Online streaming definitely seems to be the future of TV. Netflix gets bigger everyday and more broadcast and cable networks seem to be migrating their content online. HBO Now is set to launch next month and Showtime will be following suit with their own standalone service soon. We hope they include access to their comedy specials and series with that.

“The Green Room with Paul Provenza”, “Episodes”, “Inside Comedy”, “Knock, Knock It’s Tig Notaro”, “The Big C”, “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show” and comedy specials from Dana Gould, Larry Wilmore, and more are some of things we could potentially have to look forward to with a Showtime streaming service.

Sounds kind of nice, right?

Many a friend, family member, etc. has begged other friends and family members for their HBO GO password over the last couple of years as HBO currently doesn’t not offer HBO GO by itself. In order to watch as much Veep, Girls, Silicon Valley, and, very soon, The Comeback whenever one pleased, one had to have an HBO subscription.

Well, that’s all changing as, sometime in 2015, HBO has just announced that they will indeed have that stand alone service that will go toe-to-toe with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and more.

With a veritable stand alone HBO GO, we’re not sure how anyone is going to get anything done anymore other than the people that make those shows.
