Big Love on HBO Go

I have closely followed the battle between Time Warner and HBO over Time Warner's use of the HBO Go app on the Ipad. This is an incredible service. For those of us who enjoy the HBO series as much as anything they might see on television this is great news.

While allowing the on demand broadcast of the movies and programs being shown on any given month the real carrot in this programming is the feature that allows one to watch any of the series and any episode thereof on demand on their Ipad.

We in our house watched The Sopranos and thought it was a great show. My friends and i would dissect each episode each Monday at lunch. We never will hear the name Christopher again without hearing Tony's take on it.

The Wire and Six Feet Under were shows that we missed the first time around. The Wire especially is considered one of the best shows ever on television and I look forward to watching that. First and foremost however we are watching the final season of Big Love. Last night we watched the the final episode of Season 4 to reaquaint ourselves thought reacquainting may be too much for anyone on a show with this much going on. Still we look forward to watching the end of the series.

After that there will be two seasons of Boardwalk Empire to catch up on. The on demand feature is a great feature. This just takes us further down the the road of being able to watch what we want, when we want, where we want.

It is just the beginning.
