HBO Picks Up True Blood, Entourage and Hung
Not that we thought they were going anywhere, but today at the Television Critics Association press tour, HBO officially announced that True Blood and Entourage have been picked up for another season. The news of an early Hung pickup, however, was a wee bit surprising as that show is still finding its legs and is getting mixed reviews from the critics.
"One of the reasons we brought [True Blood] back as soon as we did was it always felt like a summer show. The hope and expectation is to try to bring it back next summer as well," Michael Lombardo, HBO's president of programming, told the crowd.
Now that we know Sookie and the gang will continue to glamour us for another season, what about your other HBO faves, such as Big Love, Flight of the Conchords, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency and Eastbound & Down?

The holidays are all about giving, which may explain why the good, kind folks at HBO are giving us the second season premiere of Flight of the Conchords a full month earlier than expected! (And we didn't get them anything!)
If you've never seen this show, here is your chance! We have video of the full first episode of Flight of the Conchords below, thanks also to the kind folks at funnyordie.com. It won't air on HBO until Jan. 18.
The clueless and now-shoeless duo of Bret and Jemaine have fallen on hard times and looking to take their musical career in another direction. What will they do to supplement their income? Hint: It may involve R. Kelly!
It's damn funny and nutty as all get out, and we think you'll like it...
