Kareem: Minority of One

Liev Schreiber narrates the HBO original documentary Kareem: Minority of One, premiering Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 10pm ET/PT, about basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer who played with the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers from 1969-89. This HBO exclusive film marks the first time Abdul-Jabbar has participated in a documentary about his life story. Interviews include Pat Riley, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Jerry West, Bill Walton, Larry Bird, Oscar Robertson and Billy Crystal.

“Kareem waited more than 20 years to tell his story and we’re delighted to present it on the HBO platform,” says producer Deborah Morales, Jabbar’s longtime personal manager and producing partner. “We’re grateful for the contributions so many have made to this revealing film, which will enable people to understand his life beyond basketball, and Kareem is looking forward to finally sharing his journey with the fans.”

Bill Maher, Jane Lynch recreate Weiner exchanges

By Tom Comi Follow @ChannelGuide If there was any doubt that Jane Lynch is currently one of the brightest stars in Hollywood, one needn’t look any further for proof than her recent appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher. While every other comedian was making the same old tired jokes about Congressman Anthony Weiner’s verbal sex exchanges with a Las Vegas blackjack dealer, Maher decided to use his cable platform — and Lynch’s deadpan delivery — to recreate the dirty talk line for line. And fortunately for those of you with HBO, you can see a replay tonight at 8pm […]

“The Wire”: More With Less

January 7, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Drama Comments Off on “The Wire”: More With Less

Posted by SH OK, first off, not a fan of Steve Earle’s version of “Way Down in the Hole.” Normally, Earle does all right, but he’s bland here. Like, Rascal Flatts bland. This is not the musical sendoff this monumental show deserves. Bring back Tom Waits, please. Otherwise, the final season kicks off with a typically enthralling episode that shows a police force in crisis (having to go without OT pay and a bunch of other niceties, like operational cars), a neophyte mayor clumsily trying to wheel and deal his way out of the budgetary mess, a surveillance unit facing […]

Sure, waiting sucks, but what about “True Blood”?

June 10, 2012 Channel Guide Staff Drama, Horror Comments Off on Sure, waiting sucks, but what about “True Blood”?

Season 5 is the time when a lot of shows really start to show their age. The cast gets blonder, tanner and much more fit, virtually unrecognizable from how they looked when the show started. You know, back when they were struggling actors hoping for their big break, instead of pop-culture rock stars who are by now so over it all. Has True Blood reached that point? I wasn’t alone, I’m sure, when I started to see trouble signs with the problematic Season 4. The show seemed to be collapsing under the weight of its own expectations for being outrageous. […]
