What’s On Tonight

7/12

Sunday

True Blood is back this week on HBO at 9 PST. Tonight’s episode is called “Shake and Fingerpop” and it starts with Bill and Sookie heading to Dallas to carry out Eric’s vampire-reconnaissance mission, but a surprise awaits them at the airport. At the Light of Day Institute, Jason falls victim to a practical joke, but has the last laugh when the Newlins anoint him for a higher calling. Maryann throws Tara a birthday party at Sookie’s, attracting much of Bon Temps to its Bacchanalian revelry. Sam postpones his departure from town to attend the bash, connecting with Daphne in the process. Having barely escaped Fangtasia, Lafayette finds himself reluctantly pulled back into Eric’s orbit. I can’t wait, it looks good.

Hung is on at 10PST on HBO and tonight is the second episode called, “Great Sausage” or “Can I Call You Dick?” where in an effort to market Ray as a high-end “happiness consultant,” Tanya tracks down a former law-firm colleague named Lenore, who agrees to take Ray for a test ride in exchange for the names and numbers of wealthy women. Meanwhile, Jessica’s obsessive behavior grates on her kids, who push Ray to fix his fire-damaged house. A local contractor promises Ray a “Wolf Pack” discount for repairs, but money mismanagement has Ray strapped for cash. That all could change after Ray’s session with Lenore or so he and Tanya hope. I saw the first episode and it was good, interesting, and like no other show out right now.
