HBO's True Blood Set Series Records
My wife April has gotten me into this show. We had the first season on DVD but I did not bother to watch it. But When I found out that Michael Papajohn Was going to be on the show during the second season, I had to watch it. And I have become a Fan of the show.
While the return of pro football gave Fox a nice boost last week, the top ratings stories in the frame were on cable,Another high for HBO's "True Blood." Over at HBO, "True Blood" surged more than 20% week to week to set series records (2.8/8 in 18-49, 5.33 million viewers overall). In the demo, the vampire skein ranked third among all primetime programs for the week.
The premiere telecast was the first HBO series episode to top 5 million viewers since the finale of "The Sopranos" drew 11.9 million in June 2007. And excluding "Sopranos," it's the largest premiere-night audience for an HBO series since 5.4 million tuned in for the fourth episode of "Deadwood" (which aired behind "Sopranos") in April 2004.
"True Blood" is opening up some distance on skedmates "Hung" (1.7/5 in 18-49, 3.28m) and "Entourage" (1.9/5 in 18-49, 3.18m), although they were both up as well.
