A True Blood-ed Hit for HBO
Tuesday November 18, 2008

If the renewal of HBO's True Blood for another season wasn't already an indication, the ratings are clear: the show is a hit. Although its September debut drew a modest viewership, the vampire show based on the Sookie Stackhouse series of novels by Charlaine Harris has steadily grown an audience. With the season finale looming next week, this week's episode drew in around 2.4 million viewers. While that number doesn't sound terribly impressive, it's a 66% increase over the premiere, and as CNN points out, when you take into account the repeat airings, the HBO on demand viewership and the DVR viewings, the average audience balloons to 6.8 million per week. That would put it in the top 30 of all TV shows this season.

It sounds like True Blood has grown on viewers -- myself included. I admittedly wasn't drawn in until the last three or so episodes, but it's gotten pretty good. Plus, it gives me an excuse to do my Bill Elvis-meets-Foghorn Leghorn impression: "Sookie!"

Thanks for the ratings articles! If the show gets these kind of numbers or more next season, i'd say we may get a third season very quickly.

Thanks Nad

Here is another one mentioning the same as your article -

'True Blood' Shows Ratings Growth for HBO

‘True Blood’ Shows Ratings Growth for HBO By The New York Times Perhaps the creative ad campaign, above, for “True Blood” has helped draw in viewers. (HBO) “True Blood,” the HBO series about vampires that finished its first season on Sunday, has “steadily increased in stature to become the cable network’s most popular series since ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘Sex and the City,’” the Associated Press reports. The audience for the series — an average of 6.8 million per week, counting all the repeats and on-demand viewings — has grown 66 percent since its debut in September.

Thanks, Andie

Love to see those numbers confirmed by another article

• Okay, Twilight's not a TV show. But it was a hit. Just like HBO's True Blood, which took a bite out of 2.4 million in its season finale. How much did its audience grow from September premiere to Sunday? A whopping 71 percent.

Oh, that's good news.

A TV series involving vampires on HBO, some good casting and some Alan Ball magic: it just had to be a winning recipe.

'True Blood' Sucks Up Big Ratings in Its First Season
Sunday, November 30, 2008

Sam Trammell, Anna PaquinHBO's True Blood is the type of show destined to be a hit. Creator Alan Ball's new series, which recently wrapped its first season, combines vampires, romance, sex, drugs and lots of nudity, all of which lure in different sectors of the audience. It's like Twilight for grown-ups. However, True Blood wasn't a smash hit right out of the gate. When it premiered in September, the show pulled in a mere 1.44 million viewers, which is a far cry from HBO's past hits like Sex and the City.

True Blood may not have sucked up big ratings with its pilot episode, but the show slowly built an audience over the course of its first season. The series is picking up new viewers even faster than The Sopranos did during its run, with 2.4 million people tuning in for last week's big finale.

True Blood's Sunday night viewership grew about 66 percent over the course of the season, but the numbers are more impressive when you add in the people who watch the show at other times. Not only does HBO rerun episodes several times a week, but subscribers also have the option to watch them On Demand whenever they choose. Add all of these viewing methods together and True Blood is actually being seen by about 6.8 million people per week, according to The Associated Press. That doesn't take into account illegal downloads, which have helped millions of others get hooked on the show.

Michael Lombardo, HBO's chief of West Coast operations, told the AP that the network has been amazed by the growth of the series. "We haven't gone out and made a lot of noise about it because every week the numbers would come in and we'd say, ‘Wow, is this true? Will this sustain?'" he said. "You see other networks putting on important programs on Sunday nights and you worry, ‘can you bring them back?' What has been fantastic is to see the subscribers have been waiting for a Sunday night show they can make appointment viewing again."

As True Blood has surged in the ratings, the book series that the show is based on has also climbed up the charts. All seven Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris are currently in the top 30 of The New York Times paperback fiction bestsellers list. The first season of the series was based on Harris's first novel, while season 2, airing next summer, will be based on the next book, Living Dead in Dallas.

Season 2 of True Blood will begin filming in January. HBO is planning a DVD release of the first season sometime before new episodes air, which should help millions more discover the addictive vampire drama.
