Our Favorite Show Will Be Back for More!
HBO has just recently announced that they have decided to renew True Blood for a sixth season. This is great news for fans of the show. Although we can surely expect more of what makes the show great, there will be a few changes. Most notably, the show’s creator Alan Ball will be stepping down. Although he will stay on as an executive producer, Nurse Jackie’s Mark Hudis will be taking over the running of the show. We’ve known for a while that Ball was leaving, but it hasn’t always been apparent who would be taking over. Only time will tell if it was the right choice.
Although True Blood is still Sunday night’s highest rated show, it is still experiencing a steady decline in viewers. How this is happening is beyond me, but make sure you and all your friends continue to tune in on Sunday nights to keep our favorite show alive. Or undead, at least.

My 2 cents never having read the books, but having watched the show on HBO since it’s been out. Each year I grew more disappointed with it. Mostly there were one or two annoying story-lines, and I also hated how the main characters would suddenly do things that seemed “out of character” only to serve the plot. The motivations and traits of characters I’d come to love weren’t consistent.
As far as I’m concerned, the show seems to be redeeming itself this season. I’ve been enjoying it more than the last two (maybe not as much as the first) – smoke monster and all…. I feel like someone made some clear decisions about what works and doesn’t about the show. There are fewer shocking side stories and a clearly thought out main theme. Rather than week to week stories there’s more consistency. And it seems like they’ve decided to just be really campy and not so serious about some of the action making it more entertaining.
