I was going to post this under "gerneral sitcom questions" but I figure it wouldnt fit there.

Which movie channel is better? I have had HBO off/on since the late 70s and they pretty much go in cycles. Sometimes its good while sometimes its bad. The Sopranos are good while Sex in the City I cant get into. OZ starts up again I think next weekend, curious how the new season starts as the prison had that gas fire in the last show.

Showtime is ok with Chris Issiak, Soul Food, Leap Years and Queer as Folk. The latter is tough to talk about to the average joe. I was talking to my co-workers about Queer as Folk and all them asked me " are you gay"? thinking its just for gays only.
Wonder if Justin lives after his gay-bashing ( by another gay !!! ).

Cinemax to me has gone downhill. More and more becoming soft core porn. They used to show quite a bit of movies but now it seems when I tune in MAX all I see is bare breasts and people going to bed with each other ( Passion Cove ). The funny thing about this is that if you look close at the so-called nude scenes ( my boss told me this ) they are NOT making love. They actually wear patches to cover the area down below. Soft core to me is porn for heart patients. I like Cinemax better when they showed
the older movies.

The Movie Channel & Starz/Encore always show the same movies
and many of them I have never heard of.

The best movie channels to me are True Stories and Action. HBO's all comedy channel isnt all bad either.
