James Andrew Miller collects insider accounts of the humble beginnings, devastating missteps, controversial business decisions, and, of course, backstage drama and celebrity gossip from the set.</p><p>Since televisions entered Americans living rooms, the question of whether programming should be freepaid for with advertisinghas loomed, to the extent that some broadcasters, lobbyists, and fearmongers warned someone would come along and disrupt their Madison Avenuechampioned business model. But who would pay for something that had always been free? Home Box Office dared to ask that question in 1972, opening the doors for other pay-channels and ultimately the streaming platforms that are now the norm. They created different, better contentor at least they convinced viewers that different <em>was</em> better. HBO gave us violent scenes with blood and guts, shows like <em>Tales from the Crypt</em> that were actually scary, rom-coms with sex instead of suggestion. We take their big-budget, prestige TV for granted now, but their success was far from assured at the outset.</p><p>HBOs audacity built the viewing culture we have today and permanently transformed the television landscape.</p><p><strong>A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company</strong></p>(*_*)9781250807908_<p><em><strong>Tinderbox</strong></em> <strong>tells the exclusive, explosive, uninhibited true story of HBO and how it burst onto the American scene and screen to detonate a revolution and transform our relationship with television forever.</strong></p><p><em>The Sopranos</em>, <em>Game of Thrones</em>, <em>Sex and the City</em>, <em>The Wire</em>, <em>Succession</em>HBO has long been the home of epic shows, as well as the source for brilliant new movies, news-making documentaries, and controversial sports journalism.
