6. apparently there are a slew of new shows coming on HBO this coming year

According to the Variety article about their cancellation: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118047762

Among the new comedy series HBO has arriving in the new year are "Girls," created by and starring Lena Dunham; "Veep," with Julia Louis-Dreyfus; "Life's Too Short," with Ricky Gervais; and "Angry Boys," from "Summer Heights High" creator Chris Lilley. Also set to return is the third season of Danny McBride baseball laffer "Eastbound and Down."

On the drama side, Jan. 29 marks the debut of the David Milch-Michael Mann horseracing drama "Luck." The Aaron Sorkin project starring Jeff Daniels, tentatively titled "Newsroom," is looking like a possible summer entry. Also arriving are the return seasons of "Game of Thrones," "Treme" and "Boardwalk Empire."

I'm bummed because I liked all these series as well. I think Hung had slipped a bit from earlier seasons, but I still enjoyed it. I haven't had a chance to check out the second or third season of Bored to Death, but I really enjoyed the first season.
