Still no sign of The Sopranos, but HBO's other acclaimed series, Six Feet Under, is coming to HBO Asia this October. Here's their press release:
SIX FEET UNDER coming soon to HBO Asia
HBO's new highly-anticipated and much-talked about series, Six Feet Under, will make its exclusive debut on HBO in October. Created and executive-produced by Alan Ball who won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar last year for the smash hit "American Beauty". The series is about the life of a Los Angeles family in the business of death.
Using dramatic irony and dark, situational humor, Six Feet Under approaches the subject of death through the eyes of the Fisher family, who own and operate Fisher & Sons Funeral Home in Lost Angeles.
Six Feet Under is nominated for 23 Emmy Awards this year including "Outstanding Drama Series", "Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series" and "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series".
HBO Asia will be airing a special two-hour premiere of Six Feet Under on October 12 at 10:50pm. New episodes every Tuesday at 10pm.
I'm really curious about this show, since it picked up the most number of Emmy nominations (23) this year. Runner up was The West Wing, with 21 nominations.
-
Woooooooooooooooow!!!!! Something to look forward to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soprano will never be shown here, with all the f-word on the show. ;D
-
Six Feet Under is a fun show. I think I enjoy watching it because I get some kind of satisfaction that there are more screwed up people than me. ;D ;D
Heads up ... David's boyfriend Keith is soooo hot and Federico is so cute LOL.

What ? Oz s-u-c-k-s !!! Aside from the hot Chris Meloni, there's no reason to watch it. I stopped watching when he left and move to another Law & Order spin-off. Not even a frontal nudity of Luke Perry can save it. Of couse, it's a big hit in the gay community with all the man-to-man action in jail scenes. LOL.
There's this new show on HBO created by Larry David, the same guy who partnered with Jerry Seinfeld to make Seinfeld, that's been getting a lot of good buzz. It's called Curb Your Enthusiasm I think .. and this time, it's all about him, not
Jerry. ;D

Finally!!! :D Hope The Sopranos' next in line. 8)

Think this thread should be called HBO Shows ;D. I love HBO!!!
Sungit, I was able to watch the first season of Oz. Well actually some of it. The DVD consist of 3 disc, and we've had it for months but we only saw Disc 1. It's not bad but it isn't good either. It didn't hold my interest the same way Soprano did. But that's just me.
Of the three Oz episodes I watched, the only one I liked was the episode where they talked about god/God. But I cannot remember much about it. :-\ That's how much it held my interest. By the way, the prison cells look "comfy"....it looks a lot neater than our room! Hehehe!
I'm also looking forward to Curb Your Enthusiasm. ;) I highly doubt they'll show Soprano here. Because f they did, Tony's dialogue would be something like this: "What's *beep* going on here? You *beep*, you *beep* hurt my daughter, you will *beep* be sure you go *beep* straight to hell!" or something like that. I almost don't know where to put the beeps. Heheheehe.... ;D
-
you know what i wanna see on HBO asia? Mr. Show
What can I say, sungit? You love Seinfeld and Cheers, you hate Third Rock. Now THIS. You really have great taste in TV shows! I thought I was the only one who watched Mr. Show here! It's BIZARRE... which is what makes it so good!
I don't think it stands a chance in hell of being on HBO Asia, though. The humor is too... "out there" for Asian audiences, IMHO.
Got the first two seasons on DVD, though. :)
-
hey hankey i know good TV when i see it. mr.show's humor reminds me kasi of another comedy group/show that i love -- The Kids in the Hall!!! ;D absurd humor rocks!
btw, larry david's widely credited for seinfeld's best episodes and seasons. after he left, the quailty kind of went down for awhile. i like his humor. very cynical. very noo yawk.
speaking of HBO, the one show that i miss? The Larry Sanders Show. sayang they didn't show it in its entirety.
-

Good news!!! If you have Bravo, you can watch re-runs of The Larry Sanders Show. The best episode was the one with David Duchovny, totally in love with Larry, and was doing the Sharon Stone thing from Basic Instinct wearing a robe while talking to him as he was inviting him to the show. Very, very funny !

