HBO Cancels 'Togetherness' After Two Seasons


I really don't understand HBO. They give equally low-rated "Treme" four seasons but cancel "How to Make It in America," "Looking" and now "Togetherness" after two -- and renew "Vinyl" after a dismal premiere and even more horrific follow-up ratings? You'd think they'd learn their lesson with "The Comeback" but apparently not. The thing that really pisses me off is that I actually like the way British and Australian shows don't go on forever like shows here in the U.S. ("The Office," "How I Met Your Mother," "Dexter," et al.) But by American standards, these HBO seasons are REALLY short -- so even shows that should have a shorter shelf life are being robbed by just two cable seasons. (The two main story lines on "Togetherness" definitely needed more time.) Very disappointed in HBO, again. I guess the Duplass brothers don't have the Midas touch after all ...
