I don't get HBO either. The way it's packaged by my satellite company it's too expensive, and I wouldn't watch it enough. Over 38 million people do subscribe (including those who get Cinemax), which is a fairly large minority of TV watchers.

Apparently no one watched Angels in America. Hmm. Well, too bad, it has something to offend everybody. Meryl Streep has three roles, one largish one as a Mormon mother of a gay lawyer, one smallish one as the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg, and an almost cameo as a Rabbi, which is brilliant. Emma Thompson also has three roles, a medium sized role as an angel, a smaller role as a doctor, and a cameo as a hobo. Al Pacino I already mentioned, and he's incredible. Mary Louise Parker is better than I ever imagined she could be. But my favorites are Justin Kirk as a flamboyant gay man with AIDS, and Jeffrey Wright as a gay nurse. Both actors have brilliant careers in their cards. Mike Nichols as director and executive producer. What's not to like?
