I haven't read the books the show is based on, but so far I ADORE this show. Anna Paquin is adorable and saucy as Sookie Stackhouse. Stephen Moyer as the southern gentleman/vampire Bill Compton is atomically hot and oh so smouldery. The supporting cast is just as rich and colorful. The dialogue is bang on. I can't say enough about it.
I've heard rumors that it isn't rocking the ratings quite like HBO had hoped. PLEASE tune in and give it a shot. I beg you. It's too fantastic to be cancelled prematurely. And it would break my widdle, pwegnant heart. Oh! Wait a minute! My deliciously handsome husband just came home and informed me that it's already been picked up for a second season. JOY!!!!!!!!!!
...sigh...
#2 Fringe (FOX Tuesdays @ 9PM ET)
I wasn't sure how I'd take to this show. Having been a die hard X Files fan, I was afraid it might be a tired rehash. And having been a die hard Lost fan until last season, I was afraid it would be as aimless and wandering as Lost became (It might have gotten its shit together, but I lost patience).
The first two episodes have been wonderfully entertaining. So far it seems to combine all the best bits of Lost and X Files. Wacky story lines, kooky characters (Dr. Bishop is HYSTERICAL!), and a large, overhanging conspiracy that ties all the individual episodes together (which, unlike Lost episodes, have an actual sense of closure!). Please give this one a chance, too. I'd hate to see it relegated to Friday or Saturday nights before it disappears into the ether. From what I understand, it's been receiving great ratings, so this will hopefully not be an issue.

you know, I haven't been watching any TV. I heard fringe was good- but we cancelled HBO a few months ago in protest that nothing good was ever on. I think we're going to pick up Showtime so we can tune in to season 3 of Dexter.
