Quote: Nikki Finke (On True Blood)

Ugh, HBO Renews Repugnant 'True Blood'
So Plepler and Lombardo now think they're heroes. I'm here to tell them they're not. True Blood is the definition of craptastic. When Alan Ball was first pitching it, he told HBO, "This is popcorn TV for smart people." But I felt like a dumbass for watching all four advance episodes expecting some kind of intelligent life to emerge on the small screen. And if the pay channel bosses had half a brain between them, and taste that wasn't in their mouths, they'd feel ashamed to feed this junky show to HBO's already malnourished viewers.

Wow.

And Fringe is crap too. So far, only Leverage is worth seeing.
