NEW HBO COMEDY SERIES BORED TO DEATH,
CREATED BY JONATHAN AMES , DEBUTS SEPT. 20
--------
Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson And Zach Galifianakis Star
--------
LOS ANGELES, July 30, 2009 – Jonathan Ames, a young Brooklyn writer, is feeling lost. He’s just gone through a painful break-up, thanks in part to his drinking, can’t write his second novel, and carouses too much with his magazine editor. Rather than face reality, Jonathan turns instead to his fantasies – moonlighting as a private detective – because he wants to be a hero and a man of action.
The offbeat comedy series BORED TO DEATH kicks off its eight-episode first season SUNDAY, SEPT. 20 (9:30-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO, followed by other half-hour episodes debuting on subsequent Sundays at the same time. Created by Jonathan Ames (author of several books, including the acclaimed graphic novel “The Alcoholic”), the show follows the misadventures of a fictional Jonathan Ames as he pursues his quixotic dream of emulating his heroes from classic private detective novels.
BORED TO DEATH stars Jason Schwartzman (“The Darjeeling Limited”) as Jonathan Ames; Ted Danson (“Damages,” HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm”) as George Christopher, a high-profile magazine editor and Jonathan’s boss; and Zach Galifianakis (“The Hangover”) as comic book illustrator Ray Hueston, Jonathan’s confidant. Guest stars on the first season include Olivia Thirlby, Heather Burns, Kirsten Wiig, Parker Posey, Bebe Neuwirth, Oliver Platt, Patton Oswalt and John Hodgman.
Mixing noir mystery and neurotic humor, BORED TO DEATH opens with Jonathan’s girlfriend, Suzanne (Olivia Thirlby), moving out of their apartment in Brooklyn , on the grounds that Jonathan devotes too much time to smoking pot and drinking white wine instead of focusing on his writing and their relationship. As Jonathan returns to his empty apartment, a neighbor who witnessed the parting suggests he look for a rebound date on Craigslist.
After sifting through his abundant supply of noir suspense novels, Jonathan idly decides to offer his services as a private detective on the site instead. As responses to Jonathan’s Craigslist post roll in, he begins taking cases – and usually finds himself injecting his own personal problems into his client’s situation.
Jonathan’s needy boss, magazine editor George Christopher, frequently interferes with his newfound career, forcing him to work his cases in increasingly ludicrous ways. Jonathan also meets regularly with his best friend Ray, a struggling graphic artist who does his best to advise him, but can barely keep his own life together.
Jonathan Ames (executive producer, writer) is the author of eight books, including the graphic novel “The Alcoholic” (illustrated by Dean Haspiel), “I Pass Like Night,” “The Extra Man,” “What’s Not to Love?,” “Wake Up, Sir!” and “I Love You More Than You Know.” His new book, “The Double Life Is Twice as Good,” was published this month. Winner of a Guggenheim Fellowship, Ames adapted “The Extra Man” for the screen. To be released in 2010, the film was directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini and stars Kevin Kline, Paul Dano, John C. Reilly and Katie Holmes.
Jason Schwartzman’s numerous feature films include “Rushmore,” “I Heart Huckabees,” “The Darjeeling Limited,” “Bewitched,” “Marie Antoinette,” “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” and the upcoming Judd Apatow comedy “Funny People.” In addition to starring in BORED TO DEATH, he performs the show’s opening theme, which he co-wrote with Jonathan Ames.
Ted Danson has starred in a number of hit TV series, including “Cheers” and “Damages,” and has made frequent appearances on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” including the series’ new season, which kicks off the same night as the debut of BORED TO DEATH. Among his feature films are “Three Men and a Baby,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “Body Heat” and “Made in America .”
Zach Galifianakis’ credits include the films “The Hangover,” “Into the Wild,” “Out Cold” and “G-Force,” as well as such TV series as “The Sarah Silverman Program” and “ Reno 911!” He currently has a web series on the website “Funny or Die” entitled “Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis,” where he conducts “interviews” with celebrities.
