    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.... ;)

    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 :( )
