‘True Blood’ ends season on high note

On Sunday, HBO’s season finales for sophomore vampire drama “True Blood” (5.1 million) and freshman comedy “Hung” (2.9 million) ended strong. Though “Blood” didn’t set yet another ratings record for its finale, the show concluded its season up sharply from where it started.

The same can’t be said for “Hung,” which finished about where it opened. Still, when you factor repeat viewings, as HBO loves to do, “Hung” is tracking to be HBO’s most-watched first-year series.