BORED TO DEATH was created by Jonathan Ames; executive producers, Jonathan Ames, Sarah Condon, Stephanie Davis, Dave Becky and Troy Miller; co-executive producer, Tracey Baird; producers, Mark Baker and Anna Dokoza; directors, Alan Taylor, Paul Feig, Nicole Holofcener, Michael Lehmann, Adam Bernstein, and Tucker Gates; writers, Jonathan Ames, Donick Carey, Martin Gero and Samantha McIntyre.

chance at a Futurama talkback ever?
-
That was freaky. And then they sang, Don't Worry, Bee Happy! And Billy West was all, "I need you to wake up!" Heart wrenching!
-
Watching Billy West try to survive the horrors of Robot therapy, whislt his "Best" friend John Dimaggio just goes about his business with no compassion at all? Very cool, and it kind of disturbed me. I don't think Spimps ever made me that uncomfortable, nor did the american version of the Office. Futurama is right up there with brit-Office and Venture Bros. At least it was.
-
It the Slurm episode. It was kind of gross, I don't so much go for the gross out thing. This is sort of awesome here in this talkback, all alone, just talkbackin away for none to witness. ECHO! Echo...Echo...echo...cho...cho... I feel cold.

I hope they actually filmed the entire Seinfeld reunion episode!
by barry_woodward
I have a feeling Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld actually wrote the entire "Seinfeld" reunion script. Now I realize within the context of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" it's not absolutely necessary to film the entire thing but it seems like a shame for them to rebuild the sets, get everyone back and only shoot parts of it. I hope they went the extra mile and filmed the entire thing. They could show it on HBO right after the season finale and then release it on DVD/Blu-Ray.

No Game of Thrones announcements? What a crock of shit!

Even if you think he watches too much reality TV...
Even if you think he's an ass for not setting up a talkback for a TV show that you want...
Even if you think he is a 14 year old girl who thinks Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the finest television show ever forged...
Get to know the "Shy Beatle" (aka Paul McCartney) of the AICN group & follow him on Twitter.
PS: Merrick is Pete Best. Mr.Beaks is Ringo. -
Seriously, I would wet myself if that were the case. Oh Lord.
BTW, any indication if they are finally switching to widescreen? Surely it can't be because of cost, Larry could pick up a couple of REDs with pocket change I imagine. -
Two shows that are long past their due dates, suck royally and hog too many undeserved Emmy nominations?
-
that and True Blood being renewed. WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!
-
I gave it 3 episodes, which is 2 of the most boring hours of my life.
-
Those shows exist to p[rove that Hollywood is palatable to normal people in Kansas. You know those non jewish working poor.
Dirt was a much truer representation of the Hollywood elite.
-
Hung has gotten better each episode.
I love the fat kids instead of the pencil thin Hwood conception of children.
The only part I can't understand is not focusing a bit on how fucking depressing and run down Detroit is. -
Awesome
-
The promos make me want to vomit.
-
My turn to say "old news". Curb was announced to return on September 20th a coupla weeks ago.Even worn out, past its welcome CYE is good CYE. I think having the Seinfeld people on is a good way to make this the last season. But I will be sorely disappointed if we don't get some kind of jokes about Michael Richards' "n-word" incident!
-
this is going to be the funniest show ever. i cant wait. seeing all the seinfeld people with the curb style. genius.
-
TRUE BLOOD is just all kinds of crazy awesome and a welcome change from emo vampires that "sparkle" in sunlight instead of spontanteously combusting.
-
Hmm.
-
"Hay Aquaman!""im working with James Cameron on Aquaman" "really James Cameron" "yes James Cameron"
"on the new Aquaman movie" " wow James Cameron, really" "yes really, oh is that with "yes it is" "i met him/her at pool party" "wow ,so hows the movie coming on?" "the aquaman movie being directed by James Cameron?" "yes the Aquaman mov........etc (then have the ACTUAL James Cameron show up playing HIMSELF!!! genius!! -
(a) Whos tits are we going to see in True Blood's upcoming episodes and (b) when the fuck is the Song of Ice and Fire series going to get fully picked up and aired ? Outside of that, I'm happy with just watching Sopranos reruns.
