'True Blood': Where's our new episode tonight?

It's Sunday night, and what better way to end the holiday weekend than to settle in for a new episode of True Blood. Wait -- what? No new episode of True Blood? What the fang is HBO thinking? This is a perfect night to please both regular viewers and capture some new, Fourth of July-relaxed eyeballs with some fresh Blood.


This whole, let's-air-reruns-on-holidays concept is so broacast-network circa, like, 1975. It is not HBO. Yes, I know we could sit through the two Blood reruns HBO is showing back-to-back starting at 9 p.m. ET, but it's not the same.

What's the TV alternative? A rerun of Dexter on Showtime at 9? (Not a terrible idea; I like the episode description: "Dexter feels distracted and unable to kill" -- hey, I remember that one!) Or a new episode of Kendra on E! at 10? No thanks: Kendra's laugh is like a scream made by someone who's just been bitten by a vampire...

Which brings us back to True Blood, for which I'm jonesing, as the kids used to say. How about you ?

Hey at least you guys get the repeats. HBO Canada gave us a repeat of Hung instead. I missed my show so very much.

You know, I was all set last night to see a NEW episode, and what do i get - a rerun! Like i didn't already watch that episode 4 times already... I'm just cheesed off, and feeling cheated.. I don't know what HBO was thinking. Save the rerun for last people!!! Totally cheesed!!!
Bad HBO, Bad HBO...

I just came upon your blog today and I was excited to see a fellow Texan who seems to love the world of Charlaine Harris as much as I do! I can tell I'll be visiting often! Thanks for putting all this stuff together!