I never got to see their show. I saw BRAIN CANDY, though. They come across as a Canadian Monty Python troupe to me...

Very true. I don't think the show ever fully recovered after he left. Still funny, but missing a bit of the edge. But they were doing A LOT better than what he did when he returned for the final episode. Was that crappy or what?
speaking of HBO, the one show that i miss? The Larry Sanders Show. sayang they didn't show it in its entirety.
Yeah. I was always wondering why they only showed the first (or was it first two?) seasons on HBO Asia. Baka tayo lang dalawa yung nanood. ;)
-
Baka tayo lang dalawa yung nanood. ;)
actually, make that the three of us... ;D

confession: i've never seen the final episode of seinfeld. heehee.

six feet under rules big time !!!!!

being a big seinfeld fan myself, let me just say: you didn't miss much... :)

Showing right now on HBO Asia.
In case you missed it, the rerun is at 10:30PM on Monday, then the new episode will be at 10PM on Tuesday.
It's pretty interesting, but I had to hit the VCR, since I got an important phone call 20 minutes into it. I'll watch it after and post my thoughts then.
-
so is it safe to assume it's gonna follow the rerun schedule of sex and the city starting next week?
-

Yes, starting next week, the schedule for Six Feet Under on HBO Asia is:
Original Episode: Tuesdays at 10PM
Rerun: Saturdays after the Saturday Night Original Movie
But you won't be around for the rerun, will you? ;)
Anyone know if this show is due on DVD in the near future? I'm really not looking forward to following yet another series on a weekly basis... I'm watching more than I can handle already as it is!
-
No I won't but this is why they invented VCRs for.
Maybe you should just tape it and watch it in one long marathon like i'm doing for all the other shows i haven't watched. instead of a 24 hour 24 marathon you can have a 6 hour 6 feet under marathon....or not. ;D
There's a six feet under dvd but it's a concert video by some band with songs like Hacked to Pieces (Backstage Version) and Feasting on the Blood of the Insane. ;D
Oh anyone else notice that Gabriel was Jesse from Buffy season 1?
My favorite character so far is Claire. Lauren Ambrose rules!
As usual my sister thinks nate is HOOOOOT! never mind everything else. ::)
-
Maybe you should just tape it and watch it in one long marathon like i'm doing for all the other shows i haven't watched.
Last time I did that was when I set the timer on the VCR to tape Dark Skies during the early morning hours on AXN. As a result, I now have 3 full tapes of a series I haven't watched... and I still don't know when I'll ever get to watch it!
Oh anyone else notice that Gabriel was Jesse from Buffy season 1?
Thank you! That's where he was from... the "where have I seen him before" has been driving me crazy ever since I saw him on the "24" DVD a few weeks ago. Speaking of which, when you start "24", tell me if you can identify where you've seen the photographer on the airplane in the first episode... :)
Just watched the first episode of Six Feet Under. I'm underwhelmed. I'll watch the second one tomorrow, then try again on Tuesday. If after that I'm still just "okay lang" on this show, then maybe it's one I can skip...
...until it turns up on DVD... ::)
-
Saw the premiere last night...
