Can Showtime fill the void?
HBO's pay-cable rival sees post-'Sopranos' opportunity
By Joanna Weiss, Globe Staff | June 10, 2007
If mob bosses are famously voracious and greedy, so are TV viewers. So once HBO fans finish mourning Tony Soprano -- wherever his journey happens to end tonight -- they'll soon be wondering what to watch next.
Showtime hopes to lure them into changing the channel.
Next Sunday, the rival pay-cable network will unveil "Meadowlands," an eight-part series about a picturesque British town whose residents all are in witness protection. In August, Showtime will premiere the comedy "Californication," starring David Duchovny as a womanizing Hollywood writer, and bring back a third season of "Weeds," about a pot-dealing suburban mom. In the fall, the network will offer the second seasons of "Dexter," about a principled serial killer with a day job in forensics, and "Brotherhood," a Rhode Island-set story of politicians intertwined with the mob.
