I feel like I need a shower...

It's no secret that I'm a TrueBlood fan. Since Justified is on hiatus and Rescue Me hasn't started yet I have to admit I was looking forward to catching up with the adventures of Sookie Stackhouse and the cuckoos that live in Bon Temps, LA.

Unfortunately at least a couple of times each of the previous two seasons there have been episodes that just leave me feeling dirty and wondering why I watch the perversity that is TrueBlood. Last night was one such episode.

I hate to think that I'm so shallow that I watch just to get a look at vampire Eric Northman played so deliciously by Alexander Skarsgard. Sadly, I'm afraid I'm that superficial. Otherwise there is no reasonable explanation why I kept watching last night's episode all the way through. Of course I also obligingly watched the previews for July 11th which were just Eric-enticing enough to be sure I'll be tuning in again. I'm such a wimp.

I need some raspberry sherbet to cleanse my palate. Thank goodness Rescue Me starts Tuesday.

TRUE BLOOD

I've never read a Charlaine Harris book. I've most certainly heard of Sookie Stackhouse, but nope, never read a book. Now, out of curiosity I watched TRUE BLOOD on HBO last night.

Okay, it's not the greatest show I've ever seen, but I am intrigued. Sufficiently intrigued and interested to probably go read a Sookie book. Sufficiently curious enough to watch another episode.

Go over to the Boob Tube for their thoughts. At least Ames, who did the review, has read Sookie's books.

I don't know how this happened. I don't watch much TV and I don't read Sookie, but I was tuned in. I blame all of YOU out there who've been talking about this series. I'm putty in your hands. It's pitiful.