apologies to Mr. Hankey, but GALING!!!!!!. It was one of the funniest series I've seen, specially the advertisement spots... :D :D :D
-
Saw the double premiere last night. It was really funny and weird.
Now I have something to look forward to every week ;).
-
Saw it last night too. For me, it's probably one of the series with the deadest pan comedy I've seen. I like it! Can't wait 'till Tuesday for episode 3 :)
I also recognized the computer dude from 24, and the best friend girl from Can't Hardly Wait, if I remember right. She's cute, yes. :D
And another thing, the opening credits say the actor who plays Nate is just a guest. Does that mean he's only gonna appear in a few episodes?
-
And another thing, the opening credits say the actor who plays Nate is just a guest. Does that mean he's only gonna appear in a few episodes?
No, "Nate" is played by Peter Krause, who has top billing on the show. Guest star Richard Jenkins plays "Nathaniel Fisher", the dad of Nate, David and Claire. Despite the events in the pilot, he's a recurring character on the show, even up to the second season.
Let me just clarify: I don't dislike the show. I was just underwhelmed by the pilot, probably since I had very high expectations due to all the hype. I felt the same way about the pilot of The Sopranos, and now that's one of my favorite shows.
-
Saw the 2 hour premiere too. I liked it too! :) Will be watching it every Tuesday then, cannot wait for the DVD. But......on the DVD there are not cuts, definitely. Last night's episodes sure had a lot of cuts! >:( I think I'd like to live in a house like that....such a "comfortable" funeral parlor heheheheh.
-
i forgot to ask this, anyone else think of American Beauty when they heard the Six Feet Under Theme Music?
-
Oh yeah, I remember Nate is a Jr., named after his father. Thanks for clearing that up, Mr. Hankey :)
-
just watched it last night and it was great... ;D
i also enjoyed the commercial spots such as the wound filler... ;D ;D ;D
can't wait to watch it this tuesday...hope everyone in our household would hit the sack at an early time...so that there would be no distractions whatsoever... ;D ;D ;D
i've got a new crush...NATE!!! :D :D
-
smart and funny. well written series. i love it!
-
i forgot to ask this, anyone else think of American Beauty when they heard the Six Feet Under Theme Music?
Yup! Especially when Nate was jogging and it was a midshot with the trees in the background going by him. I was picturing Kevin Spacey. ;D
I wasn't really blown away by the first two episodes but I liked it and I'll keep watching.
We put the fun back in funeral. Haha!
-
Now i know why they sound the same. THomas Newman who did the theme music also did American Beauty and Road to Perdition.
have to add him to my fave composers list.
-
My favorite character so far is Claire. Lauren Ambrose rules!
You are the only other person I know who thinks that. I heart her.
-
well, i'm probably also the only person you know who actually sat through Psycho Beach Party just to watch Lauren Ambrose. ;D
loved her in Can't hadly wait as well.
Next week's episode looks like a cool one with lots of claire fisher hijinks.
-
well, i'm probably also the only person you know who actually sat through Psycho Beach Party just to watch Lauren Ambrose. ;D
Well, there's bluewillow, but that's because I forced it on him. ;D I actually like her because of Psycho Beach Party. I love that movie.
-