-
...Rosie O’Donnell, Catherine O’Hara & Meg Ryan.
-
Jesus what's a guy gotta do to get blackballed (no pun intended) lynch a guy?
-
Unless you know something I don't, and if you do please tell me, the "seinfeld" reunion means that the stars of Seinfeld will be playing themselves in the CYE world.
You're making it sound like as an episode of CYE Larry tries to write another Seinfeld ep. recreating the old series. If that's the case, let me know, I had no idea. -
Surely he would have moved on by now... Something like 6 new Seinfeld episodes to end it all would be amazing, I think. The season 9 finale didn't really work for me.
-
just to see if any sexy ladies get their kit off (although i'm sure i read the the original idea on aicn months ago was 'poor man enters porn industry' not 'poor man becomes gigolo to fat twats and whiney bitches')
the weird thing is that its a half hour show, which makes you think 'comedy' - but it aint funny! its a drama-esque mess that has lots of 'isnt the economy bad?' moments in it. i shall keep with it thoguh just to see how ridiculous tom jane gets. he really is awful. -
what is up with the son in hung? a disgusting osbourne-esque blob of faggotness. BLEUGH. to think that kid might be hung like his dad... BLEUGH.
-
Epitafios returning is the best HBO news in a long time- you fools haven't a damn clue what you're missing.
-
Doesn't exactly make me want to watch. And "Entourage" was lined up nicely for a mercy killing, but they're bringing it back...I guess people aren't tired enough of it yet. More paychecks for Adrian Grenier.
-
in Curb Your Enthusiasm?

"I started to think of different scenarios and how we could pull this off, and I called Jerry. And Jerry was game. And I said, 'Well, I'll call the others,' and I did. And we did it. So we're doing a 'Seinfeld' reunion show on 'Curb.' We're going to see writing. We'll see aspects of the read-through, parts of rehearsals. You'll see the show being filmed. And you'll see it on TV. You'll get an idea of what happened 11 years later. It will be incorporated into regular Curb episodes." - Larry David
-
funny how you say about Hung- "I gave it 3 episodes, which is 2 of the most boring hours of my life." considering that Hung is a half hour show. Try again.
-
looks like the FAIL is on me actually- just seeing now you said 2 hours - not 3. Oh well. I suck- what can I tell you.
-
It would be a better show if it was 30 minutes of a fat chick getting slapped in the face by a big dong.
-
great, fun show!
-
Better fucking recognize.
-
The hung series premier was a 1 hour episode. plus 2 half hour regular season episodes = 2 hours.
-
Glad to see it back. Very memorable quality show.
-
Has the greatest job, 10 episodes a season that are largely improvised with year long (or longer) breaks in between. C'mon!
-
The fat girls from More To Love should all be penis slapped with a massive prostetic dong. It will amuse me.
-
Until the three friends look like Sylvester Stallone's Entourage.
-
has anyone been watching Weeds this season? (I know it's Showtime) I remember when this show was actually funny.
-
There's only so much whisper talking on cell phones I can take. And bring on Game of Thrones Bitches!!!
-
That Black guy from Grey's anatomy gets canned and obviously Blacklisted for calling one of the cast members a faggot, yet Richards still gets work post his N*gger tirade. (which both slurs are uncalled for.They both should be blacklisted unless they do a PSA about tolerance.This further perpetuate that Hollywood is owned by Gays and Jews.
-
NBC would throw stupid amounts of money at a full-blown SEINFELD reunion, but Larry David would rather work a mock-up of a reunion show into CURB because he doesn't give a fuck. It's fabulous.
-
I was thinking the other day when I saw Eastern Promises was on, how much somebody should do a Russian mafia Sopranos. Instead HBO will give us 18 more shows about Hollywood insiders, penises and therapy ("In Treatment: Like The Sopranos With the Boring Mafia Stuff Removed"). The Sopranos/Deadwood era will be a brief interlude between The Mind of the Married Man and Hung.
