Jaunted is planning our fall travel with some help from the networks. Check out our Fall TV 2008 Map to go where your new favorite characters go.
"Six Feet Under" creator Alan Ball got bit by the vampire craze and created HBO's new series "True Blood," about a small Louisiana town where vamps have come "out of the coffin" to coexist peacefully with humans.
Of course, the humans don't know the bloodsuckers walk among them: This arrangement is largely due to the invention of a synthetic blood beverage called TruBlood, which fills their need for the red stuff. When a mind-reading waitress named Sookie (Anna Paquin) sees a stranger (Stephen Moyer, "The Starter Wife") order a cold TruBlood at the bar where she works, they begin a relationship that if not forbidden, is plenty creepy.

The series takes place in the fictional town of Bon Temps, but second-unit shooting has been going on in Shreveport for months, and characters in the series refer to a fictional Shreveport bar named Fangtasia.
Then again, given that little pickle Josh Brolin found himself in last month, perhaps it's best to steer clear of Shreveport bars for now?
