History
The series premiered on January 20, 2008. Originally intended to run 9 episodes, Season One ran for 7 after the Writers Guild of America went on strike just as it went into production. It was originally pitched to several cable television stations including HBO, Showtime and FX. Although FX reportedly liked the script, executives ultimately passed because they were concerned about whether or not advertisers would be willing to pay for spots during such a controversial show.
