    HBO have announced that they've picked up 'True Blood' for another season. Excellent news (although I wasn't worried as it's their biggest show now) - the new season is very good.

    They've also renewed 'Hung' which I haven't seen and 'Entourage' (sigh) which has been riding the coat tails of 'True Blood's success.

    But hurrah - more 'True Blood'!

    Must start watching True Blood, only heard good things about it.

    Entourage is a decent show but I wonder how they long they can push it, season 6 hasnt gotten off to a great start but season 5 was brilliant

    Tried to watch a bit of Hung but got bored. Must try again.

    Gonna give Warehouse 13 a bash if only for the feature length pilot.

    Great news for "True Blood" though it didn't even cross my mind that it wouldn't be picked up. Never watched "Entourage" and "Hung" still hasn't really been stellar, just ok so far but it must be doing well enough... But woo hoo, more "True Blood" :D.

    You might want to watch the first three episodes - the pilot is a bit weak IMO, probably because of the feature length - it feels like filler in many parts. Not a bad lighthearted show though but again, nothing has happened so far to make it really stand out...

    Yes - Entourage Season 6 rocks.

    Didn't we see the same negative comments last year at the start of Season 5?

    Hooray for 'True Blood' - superb stuff!

    Watched the first 2 episodes of 'Hung' but it seems like fairly average stuff, but maybe it'll pick up.

    Think 'Entourage' is utter cack tbh.

    Yeah for True Blood, although it never even occoured to me that it could be cancelled because of how good it is.

    I haven't watched the other shows.

    Hung has potential but is a bit slow and uninteresting so far in my opinion. Entourage is silly entertainment, hot chick and movie star drama is always watchable, especially with Jeremy Piven the only person who can act in the show.
    Have yet to watch True Blood, must pick up the early stuff and give it a try.

    Great news regarding True Blood (quality show), not that bothered about Entourage to be honest and I have yet to take a look at Hung.

    Entourage is really flogging a dead horse these days and True Blood was never going to get axed. I've never heard of Hung before.

    It's only aired four episodes so far, so it's early days for it. I'm surprised it was given a second season so quickly. But that's what I appreciate about the cable networks, like HBO: they give their shows a chance to succeed and not cancel them after two or three episodes. Something like True Blood would never had made it on mainstream networks after the first three episodes, which were pretty dire... (of course, it also would never make it to network TV in the first place, given its' graphic nature!).