what was her role in can't hardly wait? i dont seem to recall... ;D
-
Just watched the first episode of Six Feet Under. I'm underwhelmed. I'll watch the second one tomorrow, then try again on Tuesday...
Glad I stuck it out. That third episode was simply brilliant!
Excellent cast, as well.
Now I still want to know when it'll be out on DVD, but for a different reason. I want to find out when to start saving up so I can immediately add it to my collection. :)
-
i was laughing out loud while watching the episode. I'm starting to love this show. ;D
Claire is still my favorite character but the rest of the cast is brilliant too. I agree the third episode is much much funnier than the first two.
demented angel: she was the girl who slpet with seth green in the bathroom. she had shorter hair in that movie.
-

thanks acidburn...i remember that scene...they were locked inside the bathroom am i right?! ;D
-
Don't get too comfortable with the fantasy sequences ... a trademark of Ally McBeal in it's peak ... you'll see them less and less .. and then gone.
But yeah, Peter Krause is a head turner. I've had my eyes on him back in Sports Night.
But my favorite characters are Keith and Federico.
The first season was really fun ... the second went downhill. I was actually surprised it got that much nominations at the Emmys.
-
well, i like the fantasy sequences 'cause they're not overdone and they actually function to move the plot a bit unlike ally where they're mostly just played for laughs.
I liked that whole exchange betwwen keith and claire tonight.
Re : the emmy's
You know them, they're always behind. They never really give the awards when it's most deserved. parang oscars. ;D
my favorite line from tonight's ep:
"I wish that just once people wouldn't act like the cliches that they are." - claire fisher
-
i was laughing out loud while watching the episode. I'm starting to love this show. ;D
Me too - LOL that is. My fave line last night was ----> "You help people find their foot?" with matching almost extreme close-up and that look on David's face. Hahahahah! ;D
-
my favorite line from tonight's ep:
"I wish that just once people wouldn't act like the cliches that they are." - claire fisher
Isn't that ironic?
I think aside from being funny and sometimes dark, the reason why people like this show is because the characters are more screwed up than the audience watching it. They get a sense of pride that their lives are at least a little better than these unfortunate souls. ;D
-
So far, Claire is my favorite character also.
I laughed so hard when she said:
"I'm sorry, Officer, I was speeding. I guess you could punish me now."
-

That's gonna get annoying after a time. C ref. Ally McBeal.
Speaking as someone underwhelmed by the show, of course. The cast is really good, but how far can you take whiny dumbasses whining about their relatively privileged lives? I realize it's ridiculous to apply real-world values to TV shows, but as someone in the third world, I think the characters are all cruising for a smackdown. Stop whining, start living, people. Do you know what kind of advantages you hold?
I think Alan Ball just rubs me the wrong way. I was annoyed as hell with American Beauty, as well.

The mother actually is the one that's really pathetic. Keith is the closest to reality you'll ever get in this show. Brenda is just so animated.. especially in the second season.
The usual premise that the dead person in the introduction has something to with the storyline is gonna go away after a couple of episodes. The dead people are just gonna be there for amusement .. or just to stay in the funeral homes setting.
-
Aw, i kinda liked seeing the dead people die ala CSI. ;D
-
Yeah, not enough gore :P
I dunno about you, kakabanas, but I think the writers actually MEANT the series NOT to be so close to reality. If that's the case then what would be interesting about a family whose only special thing is that death is their way of life?
And this one's probably just me, but I can imagine the show having laugh tracks. Except, different people find the funny parts in different places. And that's the amazing thing about the series. Well, so far. :)
3rd episode's mighty entertaining. Hope they get to keep it up! (but i'd be happy if they dump the fantasy sequences-- it's getting old nowadays)
-

Don't get me wrong here man, I don't want it to be close to reality .. but at least make the characters stop being pretentious and over the top. And sure it's a dark comedy masquerading as a drama .. and I wouldn't enjoy a laugh track either ... but come on, stop whining and start living. I mean what kind of stupid mother would give her money to some "mafia" to pay her lover's debt .. and her lover didn't even care? That's just stupid and wrong ... especially since their business is in a little trouble. Jack Bauer is out there killing people giving them a lot of customers ... if it was other funeral homes, they'd just be happy taking in all the dead people and making good money. ;D ;D ;D
-
I got ya, chief. I guess it's just a matter of staying tuned as the series goes on, then we could compare notes.
But for now, I'm enjoying it. On to episode 4 tonight!
Err, that's tonight isn't it?
-
Err, that's tonight isn't it?
Yup, 10PM tonight, Tuesday, with a rerun on Saturday at 11:15PM.
kabag, the thing you posted about the mafia is quite a spoiler for almost everyone else on this thread. We're only up to episode 3 on HBO Asia (4 later tonight). I don't mind too much, it's not a show like "24" where spoilers would completely ruin the experience, but I just thought I'd remind you we're way behind, so a spoiler warning in the future would be appreciated. Thanks!
-
My favorite quote from Episode 5:
Nate: Thanks for buying me breakfast.
Brenda: Thank you for finding my G-Spot this morning.
;D
-
I dunno about you, but I think I'm getting more "attached" to these characters as the episodes roll along. :) One example is Brenda, who turns out to be a genius, and who I found totally unattractive in the first episode.
Also, I take back what I said about fantasy sequences. They're good, as long as they aren't overdone.
Lastly, I'm starting to get annoyed with those cuts and censored words and all. For one, if they can show some intimate moments between man and woman, can't they also between two men? What, think the audience can't handle it?
-
OH hey guess what! i'm bored. ;D Anyway, found a couple of six feet under quizzes.
I found out that i'm either David or Claire Fisher which should probably scare me. ;D

