On Demand: "The Making Of..." Is Not A Movie!

Not exactly pit-worthy, but it annoys me when I go to HBO’s “On Demand” feature and there are the list of current movies, and sometimes it seems like 1/3 of them are little featurettes of the making of films coming soon.
They should just have their own section on behind-the-scenes, or whatever, and slap those little ad/blurbs in there.

Also, is it just me or have the pickings started to become slimmer and slimmer when looking through premium channel On Demand films - both from HBO and Showtime. They used to have a large selection, but now you are lucky to get a couple dozen films, tops.

I actually enjoy “The Making of…” documentaries. I watched all of the Dexter, The Tudors, and Nurse Jackie ones.

However, I do have an issue with them packaging them in 2 to 5 minute increments so that you have to keep selecting them. Would it be so hard to just put them all together with different chapters?

I agree that making of should have it’s own section, however, if you select “all” it should be included.

That said, HBO has a much larger selection available than Showtime on demand.
