Television as a whole still kind of sucks these days. Writers ... point taken. While I know why the broadcast networks' programming has tanked, I can't help but wonder what the heck has happened to HBO? It's creative moxy, marquee programming and mojo are all gone.

Tune in tonight and chances are you'll see some "In Treatment" show that I won't watch and don't even want to know what it's about (sorry, no interest), "John Adams" and a bunch of crappy movies.

HBO probably doesn't care since everyone is trying to be like them by knocking off "Sex in the City" while they count their coins and awards from "The Sopranos," "Six Feet Under," "Band of Brothers," "The Wire," "Deadwood," "Curb" and other landmark programs.

I miss all of these shows, but am even sadder that HBO hasn't replaced them with equal quality or quantity.

Sure, "Entourage" is coming back and I still look forward to new "Real Sports" episodes, but I want more and frankly expect more from HBO.

Come on, HBO. It's time to your groove back.
