"Six Feet Under"'s fifth and final season will debut on June 6 and, unlike just about every other HBO original series in history, it will air original episodes on Mondays (encores from the previous week will air on Sundays). Supposedly the move is due to a desire by HBO to "expand its brand" beyond Sunday- either that, or they're deathly afraid of "Desperate Housewives" re-runs.
SFU was beyond terrible last year, but I'm still looking forward to it, probably because I don't think I've watched more than an hour of HBO since "The Wire" ended.

Monday ... that's weird and will be hard to get used to. Luckily, I often find myself free on Monday nights, so I should still be able to catch it.
I'm stoked. I saw the commercial for the new season over the weekend. I wasn't loving it to start, but it had a good ending. I'm excited. :)
