I've been reading the comments on Nikki Finke's blog, and people who have seen the 12 Miles of Bad Road screeners that HBO sent out to it's employees are raving about it. If the buzz is legitimate, HBO is making a monumental mistake. 12 Miles sounds like the sure fire hit that HBO desperately needs. I'm sensing two possible reasons why HBO may be passing on it: One, they want to "start over" with a new tv head who has his/her own ideas for HBO; Two, as a 35 year-old with Southern roots who grew up in the west, I can give testimony on the discrimination that my mother and I suffered at the hands of non-Southerners because we were "different". I have a feeling that the Southern flavor of 12 Miles may have turned off the more urban HBO executives.

A group of us watched all of the episodes through a friend who worked at HBO and the show is really good! Everyone in the room loved it. I told him that they had a huge hit on their hands. He told me that the new guys who run the channel didn't get it...these guys must be deaf and blind and oh so very dumb! They cancel this but leave Tell Me That You Bore Me on? No wonder the network is going down the tubes.

HBO must be run by the assholes you used to work at Showtime and Fox.

This is why I canceled HBO and still have Showtime (for now). HBO series are in the shiter and Showtime is starting to shine again.

HBO must have a lot of money to flush if this show made it six episodes past the pilot and was so odious that they sh*tcanned it. Reads like some programming exec will be looking for work.

HBO must of really dislike this show to cancel it even though they filmed 6 episodes.

Why did you run a photo of Steven Tyler with this story?
