HBO's cancellation of Bored To Death is a tragedy -- on a network full of awesome shows, it was still one of the awesomest. Created by New York City writer and notorious pervert, Jonathan Ames, it starred Jason Schwartzman as "Jonathan Ames," a New York City writer and... you get the idea. But this Ames has a second career as an unlicensed private detective that brings him into a number of pretty bizarre situations. Interestingly enough, the character of Ray (Ames's cartoonist friend) is also based on a real person, Brooklyn cartoonist Dean Haspiel.
