The Most Ridiculous Fall show of the season because of the amount of up-close full frontal and full backtal nudity and so much sex between so many human bores that if they didn;t have sex they'd really all just have to kill themsleves"

Then she followed it up with-"If you get paid to have sex then you are a Hooker not an actor"-lol

OMG, I missed it. I think it aired last night. Damn! Ok, I will have to set a reminder for the next time it airs. I wonder if it is ON DEMAND?

The NY Post? Aren't they always getting things wrong anyhow? Don't they hate shows that people love and vice-versa?

I saw the first show and they actually showed a woman giving her husband a "hand." They showed EVERYTHING! I was shocked!

OMG, I seen that too. Now, I wasn't expecting THAT! I was expecting the usual "take the shirt off the female" approach.

I was blown away.

Really? What are the ratings so far? I shouldn't be shocked, with only you, me and possibly Brieannas being the only people who probably watched it. I think Sonny watched it too.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - HBO's racy new series "Tell Me You Love Me" got off to a limp start Sunday night, while the network's season premiere of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" ranked as the worst in the show's history.

"Tell Me You Love Me," which spiced up its depiction of troubled relationships with explicit sex scenes, averaged 910,000 viewers following its 9 p.m. debut.

That was off significantly from the recent series debut of HBO's now-canceled "John From Cincinnati," which averaged 3.4 million June 10, according to Nielsen Media Research. However, "John" had the series finale of "The Sopranos" (11.9 million) as its lead-in, while "Tell Me" led out of a "Sopranos" repeat that drew only 519,000 viewers.

"Tell Me" also didn't help its lead-out, the sixth-season premiere of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," which averaged 1.2 million viewers at 10 p.m.

That marks the comedy series' poorest showing for a season opener. The Season 5 premiere, which aired September 25, drew 1.6 million viewers. The show's most-watched premiere came in September 2002, with the third season opener drawing 5.5 million viewers.

Other recent drama series debuts on HBO include "Big Love" in March 2006 (4.6 million), "Rome" in August 2005 (4.6 million) and "Deadwood" in March 2004 (5.8 million).

At 10:30 p.m., the debut of "Alive Day Memories: Home From Iraq," featuring James Gandolfini interviewing 10 soldiers who survived near-fatal wounds while serving in Iraq, averaged 901,000 viewers.

Thanx Brian. That is interesting and certainly news to me. For some reason I figured it would be right up there with HBO's other "hot" programming.