What's odd about the results? When I think about it... it's true! ;D
-
I keep on getting either Ruth Fisher or Billy Chenowith. What the - ?!
Ruth, I sort of like, I think she's funny and very human. But Billy, I totally can't stand the guy!
-
you're Ruth or Billy? I always thought you were more of a Brenda... Brilliant, Promiscuous, Confused, Funny. ;D
-
(http://www.anywhere-is.net/rainbow/claire.gif)
(http://www.imagewiz.net/images/clicks_and_buzzes/imagewiz26678.jpg)
whoa! im CLAIRE FISHER...now i need to steal a foot... :)
-
you're Ruth or Billy? I always thought you were more of a Brenda... Brilliant, Promiscuous, Confused, Funny. ;D
Gee, I guess I should be grateful that that's how you think of me :)
But we-ell, "Nobody ever seems to be who they really are." ;)
And after seeing last night's episode I guess I'm more like Ruth than I thought I was.
-
yes you should. I was just actually thinking of the promiscuous part of the description. mwa ha ha just kidding. ;D
Oh and can anyone please tell me what exactly happened to david and keith? why'd they break up? i missed those episodes and the synopsis (es...is...synopsi... whatever the plural of synopsis is) i found on the net just said they broke up. no details.
-

Okay, I'm grateful. But now I pray to God that my mom never stumbles across PinoyDVD. Why oh why did I use my real name?! :o
It's synopsEs. I'm not completely clear on it but I think Keith broke up with David because he thought David was being a hypocrite for accepting the deacon's position in their church. Am I right?
Sheesh, pinost ko pa dito pwede naman namin ikwento sa yo ni Tina tomorrow.
-
Okay, which of you guys spotted the former Survivor contestant on tonight's episode? ::)
-
really good episode tonight. Ruth being high on ecstacy was just too funny and so was Brenda pretending to be dying (in a morbid kind of way).
Lauren Ambrose is just too cool.
-
Has anybody else caught the Hallmark presentation of Rocket Gibraltar with Burt Lancaster? I just noticed that it also starred Kevin Spacey, Patricia Clarkson, Frances Conroy, all of whom are in Alan Ball's productions.

''Six Feet Under'' sexaholic Brenda may not be the best candidate for marriage (as fiancé Nate found out last season), but the actress who plays her, Rachel Griffiths, found a practical way to tie the knot, combining her wedding with a New Year's Eve party.
After a nine-month engagement, the Aussie actress married artist Andrew Taylor on Dec. 31 in the chapel of Star of the Sea, her old school, in Gardenvale, Australia, her publicist said in a statement. Guests were encouraged to dress according to a ''bohemian glam'' theme, according to the Melbourne Herald Sun. ''We wanted to embrace the sensual,'' the couple said in their statement.
Griffiths wore a deconstructed silk gauze couture gown by Alberta Ferretti with Jimmy Choo flat shoes, while the groom eschewed a tux and wore an open-necked vintage Roberto Cavalli shirt. There were no bridesmaids, according to the statement, because ''the bride believes that women in their 30s should never appear in matching dresses.'' However, there were three flower girls in matching fairy dresses designed by the ''Six Feet Under'' costume department.
It's the first marriage for the 34-year-old Griffiths, who has been friends with Taylor for 17 years. They'll honeymoon for a week in Australia before she has to return to Hollywood to start filming the next season of the HBO funeral-home drama ''Six Feet Under.''

