How many viewers/subscribers does Showtime have? -- 209.161.165.94 06:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I removed the merge tag from this page and redirected showtime channels here; all the content on that page was already present on this page. phoebe 07:08, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I deleted the digital cable only tag from this channel info, as it's available on Dish Network, as per their channel list and my EPG. Ehren 02:27, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
It seems strange that they do this, and yet HBO, CBS, NBC et al are all readily available.
I watch a Showtime US program that isn't available in Australia and wanted to get some more information, but due to my geography, am locked out. Is there a reason? Neolux 14:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
The current logo is incorrect... The arabia logo is said to be the USA logo which is not correct... this needed changed.

Can someone explain to me how chrno crusade is Showtime's "original programming"? Maybe I just don't understand the definition of "Original Programming" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.139.32.227 ( talk) 08:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I was just wondering the same thing. I think it needs to be removed. DeMyztikX ( talk) 03:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Some parts of this article seem confusing or inconsistent. The History section is the most confusing bit. And there is no mention of the rebranding of Showtime 2 except for the gallery. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 04:52, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I suggest that the section original programming be separated from the main Showtime article and split into two articles: one for original series and one for original movies. The section is entirely too large for the article now. BTW, if anyone has any info on which made-for-cable movies are Showtime Original Pictures/Original Pictures for All Ages and know when they aired please submit them. tvtonightokc tvtonightokc 22:03, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Just a minor fix. Saying 'just recently' fixes the article's creation date. I change "An example of this is the 2004 version of The Punisher, which debuted in January 2006 and just recently (November 2006) premiered on basic cable channel FX." to "An example of this is the 2004 version of The Punisher, which debuted in January 2006 and then premiered November 2006 on basic cable channel FX."
well, i wrote that and that's fine. but, then, someone added "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III" in lieu of "THE PUNISHER". so, i just opted to delete that part of the paragraph in favor of just leaving it at the simple fact that their premieres do tend to show up on TNT shortly after premiering on the network. and i also changed the 16-month window between cable premiere and broadcast premiere. the movie "MEAN GIRLS" premiered on showtime and then later on TNT in the same year, (MARCH 2006 on Showtime, NOVEMBER 2006 on TBS and TNT).
and the window in-between THEATRICAL and CABLE PREMIERE is LARGER than that of STARZ and HBO. this weekend (april 14, 2007), HBO is premiering "UNITED 93", while a film like "HOSTEL" (which will be shown exclusively on Showtime) is set to premiere in JULY (nearly 2 years AFTER its theatrical premiere).
Showtime also ran a season of a sitcom titled "Hard Knocks", which is perhaps memorable only for featuring a young Bill Maher, who at the time had a mane of hair that even Dennis Miller would envy.
Maybe adding something about the recent controversy would be appropriate. I don't know which article to put it in, this one or Smithsonian? See [1]

This was a botched handling of the previous RM by Anthony Appleyard. This isn't a new RM. If he didn't like the closure of the last RM he should have just reopened it. Instead, the previous RM is left closed with the decision unfulfilled, and a new section opened. I'm going to close this new RM and reopen the last one.-- Cúchullain t/ c 18:42, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus. In reviewing this, I couldn't help but think of WP:TITLEVAR. While that doesn't apply here, it rhymes with this in a way. If English Wikipedia was entirely a US-based project, I'd move it. But, while I see some respected UK-based admins opposing this, I also see some US-based opposition. And while the "usage" pier of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC supporting a move is strong, the other pier – "long-term significance", i.e. enduring notability and educational value – not so much. In such situations, we lean towards the conservative position of forcing editors to disambiguate links to Showtime. I don't see enough support here to overturn the move of May 2011. wbm1058 ( talk) 15:18, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
– The TV network is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. 94,000+ pageviews for "(TV network)" and 7,100 pageviews for "(TV channel)" vs. 18,000+ for the (film), 12,000+ for Showtime Networks, and 5,000+ for the Dizzee Rascal album (which was far and away the most viewed album; the others had negligible page views). Thorough Google and Google News searches confirm that the TV network is easily the most referenced "Showtime" with respect to usage and long-term significance. -- Wikipedical ( talk) 21:13, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

I don't like the use of softcore pornography as a descriptor in the first paragraph of this article. Some titles are definitely adult content which can be graphic but the use of softcore implies a moral or political values connotation that I don't think is warranted especially since showtime would not classify their own content as such. Without a citation to other work that calls showtime content softcore pornography I don't think we should be moralizing it here. Mendrykowski ( talk) 23:58, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
