At least this way the show would be laughing with us?

This would be great if the fake audience did more than just laugh and clap. The rules dictate that the audience say "oooooh" after a sexual innuendo. Some scenes could have certainly used a sentimental "awwww". Also, the applause was placed inappropriately except at the end, where it was not nearly vigorous enough. Straight applause should always follow a catch phrase, which in this case, could have been implied several times. Concept - A, Execution - B-.

Wow. I wouldn't have thought it was so easy to make the show worse, and yet they did. I'm impressed.

"Someone has re-imagineered True Blood as a laff-track sitcom. Now it's the best show on television!"

Fixed up a typo for ya there Gabe.

I've never seen this show. Is it about a group of bad actors trying to out "South" one another?

Not be an ass (i'm going to be an ass) but that was not well done. The laughs were not realistically placed (as stated above) and there weren't even any vampires! Also, Arlene is great and all but I would much rather have seen them use a full episode and put laughter in during all the ridicules gore...or a chuckle every time someone says "Eggs" (mah name is EHGS!) and when Jason Stackhouse comes on the audience should hoot and perv out as if he was Kelly Bundy.
HOWEVER> If she/he was to redub this "Arlene" all it would need is Lafayette saying "Kiss Mah Grits!" It'd watch it! ...or at least read the comments Gabe posts on here after he watches it.

I didn't know Reba McEntire was on True Blood. Apparently, human blood is what's kept her pumping out records for the past 3 years.