From EW.com
''Six Feet Under'''s Ruth on the new season -- Frances Conroy's character finally gets some much-deserved respect
Frances Conroy is the Rodney Dangerfield of ''Six Feet Under.'' She gets no respect. Not on the show, playing mortuary mom Ruth Fisher, and not off: Of the terrific cast, she's one of the least interviewed. Some of the corpses get more attention.
This doesn't seem to bother Conroy, and it certainly hasn't prevented a more discriminating viewer from singling her out. ''I've been doing plays in New York forever, but no one ever approached me,'' says the modest 49-year-old of her celebrated stage work. (A favorite of Arthur Miller's, she was nominated for a Tony in his ''The Ride Down Mt. Morgan'' and has won an Obie and a Drama Desk award.) ''But after two seasons of 'Six Feet Under,' that's really changed. People in New York are yelling, 'We love the show! We love Ruth!'... They've been hit in the gut about what's happening in this woman's life, and they're really protective of her.'' According to Conroy, ''Six Feet'' creator Alan Ball wrote her character to reflect a woman generally ignored by prime-time TV. ''She's a real person who isn't all glammed up,'' says Conroy. ''I see middle-aged women all over L.A. with long hair, jean skirts, and cotton anklets. I look at them and say, 'That's Ruth's sisterhood.'''
Ruth's sisterhood will expand this season (beginning March 2): Academy Award-winner Kathy Bates (''About Schmidt''), who's directed three episodes, will guest-star as a new friend, offering a ''wonderful friendship that will surprise everybody,'' says Conroy, who can't elaborate under penalty of death. Also slated for this season: Ruth's expanding relationship with Lisa (Lili Taylor), a more mature connection with daughter Claire (Lauren Ambrose), and the usual parade of stiffs. ''I read one of the death scenes at the beginning of an episode,'' teases Conroy, ''and I thought, 'Oh, my God, you can die that way?' And evidently you can.'' Come on, spit it out. We'll take it to the grave.
-
I was telling acidburn that I'm probably "artistically impaired", since I was just watching the DVD special features, and I really didn't know that the opening credits of the show actually told a complete story! I thought it was just random images of death/mortuary stuff.
Did you guys notice that? A happy couple (joined hands) is split up (hands coming apart) by the death of the girl... she's brought to the hospital... she's dead on the gurney... enbalmed... made up... brought to the funeral home... brought in a hearse to the cemetary... and then buried under that tree on a hill where she will forever be... (title): "SIX FEET UNDER".
-
Did you guys notice that?
Duh....hindi. ;D

The new season is boring me. Aside from Kathy Bates and Catherine O'Hara's guest stints, the series looks tired. I still love Freddy Rodriguez though.
-
Just a heads up. Season Two of Six Feet Under begins next week, July 8, Tuesday at 10PM on HBO Asia with two back-to-back episodes. The succeeding week, they resume the single episode per week format at the same time.
Reruns are on Saturdays after the Saturday Night Premiere.
Please note that the HBO Asia website has two separate tags for Six Feet Under this year, one called "Six Feet Under" and the other called "Six Feet Under: Singapore Version". Check it out by shifitng the country tags from Singapore to Philippines when looking at the schedule on the site.
Does this mean we'll finally get the show UNCUT... or just LESS CUT than Singapore?
Time will tell... ::)
-
I've seen episode 2 of Season 2 and it still looks like the profanity was edited... I watched a screener sent by HBO Asia to my friend who was supposed to review the ep for TV Guide Phils (they actually labelled it as the first episode, but it's actually ep 2)... I just hope the final version we see next Tuesday is the unedited one...
-
i highly doubt they'll show the full versions ::)
good thing i've DLed all S2 eps already ;D
-
I stopped watching this show mid-third season. It's dragging ....

Well, it began again last night. Episodes 2x1 and 2x2 were shown consecutively. I'm not sure when they'll be airing the next eps. Will it revert to the Tuesday-Saturday night sked again?
We are sooooooo effing behind for shor :P Thank God I've already seen S3! Anyway, I read somewhere that S4 will start on June 13. Dang, I miss seeing Nate without that woman by his side.

