HBO would have a riot on its hands if it pulled the plug...
It still hasn't reached the expense that Rome has, so I'm not too worried.

Rome is why I was kinda concerned. I thought Rome was good. (and it made me forever a fan of Kevin McKidd), but after 2 years of no emmys, rising costs, etc, they pulled the plug.Comment

But did Rome double it's audience between Season One and Two? (though I guess it wouldn't matter cause Season two was forced into being the last season during production anyway)Originally posted by Skydiver View PostsigpicComment

Season two won some minor Emmy categories and additional nominations (incl. best supporting actor):Originally posted by Skydiver View Post

Season one garnered a Best Supporting Actor award for Peter Dinklage.
More importantly, GoT is a critical darling and a pop culture phenomenon. It's thoroughly broken into the mainstream and adds prestige to the HBO brand. From what I've read, HBO is 100% behind the series. Yeah, costs matter (and I *do* remember Rome -- sniffle, sniffle) but I'm not worried at all about GoT's fate unless the showrunners stumble and seriously jump the shark during season three.

I seem to remember Rome's production history running...
- was supposed to be a single miniseries
- ratings were so good that HBO ordered a second, 12-episode season
- someone finally did the numbers and realized season 1 had cost over $100m
- HBO cut the season 2 order by two episodes and announced it would be the show's last

Hi all,
I was channel hopping last night. And discovered that Sky Atlantic are repeating season 2 on Saturday nights here in the UK."What do you mean by 'Oopps'?"
Team Starfist protects all. But having a fully loaded P-90 helps...

George RR Martin signs deal with HBO to remain a co-executive producer for at least another two seasons
Bodes well for a fourth and fifth season!"A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After LifeComment
