Um, didn't the whole vampire thing get sucked dry a while ago like, say, in the mid 90s (after a run of 50 years)?
Oh, ok, I guess we're dealing with people who were barely born then. Otherwise I just don't see the fascination. It already got horrendously stupid with Buffy and Interview with the Vampire was just as silly (Tom "Maverick" Cruise as a vampire, LOL)
But I guess Hollywood will suck you dry of any innocence or self-pride you may have for the sake of the mighty dollar, which is why we see this once promising actress turn to semi-porn to make a living.
What I don't understand is why this hideous chick won't fix that giant gap between her teeth. Her manly face is enough of a turn-off as it is.
I don't know what the obsession some have with this show, but I tried watching it on several occasions and all I could think of while looking at it was "high school material". Cheese, cheese, and more cheese.
Im sure all you bitter people watch things like 24, CSI: NY, MIAMI, LAS VEGAS and whatever the fuck other cities they cover or better yet Greys Anatomy and ER or The Bachelor. Crappy doctor and detective and reality shows...whoo fucking hoo. Same ole boring mindless shit. This show has everything and I mean everything. And I will admit Dexter is a good show. Now listen to Todd and stake yo'self!
I think it's a great show. Anyone who says otherwise takes it too seriously. Look at the writers and their history. Six Feet Under was also an amazing show. It's much less about vampires than it is society and relationships in general.
I am....enormously turned off by that cover, when by rights I should be sporting a gigantic stiffy instead. It's the blood. Always been an instant erection-killer for me. If they were covered in anything else (chocolate, whipped cream, sperm or all three) it would faptilicious.
That cover shows just how IRrelevant Rolling Stone has becomke: Wyclef and Taylor Swift are not rock n roll U2 and chuck Berry are a combined 437 years old
Plus there hasn't been a good vampire show since Dark Shadows
Plus that chick is so skinny that she would be a vampire's straw Query: in Vampire-town, does Lipton sell used tampons as tea bags? What?? Like you weren't thinking the same thing!
Why did the vampire put a sandwich bag in his mouth? So he could have safe sUx. Get it? Like safe sEx except it has sUx
Still can't believe HBO canceled Deadwood. now we have more vampires and now the vampires are fighting werewolves...again (snore) how many vampire vs werewolves shows and movies are we up to in the past 5 years alone? Underworld, Twilight, True Blood?
How about something new? Like Vampires vs Cyborgs, or Vampires vs a Snooki clone army?
9, yes it is. You can make them all about sex and hardly ever about blood, which is what a lot of the vampire crap now is about. Give me Guillermo del Toro anyday.
I have to say I hate this show, I hate everything about it, I hate everyone who's on it (except that fucking hot Swedish dude); to me this show is porn for frustrated housewives and gays. No offense intended to gays.
@18: a) that's not blood. It's probably corn syrup. b) vampire = blood. that's sort of the whole point. If they were just naked with no blood it would be a lame cover.
I think it's pretty funny that everyone is bitching about how "softcore porn" True Blood is, yet they frequent a site [this one] that boasts mostly tits and ass. Pot calling the kettle black?
Watched the first episode a couple of months ago and I don't understand how anyone can watch that garbage, let alone believe it's the best thing on TV.
Regardless of the show, this RS cover is ridiculous. It's not artsy, it's not edgy, it's not even offensive, even though it's trying to be all three. Gay, gay, gay to the Gay Degree.
this cover is stupid; it's so desperately trying to be sexy that it fails. and that show is lame. some of the acting is so horrible and the storylines have gotten so ridiculous that i just can't get into it. i liked it halfway into the first season, then it started to get tiresome. sure, maybe i am taking it "too seriously" as someone mentioned, but the reality of it is that i can't watch this without feeling like i am wasting my time.
a lot of fantasy shows involving vampires, werewolves, witches, and whatever else always degenerate into complete absurdity as the writers feel the need to create more and more bizarre characters and plotlines to keep the audience interested. it all gets to a point where it's too stupid to watch.
... a naked woman being grabbed by only men is gay? Holy crap, have i been misinterpreting gay all this time! I thought it was about dude's kissing. Turns out, it's a threesome.
The Rolling Stone pic is a perfect depiction of that show. Pure trash. I've been a fan of the books for years. They are definitely chick novels, but I assure all you men that Sookie is much more attractive and had much bigger breasts in the book. Since the show is just an excuse for porn you'd think they could have found a more attractive actress.
well, for everyone saying how lame Rolling Stone has become, i agree, but christ, it has been that way for 20 years.
This is the magazine that put MC Hammer on the cover 20 years ago so they killed their remaining credibility right there...
Their recent idiocy takes the cake. Britney Speares about a dozen times, Chris Martin a "rock god"...Jay Z "King of America"...not to mention Justin Timberlake about 5 times, and of course the Backstreet Boys won their "band" of the year reader poll back around 10 years ago...and NSYNC was called "the biggest band in the world". The Spice Girls were on the cover as well. the Olsen twins, Zac Efron, Jessica Simpson, Adam Lambert were on the cover...
so you can see who reads it now.
and this was the magazine that dismissed virtually all Led Zeppelin's albums in their "reviews"...nice going there. They used to have Jim Morrison on the cover...now they have Taylor Lautner. Enough said.
#3. Are you serious? It's not like she is the second coming of Meryl Streep. She's really not that good of an actress. Shes decent. I do love the show. But I wouldn't mind if she got killed off, though I know that will never happen.
True Blood is fucking awesome. But why does Hollywood have to put more and more flaming fags on screen by the second. No gay monsters please. Stake yourself homos.
Back in the day, I would read RS reviews specifically. To find the bands they trashed, and then buy them! Because RS thinks its cutting edge and its really just as soservative and stale as what RS wqas railing against when it started Like so much of today's culture, they confuse edgy with trashy
I watched this show a year ago and had to got bored. I thought the acting was over the top and the plot was stupid...I mean Vampires in Louisiana?? Whatever...
HOWEVER, I just recently had absolutely nothing to watch after my fave show (Tudors) had its finale, so I started watching TrueBlood again and I have to admit Im enjoying it. It is supposed to be over the top, oversexed, ridiculous and dark/funny. I just enjoy it for what it is. Its not a serious show, just amazingly cheeze and i love it.
Yeah. Also the Black Eyes Peas were so much cooler before they became popular. And I remember when post it notes were really hip. Please ignore the fact that my snobbery is an excuse to cover up my fear of my advancing age and a culture that finds me irrelevant.
Seriously, what is the point of this show? If I want to watch porn, I'll watch real porn. I don't need a kiddie show about vampires to get a glimpse of a naked ass. Big whoopie do.
So all you fans of vampires are also fans of the Twilight movies? This, to me, is Harry Potter with sex scenes. And as someone else pointed out, the most irritating thing about this show is how bad the acting is from everybody involved. It is, honestly, one of the worst on TV. Which takes me back to the original point. I bet a lot of the fans are younger dudes who only watch it for nudity.
Man, download some real porn on the web and save yourself the frustration of watching a horrible show with horrible cast and horrible acting.
I'm not trying to be edgy or clever. I have loved Alan Ball's writing since Six Feet Under. I could not care less about the Twilight movies. There's a commentary here--a lot of it about homosexuality (to be expected...the writer is gay). I don't watch it because it's about vampires, werewolves or whatever else, I just think the writing is clever, entertaining and at times, thought provoking. And, no I'm not a teenage boy.

