True Blood is becoming EPIC.


The ONLY vampire show to watch hits it big again!
Vampire series True Blood on Sunday night captured HBO's largest audience outside of The Sopranos in more than five years. The Aug. 23 premiere averaged 5.3 million watchers, according to Nielsen Media Research data, up 20% from the previous week's premiere.

Installments of the David Chase mob series aside, that was the top performance for an HBO show since a Deadwood episode on April 11, 2004, which was the lead out from The Sopranos that night. True Blood, which has two more original episodes to premiere during its sophomore season, has delivered a gross audience of 11.6 million watchers when tallied over its various linear plays, DVR and HBO On Demand airings, according to the premium service.

Again, cancel Vampire Diaries. Who's going to watch that dime store knock off?

Great to read how well the show is doing. I recently finished season one on DVD. Can't wait for season two to be released!

Me too Michael! We are both late on True blood but better late than NEVER! lol.

One critique...Stop making Lafayette into Super Queen. I know the shows writers are gay but Lafayette can't beat up everybody.
