HBO's president of entertainment, Carolyn Strauss, announced that she will be stepping down today, ending a run at the cable network in which she shepherded notable series like The Sopranos and Six Feet Under to massive critical and ratings success. The network has been stalling a bit of late, with shows like In Treatment and the debacle that was John From Cincinnati failing to attract critics or viewers. Here's hoping HBO will find someone who can recapture the old zeitgeist. Maybe they can poach someone from Showtime. [THR]
