TV Guide Recommends True Blood

TV Guide released their list of What To Watch this fall and they pick True Blood as one of their faves.

True Blood (HBO)
Premieres: Sunday, Sept. 7, 9 pm/ET
Who’s on it: Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer (The Starter Wife)

What it’s about: In an unspecified future, the invention of synthetic blood makes it possible for vampires (including Moyer’s Bill Compton) to walk among us. Paquin plays Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic, small-town waitress in rural Louisiana. Creator Alan Ball (Six Feet Under), who adapted the novels of Charlaine Harris, promises that Blood will avoid vampire clichés. “One of the things I love about Charlaine’s books is the way she treats the supernatural world so matter-of-factly,” he says. “We want to keep the supernatural rooted in nature, so that it’s just more nature than we’re used to in everyday life.”

Why it’s an editors’ pick: Its impressive pedigree: Ball + Paquin + HBO + vampire stories = appointment TV.
