TV: HBO Bites Into Second Season of 'True Blood'
Thursday, September 18, 2008

While I've been pretty damn disappointed with the first two episodes of HBO's TRUE BLOOD, it looks like the show is still picking up fans left and right. HBO has sunk its teeth deeper into "the TV series, giving the vampire drama a swift second season pickup after the show's aud grew significantly in its second airing. Alan Ball-produced drama will begin production of new episodes early next year in Los Angeles, with the debut of the second campaign set for next summer. The well-promoted Sept. 7 bow of the series, which stars Anna Paquin, attracted 1.4 million viewers, and Sunday's airing climbed 24% to 1.8 million viewers for the initial cablecast. Only time will tell if the viewers will stick.

Alright, I can dig it. "True Blood" is a decent show (thus far).

I'm on the fence with this one. I want to love it but don't so far. I hope they replace a couple of actors in the show for the second season. I hope it picks up and gets better.

The show is not good. Surprised there are that many people sticking around for it.

If there are so many people sticking around for it, that means it's good and most people enjoy it. Oh, and the critics were uninimously positive.

Probably picked it up since they have nothing else to replace it. I hear the ratings are horrible.

Unbelievable!This show is just AWFUL! Because of good ratings? Only because they counted all the airings of two episodes played 100 times over and over and shoved down your throat! It's truly bad. Good looking "sexy" vampires and people getting into trouble....oooooo, more please. Demand better genre material, don't settle for this garbage!

TB is great, this and Californication are my favorite shows on TV. The edginess and humor keep me watching. I've read a few things about people nitpicking the 2 episodes to death and i just don't see any reason to, nothings perfect and for what TB is, I think it's great.

I think HBO is treating this series and the genre i might add with the same respect that it gives to it's other flagship series. I love the series so far, and you can clearly see that it's going to improve. They're just trying to build up the tension, which as all horror fans know lead to better scares, and i agree with staindFAN Anna Paquin is awesome on the show.

Remember it's always better to have a show to complain about, than to not have one. Our genre has been ignored for so long, it's great to be able to discuss it at all.
