Premium cable certainly has its advantages, like the ability to show nudity and gore, and the blessed lack of commercials. But one big drawback of their deviation from the traditional network model is that they’re not obligated to follow the normal fall-to-spring schedule — which means the waits in between seasons can be really, really long.
Case in point: It’s been about nine months since the last episode of Game of Thrones aired, and we still have about another month to go until the new season takes off. Fortunately, the fact that we’re inching closer to the premiere date means HBO is ramping up their marketing efforts. After the jump, check out a cool new poster and a trailer teaser (i.e., a teaser for the trailer).

Arrested Development Season 4 will be available solely through Netflix when it debuts this May, but that doesn’t mean it’s stuck on the streaming service forever. Fox, not Netflix, owns the rights to the series, and Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos confirmed at AllThingsD’s Dive Into Media conference this week that the comedy could hit DVD or iTunes once Netflix’s license runs out.
Still, serious Arrested addicts should probably just bite the bullet and shell out for a Netflix subscription. While Sarandos wouldn’t reveal just how long Netflix’s exclusive deal was, he confirmed that it was “longer than the typical license.” It’ll probably still be some time, then, before we can watch the Bluths’ exploits without a WiFi connection.

After the jump, HBO Go enables AirPlay and casts an eye toward Apple TV, but still has no plans to split off as a standalone service.

While it was anyone’s guess who’d win the Super Bowl last night, the movie awards ceremonies this weekend were more predictable. Argo continued its steamroll through awards season, picking up a DGA award for Ben Affleck to go with the film’s earlier PGA, SAG, and Globes victories, while PGA winner Wreck-It Ralph took the top prize at the Annies.
Oscar favorites Searching for Sugar Man and Paperman also proved popular on the movie front, as did Jay Roach, Rian Johnson, and Lena Dunham in the small-screen world. Hit the jump to read the winners.
