It seem like there were only 4 shows recorded, they are airing re~runs... I was looking for last 3 weeks, only to find out now... This was good program, at only 30 minutes, it seem as though it would have an entire season...

I voted for the weekly spot - damn good show...but probably too real - even for HBO. I guess they feel that hetero and homosexual fucking is cool but when something that speaks to revolution and changes to the status quo comes along, neither cable nor the networks can hang...:(

Actually, what I thought...

They have that new show, Nerve...

Which is the same as Real Sex...
They would rather poison minds, than educate...

Que...
I was asking, is Def Poetry worthy of having a weekly time spot on HBO...

the sudden absence after all the hype reminded me of another HBO now-you-see-it-now-you-don't show called "Cosmic Slop"...anybody 'member that? It was 3 vignettes that addressed racism, Santeria & domestic violence with Mr. Funkadelic himself doin the intro and narration...so well done... thought-provoking rather than mindless bullshit...glad I taped it!

Yeah, I was liking the show and then when I went to look for more new episodes there weren't any. . .Matter of fact, I'm heading over to HBO.com and shoot them a letter asking what the deal is with this one. . .was it a mid-season something (because this is actually their mid-season--new seasons start late summer) or are they deciding whether to pick it up.

I'll keep ya'll posted on what I hear.

I actually liked Def Poetry. As a matter of fact I taped about 3 of the shows, I thought it was very good. I was wondering what happened to it.
