I had no idea that's a Vampire drama. I will watch it though. Although I am not really a fan of Vampire thing. |

No, but so many people are pushing me to start watching it. I was actually thinking about watching it this summer to check it out... :) |

Oh, Manny. Manny, Manny, Manny... You know what this means, right? I'm gonna have to get you hooked on True Blood the same way I got you hooked on Big Brother. Season 3 starts next month, so you'll have to start watching it now if you want to get caught up to the new episodes in time. You trust my taste in shows, right? True Blood is great. It's addictive, it's campy, it's hilarious, it's graphic, it's raunchy, it's dramatic, it's gory, it's insane... all the good stuff. Start here (Season 1, Episode 1) and then you can move on to the rest of Seasons 1 and 2. :P Here's the show's premise... The show also deals with demonic possession and religious cults and there's lots of sex. Lots and lots of sex. And violent orgies, LoL. If that's not enough to entice you, there's also a dramatic serial killer murder mystery. You have to watch! |

Hahaha! I knew you'd have everything ready for me to start watching! LOL And yes, you sure did get me hooked on Big Brother! LOL I guess I'll have to start watching this too. :) I actually started reading the book. And what you posted in that synopsis is what I read in the book. I stopped reading after she saved him from those two thugs that attacked him. LOL I gotta admit, even though I read only a little bit, Sookie seemed interesting. :) I'll give it a shot ;) |

I wasn't aware this had supernatural elements until just the other day. The initial preview I saw was vague, so I thought it was just another primetime drama. I'll probably tune in to see what it's all about. I've always enjoyed Rhona Mitra. |

Fuck, another vampire show? LOL. And yeah, I'll give it a shot. I think the lead chick was also a vamp in one of the Underworld movies. Looks shitty, though. |

I don't see it lasting very long, but I'll watch it anyway.

I watched the first half of the pilot online, and it was actually pretty decent. Exceeded my expectations, for the most part. ETA: first half of the pilot is on abc.com Edited by cassie1013, Jun 18 2010, 12:42 AM.

And, yes, it's official. I'm hooked. Quite possibly one of the better pilots I've seen. It's definitely like Dark Shadows meets Desperate Housewives. |

Yet you won't watch True Blood? I haven't seen The Gates yet but I can't imagine ABC letting them get away with half the stuff that HBO lets True Blood get away with. If I'm going to watch a vampire/supernatural show, I want it to be truly outrageous and shocking and campy. Good camp -- the kind of camp that actually tickles my funny bone. Most shows on ABC are just stupid, LoL. Even Desperate Housewives has turned to shit. |

I tried to watch it but I just couldn't get into it. I turned it off about fifteen minutes in. It seemed kind of corny to me and it didn't hold my interest enough to keep me watching a show that probably won't last past the summer, anyway. |

True Blood's on HBO (I think) and I don't have HBO. I refuse to pay for movie channels just to watch a stupid TV show. Besides, I'm not necessarily a "go with the flow" type of guy who watches something (*cough* True Blood & Twilight *cough*) just because the "pack" says it's "cool." |
