After seeing so many threads about good shows and whatnot, i've realized that there still hasn't been one made for what is perhaps the best show out right now. IMO this show trumps everything on the air, and i'm someone who never thought he would be into a storyline that involves vampires. Here's HBO's synopsis for the new series:
"Thanks to a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures "coming out of the coffin." Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides, but in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, the jury is still out.
Local waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), however, knows how it feels to be an outcast. "Cursed" with the ability to listen in on people's thoughts, she's also open-minded about the integration of vampires — particularly when it comes to Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill's arrival in Bon Temps, that tolerance will be put to the test.
A sexy, scary new drama from 'Six Feet Under' creator Alan Ball, 'True Blood' delves into the meticulously-crafted world of novelist Charlaine Harris. Described by the Emmy®-winning Ball as "popcorn for smart people" and featuring a colorful cast of local misfits, 'True Blood' promises an intense ride."
HBO's official trailer for True Blood (which really doesn't do it justice):
Here's the first four minutes of the first episode, which i think did a good job of previewing the awesomeness that is this show:
Now I know some people don't get HBO but worry not, because in the age of the internetz that is no longer an issue.
EDIT: I've been told to remove the links which i guess violated rules. But its fine, just google ninjavideo and you'll find a good link with great quality to the show.

Yea I've been watching, the deep south goes pretty well with vampires. The show reinterprets some of the movie vampire lore.
The thing is there seems to be a major crossover of audience b/w this and grey's anatomy, that is to say women and gay men who watch the show exclusively for exposed butts, pissy fights and stuff. I'm probly one of the extremely few straight men who watch for storyline.
what? no way dude where'd you pull that statement from?
this doesn't have any more nudity than any other typical HBO show like the Soprano's or Showtime's Weeds. Who cares though, its the story thats good. Plus its not like its just solely guys asses that are shown, majority are hot girls, which rlly doesnt bother me at all.
Im cooler than the other side of the pillow.

it's based on the stakehouse novels which are for women to begin with, and the creator alan ball is big gay advocate, dude's gay himself. log onto imdb and read the forums, it's mostly gossipy crap about who should get with who
still there's a pretty decent story in there, which comes from social commentary and a fresh take on the movie vampire lore. this is why I watch
Been watching all 9 eps so far, nothing great but hot naked chix and a decent story. Keeps me interested at least and helps me kill time but nothing I can't wait for to see a new ep released of every week.
For remember, that in the end, some are born to live, others born to die. I belong to those last, born to burn, born to cry. For I shall remain alone... forsaken.

"Over night The Conspiracy moves to eliminate a major threat to their plans. Many important officials are kidnapped and tortured, civilians are bombed and they use the spare ice to make delicious snow capped ice cream cones. Alas, someone has to die!"

hm ive seen most of the episodes over the last couple weeks i like it. not one of the greatest ever, worse than the wire sopranos 6 feet under and dexter but somewhere around the next group ;p vampires are pretty cool and they're introducing more and more mythical creatures which gives a lot of options. =]