-
Interesting but not very engaging characters. You want to like them but they're just too fucking pathetic. Also, when did Anne Heche lose 90% of her sex appeal.
-
A: When she became a man.
-
I want Season 2 now!
-
I'd pay to watch that.
-
That was a great show but is it coming back for season 2???
-
Somebody had to say it.
-
Mgmax, you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. Obviously In Treatment is JUST LIKE The Sopranos since there's a character in each show who's a therapist! Yes! Just like every show with a cop is AUTOMATICALLY like EVERY OTHER COP SHOW EVER. Law & Order == The Wire! Yes! You're so fucking retarded you shouldn't be allowed to speak. Why don't you try watching the Sophie or Jake & Amy episodes from season one, or April from season two, and THEN tell us how In Treatment is JUTST LIEK SORPRANSOS DUR HUR HUR HUR. Fucking idiot. Having said that, I'm really disappointed that there was no news here about In Treatment being renewed. I know that BeTipul (the Israeli series In Treatment is based on) only ran for two seasons, so if they do continue it, they'll be charting new territory. I still really want to see more of the outstanding acting and characterizations on this show though. I hope the characters are a bit more likable like they were in the first season though. Other than April (and I didn't really like her, just didn't dislike her like the others), I hated pretty much all of the patients in the second series (and before you think I'm contradicting myself, there's a difference between liking, or disliking, the characters and thinking that they're very real, well-written characters).
-
The acting is great. It takes some work on the part of the viewer to get on side with the characters because their weaknesses and personal issues are so palpable.
-
True Blood is a great show. Entourage and Hung both suck donkey dicks.
-
Is gonna start looking like Scott Baio is 45 And Has Sushi Poisoning pretty soon. I love me some Carla Gugino, but even she couldn't get me to watch this show. Yay True Blood.
-
And that's exactly what makes it so great! We get such an intimate view of the characters that EVERYTHING from the writing to the way the actor plays the part has to be ABSOLUTELY perfect, otherwise it wouldn't feel real.
-
But you pussies couldn't handle real comedy.
-
Comedy is for plebs.
-
Just sayin'.

...it's not as great as the media claims.

I liked True Blood's first season, but season 2 is lightyears be
by rev. slappy
Season 2 is fantastic.
-
I'll only watch True Blood if nothing else is on. I don't care about anything going on in it. It seems almost juvenile. Like a CW show with blood and tits.
Curb Your Enthusiam still has some goodness in it. But the cleverness is wearing off. Still better than any sitcom on the networks.
Entourage and Hung have the same problem....who cares about the characters? They're lame. Entourage because the characters just aren't interesting. There's no real conflict on the show. As soon as there is, it's resolved within an episode or two.
Hung is boring, since it's characters are just too pathetic. There's nothing appealing about the main character. Nothing.
Bored to Death sounds like a show I was developing years ago. Although, this sounds far more gimmicky. It'll all depend on Schwartzman. However, I don't think he can sustain a show. He'll grow very tiresome after a few episodes.
Too bad we never got more Deadwood or Rome. I could get into those shows. The new obsession seems to center around a taboo subject instead of interesting angle. -
Sorry, I've tried to get into it but it's the most dull thing I've seen in years. Is it ever going to get funny?
That's great news on True Blood, it's been almost perfect this season aside from the very noticeable lack of nudity from any of the main female cast members... -
As I watched Jane go from his miserable life as a coach to his even more miserable life as a prostitute, I finally asked myself why am I making my life more miserable by watching this show?
-
no one died and my two fave shows are returning with their cast intact. And, to top it all, last night's 'Burn Notice' was a cracker.
-
was hardly suspenseful, as it's getting its best ratings now with people still climbing aboard. I like it, even though the writing could be tightened up a lot. I recorded the first episode of Hung but haven't watched, that's probably gonna get deleted. And Entourage...well, it's dead, Jim, but as long as people watch, I guess they'll keep trotting it out there. And I would, too, if I were an HBO executive, so what can I say? I'm sure I'll watch to the end for Piven, the random interesting cameos, and occasional tits.
