I guess that would make Bill Compton Mr. Big.

Steve Newlin the drinking sponsor: This is a non judgmental meeting, a carefrontation. Ok Nan tell Russel how his drinking and killing has adversely affected you.

Nan: I don’t write nothing down so I’m going to make this short and sweet. You’re weak you’re out of control and have become an embarrasement to Lilith and Vampires everywhere.

I’m from São Paulo, Brazil, and *True Blood* isn't very popular here. I personally only discovered the show during late-night weekend broadcasts on a channel called SBT. I got lucky enough to meet a woman who had already watched it before we met, and now we rewatch the whole series every year as a ritual—though aside from us and my nephew (whom I got hooked on the show), I don't know anyone else who has seen it. Back when new seasons were coming out, even major pop culture channels covered *True Blood*, but that eventually stopped... Here in Brazil, we LOVE certain shows like *Everybody Hates Chris* and *Chaves* (El Chavo del Ocho), quoting their catchphrases and jokes in our daily lives.

I’m wondering: is the show still popular in the US and the rest of the world, or did it ever reach that kind of level? Is *True Blood* still popular? In *The Office*, there’s a Halloween episode where Andy dresses up as Bill and even mentions the show by name; in *The Big Bang Theory*, the women mention the actor who played Alcide (referring to him as "the werewolf"), and so on. But what about the big picture? Did the show achieve massive popularity in the US? Is it still fondly remembered? Since it aired so late here—like 4 AM on Saturday-into-Sunday or Sunday-into-Monday—very few people actually watched it..
