Unfortunately, as we were rocking the ratings and blowing viewers’ minds, HBO was changing CEOs—from Real Sex-positive Michael Fuchs to Jeffrey L. Bewkes. Their names rhymed, but they had rather different visions for HBO, at least as far as sex programming was concerned. Sheila’s beloved “Pussy Films” notwithstanding, Bewkes and other new HBO executives decided to invest in programs that were *sexy* (though often subtly sex-negative) like Sex in the City, The Sopranos and Oz, instead of programs that focused on sex-positive sex education and real human exploration, like Real Sex and Radio Sex TV1 and 2.
‘Pussy Riot – A Punk Prayer,’ a documentary about the imprisoned Russian punk band, has been picked up by HBO. The cable-TV network will most likely air the movie sometime this year.