I laughed out loud when Nate got high on ecstacy! ;D
-
It's all about the flow, man.
I loved how Nate groped Brenda before they had dinner pa lang. She probably would have whacked him on the forehead kung walang tao. The funniest part for me was when Nate said that he taught David about w***ing. Pamatay yung facial expressions nilang tatlo :) Lalo na yung kay David.

bump :)
this is a little late but season 3 premiered last night. replay will be on sat, 10:30 pm.

Thanks for the heads-up temmy :)
Btw, I read from somewhere else that the Fisher house (at least its exterior) is known as the Auguste Marquis. It's said that it's owned by the Filipino Federation of America. It was built in 1904 in the Eastlake/Queen Anne style and can be found in the West Adams section of the City. Also, it was declared a Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument (#602) on 9/27/1994.
Sorry if it was mentioned before ::) but it's pretty neat, eh?

Yup, it's neat all right--go to this page (http://www.laokay.com/LosAngelesVictorians.htm), read the 4th entry, and click on the pic, it's Fisher & Diaz, no doubt about it. So if we're ever in the Los Angeles area that means we can visit it! 8)

I watched the Pilot with Alan Ball's commentary on and he mentions that it's a Filipino-owned house ;D (I've had the dvds since last year and now ko lang napanood ng lahat ng features) Anyway, the S3 finale was aired here a couple of weeks ago, am I right? I wonder when they'll be showing S4 (S4ep10 pa lang sila sa US yesterday). I really hope we don't have to wait for another year! I miss my Nate & Brenda :'(
Btw, I was lucky enough to win the SFU-trivia Phil. Star contest. Second copy of the SFU book ko na sha :D

Bumping this up for this CNN bit:
LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- HBO is preparing a eulogy for "Six Feet Under."
The pay cabler confirmed Friday that the upcoming fifth season of "Six Feet" will be the last for the ensemble drama revolving around the trials and tribulations of a family that runs a mortuary.
Series creator/executive producer Alan Ball recently informed HBO executives that he felt the show will have run its creative course by the end of the upcoming 12-episode season. (HBO is a unit of Time Warner, as is CNN.)
"Working on 'Six Feet Under' has been enormously fulfilling creatively, but if the show is about anything, it's about the fact that everything comes to an end," Ball said in a statement. "I will miss working with such enormously talented writers, cast, staff and crew and I'll always be grateful to HBO for allowing and encouraging us to tell the story we set out to tell in a challenging and uncompromising way."
"Six Feet" has been a critical darling for HBO, if not a commercial hit on the scale of "The Sopranos" or "Sex and the City," since its 2001 debut. The drama, whose ensemble cast includes Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, Rachel Griffiths, Lauren Ambrose and Frances Conroy, has been showered with Emmy nominations -- it earned 16 Emmy bids in 2002, its first year of eligibility, and 23 noms in 2003 -- but has yet to claim the top drama series prize in the annual Emmy derby.
"Six Feet" is a project that has been particularly close to the heart of Carolyn Strauss, HBO entertainment president, who originally dreamed up the notion of doing a series set in a mortuary. She pitched the idea to Ball, who was then hot off the success of his Oscar-winning screenplay for "American Beauty," and the writer-producer fell for it immediately.
"Dealing with death seemed like a very common experience that we could all relate to, and (the mortuary setting) seemed like a great lens for a fairly ironic show," Strauss said. "It also seemed like the kind of show that only (HBO) could do."
Strauss was quick to praise Ball and the rest of the "Six Feet" crew for "all the impressive work. It's been a fantastic experience to be associated with this show," she said.
Production on "Six Feet's" fifth season is set to begin November 16, but a premiere date has not yet been set, Strauss said. Word of "Six Feet's" swan song season comes at a time when HBO is already in a transitional phase after bidding farewell to "Sex and the City" this year, while its other original series tentpole, "The Sopranos," isn't due back for its final season until 2006.
HBO has the sophomore season of its wild Western "Deadwood" on tap to premiere in January, followed in March by the return of Depression-era drama "Carnivale."
Other series in the production pipeline at HBO are "Big Love," starring Bill Pullman as a modern-day polygamist in Utah, and the big-budget costume drama "Rome."

