AMC Hell on Wheels, Season II, Episode 1

I would give you a review of the Season II premier of Hell on Wheels, but I have Dish...

I was a fan of Season One of AMC's Hell on Wheels.   Hell on Wheels is not Deadwood, The Sopranos, or Mad Men, but I like it.  Here is the preview for this week's show.   Here is the preview video for next week.  I am going to have to bite the bullet and order these on iTunes.  Damn Dish TV for dropping AMC.  I would drop Dish, but I am on contract so I will be damned to give them the penalty.  But I will not renew for sure.

Apparently Dish got caught destroying evidence in its lawsuit with AMC.  AMC is seeking over two billion dollars from Dish in that case.  It is scheduled to go to trial in September.  Word is Dish will cut a deal and settle because it is facing some difficult odds.  

Just in time for The Walking Dead returning, Dish is becoming dead to me...Don't mess with my Michonne previews!

Dish Network is having a feud with AMC.  So it banished AMC to the hinterlands and is threatening to get rid of it altogether.  As reported by the LA Times:  That feud is getting nastier.  Threatening a Mad Men black out at the season finale?  Is Dish insane?  A real genius move cutting one of the highest rated and popular channels on cable.  Comcast and Direct TV are loving this.

And just in time for the Walking Dead Season 3 preview in July.  Is Dish going to deny me my Michonne preview?  

I may need to sever my ties to Dish...

AMC happens to have shows many viewers care about like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Hell on Wheels, The Killing, etc...  But because AMC is in a lawsuit with a Dish subsidiary (and Dish is losing the lawsuit) Dish is now taking it out on AMC (and of course fans of AMC shows).

Dish Network unfortunately treats its customers worse than it treats its program providers.  Dish customer service is poorly rated.  Customer Service at Dish is abysmal.  And Dish will get you with its fine print adhesion contracts and make you pay even if you cancel.  Dish is terrible.

Gawker:  Dish and AMC get into a slap fight.  Dish may have legitimate business beefs with AMC and other media providers.  It happens.  I would expect both sides to take steps not to punish the viewers for that.

Keep AMC networks

It is the beginning of the end for Dish, and all the cable providers...

Dish Network is terrible. If you are considering a television provider, I would recommend you not get Dish.

Viewers like Mad Men more than Dish...

Dish buries AMC's Mad Men season finale?
