Poor Righteous Teachers

Rachel is nowhere near as bad as Julie, but she isn't ugly
HBO gotta bring this back for another season...I think they are buillding this show to replace Entourage in like 2 or 3 years.

this show, even though I cant stop watching (wont lie)
is so painfully obvious!
amusing to see someone didnt catch that

Cudi finally gettin some spotlight (and rocked my grails

) in the finale was a great look for me, since that's the only reason I was interested in the show in the first place. But I was satisfied with the first season. HTMIIA is a lot less funny than entourage and they dont have a stand out actor like Jeremy Piven, but I see a lot of potential in the show. I really like the idea about Cudi becoming a rapper like his real story and that way he could somehow put the world on Crisp. I just hope they do make another season.....

that's awesome.

ben's ex looks very man-like in the face, maybe not fool on man, but masculine for sure

anyway, i think the low ratings make sense and i would not be surprised if it didn't return for a sophomore season. i see people drawing comparisons to entourage, but to me, that is a bad correlation or comparison for the reason that although both portray two different walks of life -- hollywood and new york hipster-dom -- and people generally tend to like to see things they are unfamiliar with, but the hollywood lifestyle is known worldwide and has a stronger attraction than that of the one depicted in how to make it. going to art openings, starting a denim brand, working in retail and the all around hustle is something people on this forum are more into, but it's such a small and minor niche that i think i can envision a ton of people being uninterested in it. i know there is more to the show than sneakers, selvedge denim and other jargon, but i just dont see the other main components as being strong enough to build a solid audience.

So.  I'm Jewish and I eat bacon regularly.  Stuff is delicious.  So I definitely would have rolled with Julie.
Anyway, I liked HTMIIA.  Not super funny, but had interesting characters and a pretty good story.  I hope it comes back for a second season, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't.

I need a second season of this. My Sunday nights are boring lol.

 

[scarface2k1]

yeah, bring this back!

Cannot wait. This is gunna be the beginning of greatness

 

[jeyel]

only eight eps and its gonna take till summer 2011?

 

[T0INE]

 

[bkmac]

EightysBaby, if you can get Episode 8's soundtrack into the OP post, you get an A+ for regulating this thread.

 

[mronegative]

I loved the kinda show it wanted to be and what it tried to get done. Maybe if they woulda replaced CuDi with someone who can act better, and have him do his own thing for some of the episode, less people would be like 'nothing happens.' I'd be down for Season 2.

 

[chr1scross]

fugggg yea season 2
