As a rabid Sopranos and Rome fanatic, I was delightfully surprised when I found out a month or two ago about the new series True Blood.

Quoted from the True Blood Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Blood
True Blood is an American television drama series created by Alan Ball, based on the Sookie Stackhouse book series by Charlaine Harris. The show is broadcast on the premium cable network HBO in the United States. It is produced by HBO in association with Ball's production company, Your Face Goes Here Entertainment.[1] It premiered on September 7, 2008. The show has been renewed for a second season.[2]

True Blood details the co-existence of vampires and humans in Bon Temps, a fictional small Louisiana town. The series centers on Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), a telepathic waitress at a diner, who falls in love with vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer).[1][3]

It is a fantastic series, I encourage anyone who likes vampires, or hell, even good old HBO series,to at least check this out. It's got a solid storyline, some sex, some delicious vampire gore death scenes.
I thought this is all there is,
but now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
but will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

Make him a psychic who also does forensic work and CBS would pick it up without even reading the script.
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

Fixt.

If FOX would pick up anything that isn't 24 and House and continue to actually air it after one season would be a fucking miracle.

I find you questionable.

There is this man who can change his shape to any animal he has last seen. And he owns a dog, so he can make himself to be that dog.
But when he is a dog he is not that dog but a copy of that dog.
