Dish Customers Set Your Dvrs For All The New Programming On Hbo

DISH customers, your dvrs are going to be working overtime in the next year, because there is a boatload of new seasons and series coming.After Thursday's official announcement that HBO had renewed "True Blood," "Hung" and "Entourage" (which will all return next summer), come a slew of news about HBO's other programming:-First up, "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency": This show tells the story of a female detective (Jill Scott) who opens up an agency in Botswana. The series is filmed on location in Botswana and is the first major film or television production to be undertaken in the country. Originally conceived as a feature film, the pilot was aired on tv instead, and then followed by a six episode season which started on HBO in March 2009.


The show's future is up in the air mainly because the creative driving force behind it -executive producer Anthony Minghella - passed away after the pilot finished filming. No word yet on whether it will be back for a second season.-The sketch comedy show "Little Britain USA" will not be coming back as a series but may come back in the form of specials in the future.-"Eastbound and Down" will start shooting a new season "sometime at the end of next spring, end of next winter."

The comedy series stars Danny McBride as a former professional baseball pitcher who returns home to North Carolina to work as a substitute physical education teacher. HBO hasn't decided on exactly when it will be back next year but assured that it would be back at some point in 2010.-"Big Love", the drama series about a Mormon polygamist (Bill Paxton) and his three wives, will be back for a fourth season in January 2010.-New series "Treme", set in Louisiana's music community post-Katrina, will most likely be premiering in April 2010. The series stars Steve Zahn and Khandi Alexander.-"Flight of the Conchords" will most likely depend on when stars Jemaine Clement and Bret Mckenzie are ready.


Because they are also writing an album, it may be a little longer than usual.-The psychotherapist/patient drama "In Treatment", starring Gabriel Byrne, was adapted from an Israeli series which only had two seasons, so now that they have reached a potential season three, HBO would have to branch out with original material if they want to continue. According to HBO execs, they are "trying to put it together."-The animated comedy series "The Life & Times of Tim" will be back for a second season and is said to be "funnier even than the first." No word on an official premiere date yet.-The next season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" will focus on putting together a fictional "Seinfeld" reunion, with the original cast playing themselves on the show within a show. "Curb" will return. New series "Bored To Death", starring Parker Posey, will premiere the same night.-HBO also confirmed the air dates for two specials - "By the People: The Election of Barack Obama" will air on November 3 and and "Robin Williams: Weapons of Self-Destruction" will air December 6. HBO starts on channel 300 on Dish Network.
