HBO
From Conservapedia
HBO, an abbreviation of Home Box Office, is a non-standard cable television network. As a dedicated provider, not intermixed with broadcast television, HBO faces comparably low restrictions on content, obscenity, profanity, and other decency regulations, and uses its freedom to create television shows with a more film noir feel to them.
Examples of programming include:
- Rome - a show chronicling the rise of Augustus Caesar, from the death of Julius Caesar, to the death of Marc Anthony. The show ran two seasons to critical acclaim. Profanity, nudity, and sexuality are common.
- Big Love - a drama following the lives of a polygamist Mormon family in Utah, struggling to differentiate themselves from a family history that connects them with an abusive polygamist compound. The show, while prima facie glorifying polygamy, instead seeks to prove that it is impossible to practice in a principled manner. Profanity and sexuality are common.
