This afternoon word came from HBO that it has decided to cancel “How To Make It in America.” The Lower East Side-centric show averaged about 2.3 million viewers in its second season. The cast, including Bryan Greenberg, Victor Rasuk, Luis Guzman and Lake Bell were frequently seen filming around the neighborhood.
Today Guzman, who was raised on the LES, is tweeting about the cancellation:
OK MY PEEPS….JUST FOUND OUT HBO WILL NOT BE BRINGING HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA BACK FOR A THIRD SEASON…WHAT’S UP WITH THAT!!!!!
The most diverse show on HBO…light up that switchboard and let them know how you feel….
Thanks my PEEPS FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT ….THATS REAL COMMITMENT! !!!!!
By the way that switchboard number is 212-512-1000!

Needs to get out of hbo’s tight grip and be better distributed over the web. That’s where their. BIggest market is waiting.

This is disappointing, since the LES was prominent for all of its good points. Also, the show had an excellent read on what it takes a budding entrepreneur to bring a product to market in all of its sobering reality. I will be calling HBO tomorrow, thanks to the LoDownNY.