best thing on television? I watched all three clips. that show looks gay. I thought vampires were for teenage girls. Dexter, now that's a real show.

Her mom must be so proud of that cover.

I really hope this is at least a paid endorsement for True Blood if you're going to call it the "best thing on television".
By anonymous, on August 17, 2010 13:36:11
Fuck off people - True Blood is fantastic.
By anonymous, on August 17, 2010 13:56:56
Totally agree with #1.
True Blood is oversexualised CRAP.
The best thing on my television is the fucking remote. The remote I use to turn the bloody thing off.
By Snafu, on August 17, 2010 14:11:30
That magazine cover is just ... ridiculous ... like anything to do with vampires, really.
By Mr Anonymous!, on August 17, 2010 14:16:13
True Blood was GREAT the first 2 seasons. This season SUCKS (forgive the pun). I guess reading the books ruined the show for me.
By anonymous, on August 17, 2010 14:21:26
#6 it's impossible to "oversexualise" vampires.
#7 What made you think anything affiliated with a show about vampires, werewolves and who knows what else wouldn't be ridiculous?
I had no idea people who came to a gossip/T&A site fancied themselves so culturally evolved.
You can't go wrong with a horror/mystery/softcore/soap opera/dark comedy series. It's like a southern gothic version of The Shield.

By anonymous, on August 17, 2010 19:14:29
That cover shows just how IRrelevant Rolling Stone has becomke:
Wyclef and Taylor Swift are not rock n roll
U2 and chuck Berry are a combined 437 years old
Plus there hasn't been a good vampire show since Dark Shadows
Plus that chick is so skinny that she would be a vampire's straw
Query: in Vampire-town, does Lipton sell used tampons as tea bags?
What?? Like you weren't thinking the same thing!
Why did the vampire put a sandwich bag in his mouth?
So he could have safe sUx.
Get it?
Like safe sEx except it has sUx

You're all fags, True Blood is fucking awesome. And I've read all the books, and no it didn't "ruin it for me".
There's nothing semi-porn about it, the show is just hard core, weather it's sex or violence.
