I've also been watching The IT Crowd, about tech support guys, really funny show and Important Things with Demetri Martin, which is this stand up comedian telling jokes and doing sketches about different topics each week.

Everyone's seen Twilight's success and has done anything and everything to do with vampires. I've seen books that resemble the front covers of the twilight books too.

I would've mentioned Twilight, but I think anybody who is in love with Twilight probably wouldn't like True Blood.
Bu I hate how Twilight has ripped off aspects of Buffy and Blade. And then turned them shit.

Even though I've never read the books, I'm sure the series True Blood is based on has far superior writing than Twilight.

Yeh, it's far more adult that Twilight. There's drug taking and sex and racism issues, not sparkling vampires.

True Blood is a HUGE hit here.

And I actually finally read Twilight and watched the movie, and it wasn't so bad. No, better than that. I enjoyed the book. It's very romantic.

^ Yes, it's a huge hit out here. I watched the premiere and first few episodes of it, last year on HBO. There's currently a vampire obsession going on. No doubt, if VH1 ever does a segment on our generation (just as they have done so with "I Love The 70's"..etc) we'd be branded with the vampire craze. Now there's advertisements for a new show titled, "Vampire Diaries". Enough already.

Vampire Diaries is being advertised out here also.
There's another one they showed here, but it got axed and I think they ran out of episodes, called Moonlight, which I haven't watched.
Apparently True Blood is the highest rating HBO show since The Sopranos.
Aren't HBO just awesome!!!?!! Deadwood, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, True Blood, Oz, The Wire, The Sopranos. Everything they make is gold (I haven't seen the last 3 I mentioned much, but I've heard only great things). And of course airing SHH and co-producing Angry Boys.

The Inbetweeners. I didn't think I'd like it but I do. The language!

Agreed in regards to HBO. It houses some great material!

Post Script: Today, as I was flipping through the channels, I saw the trailer of an upcoming film titled, "The Vampire's Assistant". Oh dear..

^ The Vampire's Assistant is based on a book series called 'Cirque Du Freak' which I read in high school (12 books). It's actually a really great series but the movie adaption is coming out at a horrible time considering everyone is now tired of vampires thanks to a certain crap series...

But yeah, the movie may be a flop but the books were good........

it goes :The Simpsons, The Cleveland Show, Family Guy, American Dad

anyone else watch these? I LOVE them except the Cleveland Show. It's new and should be canceled soon in my opinion.

But Simpsons, Fam Guy and American Dad never let me down! Hilarious shit.

I'm trying to get into Family Guy but can't quite get there. I'm sent to the corner of the room when it's on for not laughing. I'm obsessed with South Park, though. I have to watch one at night.

Then again, I can't get my older son into SHH, and he can't get me into How Not To Live Your Life - a fairly new comedy that's doing well in Britain. I think it should be Chris taking that prime time slot!!

Ah, is it? I haven't read the books so I can't judge the content of the series. I'm just over the vampire craze. I didn't mind it when there was a film (or book) here and there in regards to vampires...but when it has become the spotlight of the entertainment business..that's where I become irritated. Having '"tweens" running around, wanting to become vampires is quite disturbing.

I've been watching John Safran's Race Relations. It recently started on ABC. It is also produced by Laura Waters. He's another comedian with that OMG factor so i sense she likes to work with the 'challenging' people.

I think i might even....you know. As i think you guys might like this.

Glee Makes me soooooooo happy.

Totally agree. Vampires are no longer cool

I absolutely love their version of "Hate On Me". It has been stuck in my head for days!

Glee is that High School Musical rip off huh?

Hahaha, not exactly.

I'm with Cartman on this sorry.

"If this is what is considered cool these days then i no longer have any connection to this world. I'm gonna go home and kill myself now."

100% agree.

My cousin was watching it and i walked in and was like "WTF is this?" and she told me. I backed out of the room and went and watched Basketball Diaries....now thats my kinda shit.

"Basketball Diaries" is fantastic. Man, I love that film.

Me too. I love heroin based junkie films. Jim Caroll band are great too. Leo did great in that film, as did Marky Mark.

So I take it you enjoyed "Trainspotting" with the lovely Ewan Mcgregor?

Its one of my top 3 fave movies. Hahaha. I like Sick Boy though. Yes great, great movie. I wanted to see it since i was little but being 18+ i couldnt so my older cousin hired it for me when i was 12 and i've loved it since.

Sick Boy is awesome, agreed. That whole film is a complete trip. The bit with the toilet and such...insane. Hahaha. Yeah, It's definitely a great film.

If you're referring to Glee with your reference, the point of the show is that they are totally uncool and it's super geeky. LOL which is why it's HILARIOUS.
