    Welcome to another version of Alphabet Sheep - TV Shows!

    The twist, as per the sign up thread is that for every third letter of the alphabet (or second in the case of Y Z) - they are an Emu.

    That means if you sheep on all three of the letters - eg. A, B and C - your score will be ZERO


    So will it be



    for all you sheepers?

    Or perhaps it will some Bad Things will happen...




    Starts tonight/tomorrow afternoon!!:D

    I always loved that True Blood theme tune. It was the best thing about that show.

    How the scoring will work:

    I will post an updated list of individual scores after each individual Emu.

    So after A, B and C - then again after D, E and F - etc.

    I may change that up as we get closer to the end for dramatic effect of course.... ;)

    I always loved that True Blood theme tune. It was the best thing about that show.
    True Blood had so much potential and had many good moments but it got bogged down with way too many characters and ridiculous side-plots. I never even saw the last two seasons of it.

    Lafayette was a legend though. (RIP Nelsan Ellis :( )



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Wait, did Nelsan Ellis die? I don't remember hearing about that. RIP.