My apologies if I posted this on the wrong thread.
I'm curious. Does anyone know if HBO has renewed the series Six Feet Under for a fifth season in 2005?
I just saw the first few episodes on Six Feet Under - Season One on dvd. I really liked it.
Thanks.
-
Yes, the show was renewed for its fifth and final season, which will air later this year.
-
Thanks for the info. Sorry I didn't notice this thread.
By the way, does anyone happen to know if and when Warner Home Video Philippines will release the region 3 dvd set of Six Feet Under - Second Season?
The region 3 dvd costs about a third of the region 1 counterpart.
Anyway, I'm glad I've decided to try watching Six Feet Under. I don't have cable at home and this is the first time I've seen it, on dvd.

There was an article in the November or December 2004 issue of TV Star Guide that announced it would be released by Warner, but they didn't give an exact date. Warner TV series release schedules are pretty f-ed up, though. They announced Without a Trace back in October, I had intended to give these boxed sets as Christmas gifts, but only found them in stores on December 23, so my Christmas shopping was already done.
Lucky for me, though, since for those people who were supposed to get the sets, I ended up buying gifts that cost less than half of what the Without a Trace sets cost. ;D
The region 3 dvd costs about a third of the region 1 counterpart.
Yeah, that's the problem with HBO R1 releases. Too expensive!

Hi.
Has anyone bought the Region 3 dvd set of Six Feet Under Season 2?
I just called Astro. They have it in their stores already, though I haven't been to one to check.
Sayang. I already bought the Region 1 set a few weeks ago.
My 1st season being region 3 and 2nd season region 1, I think I prefer the packaging of region 3. Each disc has its own case. The fold-out case for the five discs of season 2 region 1 is nice, but I have to unfold the whole case to read what episode is in which disc.
Anyway, I think I like the 1st season better. It's more consistent in tone. Season 2, in my humble opinion, is the more emotional and moving, but I somehow feel it's gotten too clever.....too much is going on. Sort of like, from Tolstoy going to.....Bronte.

LOL, you haven't watched Season 3 yet...it gets more complex, but overall I still love this show.

Well, S2 is my favorite coz Brenda's nympho-whoring ways was just totally psycho[/size] 8)
I don't remember much about S3 except for the Lisa storyline. And S4? Only the last ep is somehow retained in my mind coz of ze blood! ze blood! from Jeff Yagher's head H!ITG from V! Snerk-snerk. Oh yeah, Claire's thing with [Mena Suvari[/size]] was pretty cool, too. And Peter Facinelli? Hot, hot!
Still, Nate is *so* my HBO-TV-boyfriend. No matter how f-ed up he gets. :-*
(Sorry, I'm reading recaps at TWOP. Must have rubbed off somewhat)

Last night's episode was probably the worst. episode. ever. (Episode 4.5, "That's My Dog") It was disturbing and downright uncomfortable to watch, and it made me detest David all the more for being such a gullible, helpless wuss--what happened to all that character development in the past 4 years? At least Nate fights back, even though he gets reduced to a bloody pulp in the process...

Review from CNN: The End Of The Line for SFU
Spoilers Aplenty (http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/08/19/tv.sixfeetunder.finale.ap/index.html)
I will miss this show. Sniff.

Hi.
Slightly off-topic. Does anyone know if the region 3 dvd of Season 4 is available in the Philippines?
Thanks.

At last--the final season of Six Feet Under starts this Tuesday, October 10 at 10pm on HBO.
Probably took them long enough to butcher edit the episodes as usual... :P
