It’s Sunday night, and what better way to end the holiday weekend than to settle in for a new episode of True Blood. Wait — what? No new episode of True Blood? What the fang is HBO thinking? This is a perfect night to please both regular viewers and capture some new, Fourth of July-relaxed eyeballs with some fresh Blood.
This whole, let’s-air-reruns-on-holidays concept is so broadcast-network circa, like, 1975. It is not HBO. Yes, I know we could sit through the two Blood reruns HBO is showing back-to-back starting at 9 p.m. ET, but it’s not the same.
What’s the TV alternative? A rerun of Dexter on Showtime at 9? (Not a terrible idea; I like the episode description: “Dexter feels distracted and unable to kill” — hey, I remember that one!) Or a new episode of Kendra on E! at 10? No thanks: Kendra’s laugh is like a scream made by someone who’s just been bitten by a vampire…
Which brings us back to True Blood, for which I’m jonesing, as the kids used to say. How about you?

Come on, Ken. You’ve probably already seen TB2.4.
… I’m with you though. Reruns?!? Really, HBO?!?
I totally agree! Earlier today, I thought “I can’t wait for True Blood” and then remembered there’s no new episode. I felt crushed. It’s pretty much ruined my evening. I hate Sunday evenings anyway, but a Sunday after a long weekend is even worse. New TV is the only thing that helps! Poorly played HBO!
This show is so hot: http://www.actressscene.com/2009/02/anna-paquin-in-true-blood.html
Last week my husband and I looked at each other at the end of the episode and were horrified that this week was “catch up” week. It is too soon to put this “speed bump” in!
GO to youtube and watch
LITTLE MOKEY BOY CLIMBING
adorable video!
I am crushed as well! Now what am I going to do?????
OMG! soooo hella mad right now! i need my True Blood fix!!
AGREED! It irks me that on a day with NO new episodes of anything worth watching, HBO decides to skip a week of True Blood. SERIOUSLY. THere’s no good reason HBO. At least do a worthy marathon including the whole 1st season!!
this is b*llsh*t i waited all week to watch the new episode and its the f*ck*ing show i waited all last week to see nice job of pissing off the fans
not cool HBO not cool
Why God, why?
HBO you offended your weekly fans with no new episode tonight!
So…why am I paying so much for Cable TV? Unacceptable.
HBO is full of it…they have been showing clips for the new episode all week and what do we get…re-run after re-run…now that’s just wonderful!!! Rrrrr!!!
Are they serious….no True Blood tonight? /cry
It’s not TV, it’s HBO. Smells like network TV to me. Repeats. Puh.
HBO skipping a show sucks. I’m having withdrawal symptoms. !?#!
I thought that I was the only one! At least there’s always next week
WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! they have F*cked up my whole day and now were gonna be a WEEK behind
I’m in withdrawl. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
you have got to be kidding me!no new episode1 i thought only network t.v. did this kinda crap! bad form HBO!
This sux we have to wait a whole wk. now a days people have dvr’s and ways to record who in the world wants to see reruns. this is wrong all wrong to make us wait when last wk it told us about the next episode. HBO u F*cked up wit your wkly fans.
I love True Blood too- but everyone here makes it seem like a major injustice has been committed… So did none of you happen to notice that last week BEFORE the next episode preview that they announced that True Blood was taking a “breather”? That actually made me laugh!
So what if we did? It still sucks. What’s your point?
There’s only one legitimate place I’ve found to watch it, the rest seem like scams :-/ You can see it over here though: http://jjpeg.com/watch28015.html
They make you do a little survey but after that it’s good to go
woman on __***sugarmommamatch.com ***__ recently.. maybe you need
to stop the slurring!
I was looking forward to this episode & I can watch reruns on demand or on a video or from dvr. I would love to know why this happened.
Wait a minute, didn’t this season just start! Take a breather? Are they kidding? I don’t know about you, but I am out for Blood too!
WHAT!?! Take a break? Not cool at all!!! My wife and I ahve been waiting for tonight just so we could watch a new episode of TB. I’m totally bummed…
They announced last Sunday that they were going to return with a new episode on July 12th due to this past weekend being 4th of July.
Lol, have you guys not paid any attention?
It sucks that there was not True Blood tonight but look at it this way it only has 12 show this season so it will last one week longer. Always a bright side.
