Channel Surfing: TRUE BLOOD, POLITICAL ANIMALS & BIG BROTHER
This has not been the most fantastic of seasons for TRUE BLOOD. There are too many storylines unfolding at the same time to give the show an incredibly chaotic feel… and not in the good sense. That said, last night’s may have been the best of the season, thanks in large part to the awesome and unexpected cliffhanger. Denis O’Hare’s Russell Edgington — the unapologetic vamp — is quite possibly the best character in the history of the show and he was, once again, used perfectly in the final moments. Another highlight of the past few weeks has been the relationship between Pam and her bratty bloodchild, Tara. The same can’t be said for the smoke monster — er, sorry, that was LOST — fire monster that is trying to kill Terry and his former army military buds. The story sounds like one of those things where someone in the writer’s room said, “Oh, hey, what about Terry and Arlene. We need something for them to do!” Oh, and for those who didn’t pick up on the fact the folks out killing “sups” were wearing Obama masks this week, Alan Ball (who scripted this week’s outing) had one of them shout, “Yes we can!” in what felt kinda like a desperate attempt to court controversy.

Summer TV Preview: POLITICAL ANIMALS
The tale may sound familiar, and in fact, the new series POLITICAL ANIMALS is eerily reminiscent of a well-known former president and his wife. But where the television series differs from its real world counterpart tale is its humor and charm. Lovingly and cleverly crafted by Greg Berlanti (EVERWOOD, BROTHERS & SISTERS), the series POLITICAL ANIMALS takes viewers into a world where politics is not just in one family’s blood, it is a calling of the noblest order. Rather than try to rely on such a pretentious theme, the show is smart enough to realize that what makes it so relatable and addictive is its willingness to poke fun of itself and the absurdity of what it seeks to portray while laced with a layer of poignancy that compels us to keep watching.
