11pm beat out Girls last sunday. It is one of HBO's weaker original programing shows in terms of ratings currently.

...but I don't want to throw the thread off. Lets get back to Bored to Death.
