this previous comment makes me laugh.....the only reason we KEEP these stupid channels are the original documentaries and series that they air. If not for these, I probably wouldn't even have cable at all.

I am paying premium money for movies not made for TV shows like True Blood. I am strongly considering cancelling HBO and its sister Cinemax. Saturdays at 7 central were always new run Movies now we wait until nine for Cinemax. They should start another channel for this junk.
