Whether you have satellite TV or just basic cable, it is clear that the best original programming is no longer on the broadcast networks. With a few exceptions, clearly the best shows of the past ten or fifteen years have not been on FOX, NBC or ABC (or CBS or the CW either, for that matter). In this brave new world, who are the winners? A few stations have clearly come out on top.

As Americans we are a country that craves entertainment and stimulation. With the advent and widespread dispersion of high-quality television we’ve become accustomed to this luxury. Even in places as unassuming as offices, a television set can make a difference when it comes to customer care.

One very annoying aspect of watching movies on television is the constant interruption for commercial breaks. Long commercial breaks can leave the user uninterested in watching the movie because of the constant interruptions. Cable and Satellite providers offer programming and devices to circumvent the nuisance of advertising when you are trying to watch a movie. As satellite and cable television have become commonplace in almost every home in the United States, more movie channels have been created to feed the increased demand for commercial free movies.

The premiere of “How to Make it in America” brings the new variation on the comedy/drama to HBO: a show created and crafted carefully for a particular sort of upwardly mobile hipster audience. Whether they’re currently trying to lock down some housing in Williamsburg or simply turn their one-off DJ night into a full-time thing, this is an odd generation of television viewers, even when they’re getting older, moving to Park Slope, and trying to find the local organic grocery with enough space to push a stroller around. The hipster–and its sub-category, the aging hipster–are getting a lot of attention lately, as “How to Make it in America” premiering on HBO asks the question, “what’s going on with making shows just for hipsters?”
