It took a couple tries, but HBO finally has another monster hit on their hands!

The premium cable network's Sunday night blood-sucking smash, True Blood, had 5.3 million viewers tuning in to this week's episode!!!!

Massive!

The ratings for the vampy drama were up a full 20% from the week prior, which drew an impressive 4.5 million viewers to the network.

Do U think True Blood's viewership continue to grow as the season goes on???

      Perez:
      This show has been a "HIT from Episode 1/Season 1"!!!
      The show was renewed from the second Episode of Season 1 for Season 2!
      Season 2's opening Episode pulled the highest numbers since TheSoprano's
      finale~and there was talk about Season 3 two days later!

      Season 3 was "announced a few weeks ago after ComicCon was held"

      the people who seem to be shocked by this show rise are the people who
      have never really watched an episode!!!

      The "Diehard fans are the ones who know what this show is and will be:
      A MAJOR HBO MEGA HIT!!!

      It's almost over :( . I'll have to occupy myself w/Big Love until next season. It's nice to be able to rotate them.

      Funny how the ratings skyrocketed after Alexander Skarsgard got naked in last week's episode, isn't it? More Skarsgard-nekkidness, please! Since Ryan Kwanten wants "Jason" to be less naked next season, they should just let "Eric" take his place on the nakedness.

      Re: LoveTrueBlood – Lol its better only because there is a whole lot of nakedness in Trueblood than in Twilight… Now if they could add that to Twilight it be a whole different story..Hmmm…..

      OMG I LOVE TRUE BLOOD!! I LOVE ERIC!!! HE IS SO HOT! Also, the Sookie Stackhouse series of books are really good too, for those readers out there!!!



    12. 112

      I love True Blood, but haven't seen the second season yet, but only 2 to go and then I can watch the whole series without commercials and as many as I want, love the Internet….

      Re: LoveTrueBlood

      She won't die because she's immortal. She's a demi-God. They can't kill her. That's why she's such a problem.

      Re: angellatina23

      HELL NO! It's way more than Nakedness! True Blood aka the Sookie Stackhouse is good because the story itself is so awesome! The villains are actually scary. The vampires have FANGS and therefore have some kind horror element. ALL the characters have depth and are interesting!! And the actors are actually talented and bring that to the screen!! THATS why it's better. twilight is just some lame 1 dimensional story with glittering "vampires" who spend their time pouting and looking constipated.

      Re: Alegra

      You can do that now. They post the episodes on the internet right after they show them on tv.



    16. 116

      I believe if they continue to bring out some of the true plots and storylines of the books, it will continue to be a successful show. . .(I LOVE YOU ALEXANDER SKARSGARD!!!)