-
Tom jane is ALL man, and there's nothing quite like an interesting discussion on GIANT WANG. Gets me off good. Most of you sissy dickless tubby balls of jello hate it because it reminds you off how you lost your virginity to the family cat, because all the girls laughed at how small your penis was. So stop hating a show about a REAL man because of your own personal penis insecurities. HUNG is the bomb, yo.
-
Holy mother of fuck that cracks me up.
-
Bored to death might be watchable
-
I as well just thought it was the actors returning. That is fucking marvelous though that we'll actually be getting a Seinfeld sequel/follow up. That that is the plot of the season.
-
It is so good. I read a major factor in getting a season 3 is that the writers need to be paid in full, since they're no longer adapting the original series. I think that is nuts though that they were only being paid scale for seasons one and two, the writing is great. Also, I'm loving Weeds' season 4/5 direction. Yes, it's much more serious, but I'm enjoying it. What I DO think is funny though is the show isn't even about drugs anymore. It seems like the Silas medicinal marijuana store plot is only in there due to the show's name.
-
Where Tom Jane says "I just want my kids back"?
-
Larry is LIVING with a family of black people.
-
It's as if HBO and Showtime were playing poker, and HBO said "I'll see your show about a guy who gets lots of pussy and raise you a show about a guy with a huge dick who gets a lot of pussy"
-
OMG. That needs to happen, now! I also thought that when I saw "Eastern Promises", in which Viggo and Cassell are so badass. True Blood is a fun show, but other than that HBO has been fucking boring. I'm hoping Game of Thrones will fill the gap that Rome left, oh how epic and entertaining Rome was. I'm a huge LOTR fan so I'm excited that Bean is cast in it. But knowing HBO, it will get cancelled due to expense, and we'll have to live with 10 more cheap looking boring ass so-called "character studies".
-
If there is any justice, and Michael Richards is capable of not taking himself so seriously, then the racist rant will be acknowledged. Something tells me Larry David would never pass up this opportunity, but Richards might be too sensitive. All they have to do is have Kramer come over to visit Larry's house, and then have Leon open the door = moment of glorious awkwardness. This has the potential to be the best season of the entire series.
-
How did that tiny red head girl manage to take all of that huge dong in her twat without screaming bloody murder? I can see the fat chick taking a foot long up the cunt and loving it, but that skinny hen must of had her cervix busted out.
-
pretty pretty pretty good
-
Jerry saying "Stop laughing, it isn't funny" on Letterman was funnier then the Seinfeld series finale.
-
Not sure if you've been watching it or not, but Season 2 has gotten stellar. Find room in your heart for more than one show where a brooding vampire dude is in love with a blonde human with special powers.
-
The first season dragged at times but it still entertained. Season 2 is GREAT though, as you've got multiple plot threads that were building in the first 5 episodes that then started to weave together in the 6th. Haven't watched yesterday's episode yet, but I'm looking forward to it!
-
It was VERY good. A lot is definitely going on and it is going to be interesting to see how it turns out. I am really starting to like Sam a lot more after yesterday's episode. True Blood is definitely the best thing on at the moment.
-
I always thought the show was crap until now. It still is, but Godric is an interesting character. He has been alive for 2000 years, this would make a great backdrop for a series. Like Highlander the series only hes been around for longer with better flashbacks.
-
Entourage has run its course. This season has been the worst,by far!
And True Blood seems to have finallly hit its stride. The best episodes of the show have been in the past few weeks. Hung sucks. Jane is entertaining in the part, but the show is just boring and uninteresting. -
But "Hung" just plain sucks. They took a potentially funny concept and just went nowhere with it. Used to love "Entourage" but it has run it's course. Curb sounds like it will be great (loved the last season).
-
It's ok, with Schwartzman doing his usual shtick. I think Showtime was considering it last year (I think I saw it in the winter). I have to believe it got picked up by HBO because of Zack from "The Hangover".
