TV Nudity Report:True Blood, Girls, Mad Men, The Big C [PICS]

Seasons change, but T&A is forever, as MAM-onstrated by the slew of nude season premieres and finales on the boob tube this weekend. Last night’s season five premiere of True Blood was titled, appropriately enough, “Turn! Turn! Turn!”, and the episode had enough skin to turn any limp snake into a wooden stake. Kelly Overton (who you may recall briefly went nude in the 2010 video-game adaptation Tekken ) provided the week’s best nudity baring T&A as she transformed from a werewolf back into human form. And nudecomer Lucy Griffiths also exposed seat meat getting banged from behind in her shipping container…no, literally. She lives in a shipping container. Also nude on HBO this weekend, Lena Dunham said goodbye to season one of her contentious creation Girls by baring boobs during a bout of SKINsomnia, and Mad Men ended season five with Alexis Bledel once again pushing the boundaries of basic cable with some major (and majorly mouthwatering) side boob. Looks like she took Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino’s advice to heart. And The Big C isn’t ending anytime soon (the Showtime series still has four more episodes to go in season three), but it still had Skin central’s attention as nudecomer Liz Twining made her nude debut. Ah, the old “hot young piece walks around naked while two other characters have a conversation” chestnut… See more pics from this week’s True Blood , Girls , Mad Men and The Big C after the jump!

The Big C Scores Surprisingly Big Ratings

Showtime’s new cancer comedy The Big C might not have been a winner in the supporting characters department (I’m talking to you, Oliver Platt and homeless brother who eats garbage) but it scored a ratings coup last night, earning over 1.5 million viewers total. Said the premium cable network in a press release earlier today: ” The Big C delivered Showtime’s largest audience in 8 years for an original series debut (Previously: Odyssey 5 on 6/21/02 with 1.155MM).” Congrats, Laura Linney: You beat Odyssey 5 , whatever that was!

REVIEW: In The Big C, Laura Linney Can’t Do It All Alone

There’s a moment at the end of the pilot episode of The Big C when Cathy Jamison (Laura Linney), finally reveals her previously pent up mixed emotions in the face of a stage 4 melanoma diagnosis. It’s a wonderful little monologue from a wonderful actress… and that it’s recited to a dog should tell you all you need to know about the major structural flaws of The Big C .
