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
How could any of this be better stated? It cludon’t.
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!!
you sound exactly like someone iKnow lol
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!!
