TV Junkie: This Sunday It's All About HBO (Isn't Every Sunday?)
HBO is kicking off the season with a slew of offerings, so for those of you moneybags who pay for premium TV, enjoy:
9:00pm Tell Me You Love Me HBO - This new sex drama, purportedly featuring actual X-rated penetration, is rapidly approaching overhyped status. Despite the hot and heavy action, supposedly it's very depressing but because of the sex I'm sure it will last at least a season. Now if only those poor Geico cavemen would have sex their show might have a chance.
10:00pm Curb Your Enthusiasm HBO - Season six launches. I lurve me some Larry David and despite slipping into some mediocrity over the last couple seasons, this is the only legitimate choice for comedy on Sunday nights, cheers Larry, I've got an open mind, let's see what you got.
10:30pm Alive Day Memories HBO - The premiere of HBO's documentary on the new set of American veterans that the war in Iraq is generating. A full special on the series airs after the premiere.
11:30pm Robot Chicken Cartoon Network - Gotta have some chicken before yet another week of mind-bending drudgery begins.
