HBO has given early second-season pickups to new comedy series Veep and Girls after two and three airings, respectively. Both have received 10-episode orders. The Julia Louis-Dreyfus starrer Veep drew 1.4 million viewers in its debut to Girls‘ 872,000, though Veep has a much larger lead-in from Game Of 
Thrones. In gross audience, the two comedies are on par, 3.8 million for Girls and 3.7 million for Veep, which started a week later. Girls, created by and starring Lena Dunham, takes a comic look at the humiliations and triumphs of a group of girls in their early 20s. Veep, created by Armando Iannucci, stars Louis-Dreyfus as the newly minted Vice President.

No ones really talking about Veep…all that money, hype and it’s just kind of there, with everyone hoping a show emerges.
Most pilots suck, so did Girls — However, it has def delivered in subsequent eps.
Just keep writing folks, or directing or whatever it is you do. Posting here… You’re just setting yourself back.
Hmm. That’s funny, Alan, because what annoys me about “Girls,” is that these supposedly realistic girls all have perfect bodies. Except Lena Dunham. I should say “one of the things that annoys me about ‘Girls.’” “Veep” relies WAY too much on swear words. People don’t cuss that much in public situations.
