There’s vampire fever storming through my house. Tonight, after months of waiting for the DVD to become available, Wonder Boy and I watched disc 1 of season 1 of True Blood. We both love it!
Alan Ball is a genius when it comes to creating compelling television. We were hooked on Six Feet Under and I still miss those characters. (Towel Head… that was a low point. I couldn’t even make it through the whole movie I felt so nauseous watching it.) Wonder Boy goes on and on and on about American Beauty and what a great film it was. So when the opening credits of True Blood started and we saw his name, it was as if he was sitting there on the screen saying to us, “Welcome old friends. I look forward to spending the next several years together, so that I can inhabit your head with my wonderful creations.” And we accepting little groupies, just nodded and said to each other, “When do we get to watch the next disc?”
The only downside to True Blood thus far, and this is not much, is that the first disc was only two episodes. We are left wanting so much more. So bravo to the creators of this show for getting us hooked so quickly and I have my fingers crossed that I can get the next discs more quickly from the library.

I know! The vampire thing is infectious. We love true blood too. Can’t wait for the next season to start.
