Before I start sharing the histories or mini-bios on the charaters as promised, I just have to give a shout out to Sesame Street for doing a spoof on True Blood!!! It is so funny. They really made a solid effort to get the tiniest detail right. I thought that a british accent would not be terribly amiss for the Bill character ( how's that for consistency?), but the Muppet Sookie has a southern accent just as horrendous as the TV Sookie's...I know I am not alone in saying Sesame Street is one of the most creative and ever evolving show out there. The writers just seem to instinctively tap into and filter popular culture and present it in its most simple form. But always with that element of pure fun...enjoy...True Mud...click on the link to watch :)
This blog will explore how Charlaine Harris' groundbreaking, Sookie Stackhouse book series relates to the epic HBO television series, True Blood. The tv series takes alot of liberties with the original book series and this blog will look closely and decide if the changes improved or diminished the original idea.

True Blood and Sesame Street
My blog has been a bit unfocused and for this I apologise. I can only say that we are back on track...for the most part anyway. But be sure I will update you over the next few posts.

ReplyDeleteTheir parodies are hilarious. Among my (and my daughter's) faves: Mad Men, Desperate Houseplants, Meal or No Meal, Law & Order: Special Letters Unit and of course GNN (Grouch News Network).
