Broadcasting and Cable tells us HBO’s unique vampire show True Blood is gaining momentum. Sunday’s episode drew 2.35 million viewers, a more than 60 percent increase over the series premiere.
Taking DVR and HBO On Demand viewing into account, True Blood is averaging 6.4 million viewers. The show is based on a series of books by Charlaine Harris. In the world set forth in her books, a synthetic blood substitute has allowed vampires to come “out of the coffin” and fight for equality. Of course, not all vampires are happy to be outed.
HBO tapped Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball to bring the books to life. Believe me, this show has to be on pay cable as there are some graphic images. Readers, what do you think? Have you picked up a vampire habit?
Love True Blood. Episode 5 got me hooked. Excellent casting, amazing characters. Can’t wait for Season 2.
Love True Blood! My family watches it every Sunday religiously. I love the characters and the surprises they keep throwing at us. I can’t wait to see how Sam explains what he was doing when Sookie woke up in the last episode!
Ugh, it’s a horrible show.
Brian……glad I made you happy and I’ll tell Rico you were askin’ for him.
Sonny, “just the right amount of vampire smut” may be the comment of the year. And tell Tubbs we said hi.
True Blood’s a great show so far. Well-written, well-acted, erie at times and with just the right amount of vampire smut! I’m hooked.
