Since I don’t have cable (and have no plans to get cable), I may have to fire up the ol’ BitTorrent downloader for a new HBO show coming out this fall called True Blood. I’ve never heard of it ’till just a few minutes ago, but this blurb caught my eye…

…perhaps a new TV show called “True Blood” might be more to your liking. Starring Anna Paquin, and currently in production, it looks as if one of their characters is going to be outfitted in one of our denim [Utilikilts], according to writer/director Alan Ball (”Six Feet Under”, “American Beauty”, “Grace Under Fire”, etc). The show’s premise is that vampires have finally decided to come out of the proverbial closet, and become members of public society. This causes some consternation for bartender and mind-reader Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), since she can see what the vampires really think…

Anna Paquin, vampires, and Utilikilts in the same show? Sounds to me like it’ll at least be worth checking out an episode or three.

  1. This is based on the “Southern Vampire” books by Charlaine Harris. I don’t know how faithful they can be to the books, but I can at least hope the show is as good as the books.

  2. I find it hilarious that they list “Grace Under Fire” under Alan Ball’s credits. First of all, really? This is something you want to advertise to the world? And secondly, according to IMDB he only wrote TWO EPISODES of the show!

    Having said that? The show sounds awesome!
