Writer's Strike Got You Down? (Volume II)

Yesterday I suggested some TV shows to watch on DVD during the writer's strike. While I mentioned The Wire (which should still top your list), I neglected to recommend three other great HBO series:

• The Larry Sanders Show--Great fake late night talk show. Hysterical.
  
• OZ--Gritty content, compelling characters, great performances from all, including Mr. Eko, Carmela Soprano, and J Jonah Jameson.
  
• Rome--Excellent show, plus I love Journeyman's Kevin McKidd
  

By the way, I purposefully omitted some of my other favorite HBO shows (Sex and the City, Entourage, The Sopranos, and Curb Your Enthusiasm). Those shows already have a huge following and don't need a boost from me. Still, if you are one of the few that missed those, they are worth catching up on as well.
