Hey, we think HBO might be getting back on track! Our colleague at the Culture Czar recommends True Blood, the new show from Alan Ball, but we're actually more psyched about Bored to Death.

HBO has found an actor for anew pilot that we're actually psyched about! Jason Schwartzman will play "a struggling thirtysomething writer with a drinking problem in Brooklyn" in their comedy Bored to Death, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
