True Mud…. What?!

Today one of my friends say’s “the Sesame Street True Mud episode is on”… True Mud? Like True Blood? Oh yeah… That’s the one.

So in case you haven’t jumped on the True Blood bandwagon let me tell you a little about it. It’s a show based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries that take place in Bon Temps, by Charline Harris starring:

Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse

(human, waitress, necrophiliac)

&

Stephen Moyer as Bill Compton

(vampire, solider, loves humans).

It’s on HBO and has already run for 3 seasons. While Sookie and Bill are the “stars” they are not in my opinion the best characters (sorry guys… you just aren’t) but they at least aren’t the worst (that award goes to Tara)

Rutina Wesley as Tara Thornton

(Sookie’s best friend, annoying, obnoxious, really should have been killed off by now… Sorry! It’s true!)

I’m not sure if it’s Tara the way she is written, or Tara the way she is played, that annoys me so much, but whatever it is… I just can’t stand her.

Best character on the show??? Make that characterS. I can’t choose… So the joint award would have to go to

Nelsan Ellis as Lafayeette Reynolds

(Tara’s cousin, cook, gay, drug dealer, outspoken, awesome)

Alexander Skarsgård as Eric Northman

(vampire sheriff, Bill’s nemesis, hot…it’s okay, he’s also man-crush worthy guys)

The show is full of murders, mysteries, and hot sex (human on human, vampire on vampire, and of course the all important human on vampire [or would that be vampire on human?]). Which reminds me of the other two characters that would also have to share that “best” award (sorry guys, it’ll have to be cut 4 ways).

Ryan Kwanten as Jason Stackhouse

(Sookie’s brother, bon temps resident playboy)

&

Chris Bauer as Andy Bellefleur

(bon temps human slightly dimwitted deputy/sheriff [just an amazing character])

Jason and Andy are connected but without really giving to much away I can’t tell you why. All I have to say is that between these 4 “best” characters the story is pushed along (or kept way more interesting than it otherwise would be). As you might have guessed from the pictures Eric and Jason are the eye candy on the show, and they are involved in many of the bedroom scenes as well… Oh man… Why did I start writing about this???Oh YEAH! True Mud.

Okay so this show OBVIOUSLY doesn’t sound like Sesame Street material and it really isn’t however they have managed to make a skit that is not only great for kids to watch, but also plays to their parents who may watch True Blood. So for your viewing pleasure here is the True Mud excerpt (but first the opening credits and one of the scenes from the first episode of True Blood for those of you that haven’t seen the show ever/just in awhile).
