Showtime

And, thanks to a gentle kick in the rump from myself to the webmaster types at Showtime, Sho.com finally has the schedule information for September online, at least in the daily schedule. With that information in hand, we can finally start to see what they've go to show us.

Hopefully I'll have time to grab all of the HBO and Showtime info this evening and get a complete listing up for all. Thanks for your patience (and any information you might provide) in the meantime
I'll add this information from HBO/Cinemax for now and format it nicely later:
HBO highlights for September: Chris Rock - Kill the Messenger; True Blood series premiere (noted by Pablo above); Entourage - Live Large (season premiere, Sept 7, 10pm -- note to self, time to add HBO again)
Touted for Cinemax in September: The Bourne Ultimatum; Rendition

Not as of this a.m. (Showtime still hadn't gotten things fixed so that September's schedule was accessiblepablo said:
) (And still the same issue moments ago.)
I swear Showtime isn't making this easy at all. They still don't have their daily schedule guide or downloadable guide for September up yet. I guess they really don't want to let subscribers know what is coming. Bleh. I'll keep checking and will update when I can. I really wish that the higher ups at Viacom would smack Showtime's public relations types for not doing a better job of promoting their product. I have no idea how much they are paying those folks but I swear I'd get about 4 times the amount of info out to the public for about 1/4 the cost if I'm guessing right.
If someone wants to tell Les Moonves to hire me, I might be easily convinced to consider it

Phew, I think this one is pretty much done. Thanks to Pablo for the find on the Cinemax offering.
I was able to find one 'hidden' new film on Showtime's schedule, but it took careful review of their schedule for September. In anycase, finally I think everything I could find is up here. Again, if someone else has any info, please share

Can't wait for Dexter and Californication. Too bad Weeds is ending its season. I already can't wait for the next season
