I first learned of this show on the IMDb Twilight & New Moon forums, and happened across an ep the other night while scrolling through my satellite's grid. I watched the ep and got addicted. It is ep 4, which is playing every night this week so far. I've seen the ep several times now. Ep 5 will air Sunday night.
On the forum were mentions of similarities between the two vampire series: in the Twilight series, Edward (vampire) can hear everyone's thoughts except one, Bella (human) ... and in the Southern Vampire/Sookie Stackhouse series, Sookie (human) can hear everyone's thoughts except one, Bill (vampire).

Thanks to the net, I'm now caught up on _all_ the eps. I haven't read the books, so it isn't clear if it's just Bill's thoughts she can't hear, or all vampires. I didn't pay that close enough attention while watching the eps. I don't recall her reading the minds of any of the vampires, but I could have missed it if she did.
Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to ep 5 this Sunday. ... And I can't wait for the "Twilight" movie next month.

In ep 4 ... in the vamp bar ... the exchange between Eric & Pam:
Eric: "Our little zoo is starting to grow"
Pam: "I know"
I got this info from a thread on the "True Blood" IMDb forum.

So much to see, so little time.  We don't have any movie channels, however, and you know how much time I spend at my computer these days. Thanks, Jox.  |

I picked up on True Blood at a friend's house and watch it when I'm over there. Of course (thank you ChelSierra Remly)I found that I can catch up on the internet now.

You're welcome, islermarenic.
Yes, you can catch up on the internet, but you have to be quick. Because of copyright infringement the videos are taken down as soon as they're discovered.
You can, however, buy the eps at iTunes.

Whoo Hoo! Callisto showed up at the end of ep 10! I can't wait to see her use her berserker rage! Callisto is a maenad that showed up in book two of the Sookie Stackhouse series.

Hmmm ... Apparently they've changed Callisto's name to "Maryann" ... Yeah, that berserker rage is gonna be really scary now. 
And according to the actresses' IMDb profile, she was in ep 9 too. I'm gonna have to rewatch that to see where I missed her the many times I've seen that ep.