-
Thomas Jane may be long but he only looks to be four foot tall. And why does every episode spend ten minutes on Anne Heche's character? A woman without appeal or eyebrows.
-
Now I kind of miss it.
-
I want to fuck her until my prostate cramps up. That is all.
-
1. Jane Adams never had a peak of cuteness because Jane Adams was never cute. Solid actress though. 2. Thomas Jane is virtually a six footer, not tall but no midget either. And 3. Anne Heche's character is actually one of my favorite parts of the show; I wish she received more screen time rather than less.
-
Agreed ;)
-
w/ 'Hung' because the concept sounded too fucking simple, even for HBO. Entourage has lost its touch, just nvr watched Tru Blood although I heard nothing but great things. Will Michael Richards be strapped as he films his reunion scenes?
-
nuff said.
-
it's the only one I'm enjoying at the moment. Seriously TV has once again become a bore. Now that BSG is done and there are no new dramas that look interesting at all. I can't wait for Game of Thrones to end this dullness. Jason Stackhouse is hilarious, and Eric is a fairly entertaining character. As usual Sookie's the only one that annoys me most of the time.
-
sometimes it is dull and quite depressing. Sometimes it's alright. Not worth sticking with so far though. Also those kids make me want to puke.
-
It's not great, but it is entertaining, and certainly better than Ball's dead-boring, pretentiously profound Six Feet Under. As for the other renewals, Hung is also dead boring and annoyingly obvious (yes, ha ha, the wan nerdy "pimp" and the befuddled suburban loser "stud," truly droll, yuk yuk), and Entourage is long past its prime if it ever had one to begin with. The Schwartzman series looks mildly interesting, although I wish it didn't take place in *Brooklyn," which is such lazy shorthand for "edgy," "quirky" and "hip." Bleh.
-
And True Blood does deserve its own talkback...
-
Great episode. Has Andy Belfleur(sp?) grown on anyone else but me? The guy just seemed like a dick police officer in the first season but now I get a kick out of just about every line he says, whether it's PIIIGGG!!! Or when he confronted the diner patrons, telling the one lady, "stay away from me zombie-woman!" I liked the twist with *spoilers* the boyfriend of the vampire being the betrayer. Also, I'm guessing the murder of the shapeshifter chick somehow gets blamed on Sam! The lock-in should be interesting!
-
More sex. Less Kids. More reaction shots when people see Tom Jane's cock. We're not seeing it so have no idea how HUNG he is. If every one that sees it has a "holy shit" reaction the viewer gets the point. That or just show us, and the boogie nights thing has been done before so don't wait until the last scene of the last episode or the last episode will be coming pretty quickly.
-
How the f-ck did some of you not realize it was going to be a Seinfeld reunion? All 4 cast members coming back, and it's just for the hell of it? What would the storyline possibly be other than a Seinfeld reunion?
-
It's kind of scattershot. I like this season. The flashback on Eric was excellent. Eric could become a more interesting character than Bill Compton, who gets kind of whiny. The stuff at the Fellowship of the Sun was fairly entertaining. Everything happening back at Bon Temps is a mess, kind of like the end of the first season. Just too much going on. Too much weirdness. Too many orgies.
-
There, I said it.
-
i just cant imagine waiting for the dvd of the seinfeld curb season, plus bored to death with zach sounds decent, and eastbound and down is great too. good work hbo!
-
While I do enjoy True Blood and Entourage, and Hung has done enough to keep my mildly interested, to me the real flagship of HBO right now is Big Love, which I know has been renewed for a 4th season.
Also, lets not forget Showtime has been pretty good as well, Californication, Weeds(although this season has kinda been a downer with Nancy just becoming totally unlikeable), and the great Dexter!!! -
I've never read the novels so I am not sure if her character on the show is good comparison to the novel, but I really can't stand Sookie anymore.
When the series began she was portrayed as this naive, but open-minded southern chick, but as the series has worn on she has really become a self-righteous bitch. -
In real life that is... Yay.
-
Nicely played Mr Moyer!
