JackFetch Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Based on the popular ‘Southern Vampire,’ book series by Charlaine Harris, “True Blood” follows the adventures of a small-town cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse (who all her life was an outsider due to her gift/curse of being a telepath) and how her life is turned upside down when a member of the undead (the vampire race ‘came out of the coffin’ several years earlier) walks into her life one fateful night. The show starts in September but you can see the pilot now if you know where to look :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 First off, this show is awesome. Secondly, I don't know how they got Anna Paquin to be in it. You would think an Oscar winner would be above this kind of show, at least this early in her career. She plays a southern waitress that can hear people's thoughts. Vampires are real, but treated like second class citizens. There are jokes comparing them to homosexuals with jokes like them coming out of the coffin. There is tons of sex and nudity so make sure you don't let the kids see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I've heard really good things about the books. I'll have to look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I found out that there are actually 2 different pilots floating around. I'm going to try to get the other one and see what's different. I know they recast the best friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 HBO has renewed Alan Ball's vampire drama "True Blood" after only two episodes. "Blood" debuted Sept. 7 on the premium network to a modest 1.4 million viewers. But the debut has attracted a total of 4 million viewers with repeat airings. Also, HBO noted the second episode grew 24%. "We're in a business where we have to believe in the show -- and the show is fantastic," said Michael Lombardo, president of HBO's programming group and West Coast operations. "It gets better in every episode. The show deserves a second year whatever the ratings." The early pickup also sends a reassuring message to fans, Lombardo noted. "It says, 'It's OK to get hooked on the show, it's coming back.' " Fans also won't have to wait very long. Season 2 will air next summer (yet another reason for the early pickup), part of HBO's plan to return to year-round programming on Sunday nights. "Last couple years our volume of Sunday night series went down, and we're hoping to have a distinctive night of series on for 52 weeks a year next year," Lombardo said. "Our intention is not to have periods where we're not delivering originals." HBO should have no problem filling the night; it has several projects in development including the Ted Danson comedy pilot "Bored to Death," the dark comedy "Hung" and the gambling drama "Boardwalk Empire." http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/conten...dc327f403?imw=Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 A certain Oscar winning actress/mutant/waitress does a nude scene in the new episode. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
