Vampire fascination helps HBO to well-timed hit – Yahoo! News
You bet it’s well-timed. With all the hype over Twilight, HBO was smarter than they’ve been in a long time when they chose to air True Blood. Personally, I haven’t watched it yet. I watched the first few minutes of the first episode and ended up having to go do something else. I have read part of the book series, so I’m looking forward to being able to sit down and watch it.
Another well-timed show, I have to say, is Legend of the Seeker, which is loosely based on Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series. In a time where sci-fi and fantasy is doing well in the market, Legend of the Seeker fits in well. As does Valentine, which is basically about the Olympic Gods and Goddesses living in modern times.
I think the tide is changing for television. I think the days of shows like the Cosby Show and Full House is well gone, and now shows like Heroes and Medium are coming to the forefront.
