Porn Valley- [www.veronica-mars.tvsquad.com]- Is a new HBO series going to show real sex on screen?

That’s the buzz coming out of the summer Television Critics Association tour, which starts today. The new HBO series Tell Me You Love Me reportedly has male and female stars doing it for real, not just the usual “lovemaking” you see on television (even cable). Rob Owen over at post-gazette.com has seen the pilot and says it looks like it’s real and not camera angles or special effects.

But how can this be? How the heck could HBO hope to get away with that in this post-Janet Jackson nipple age? And Jane Alexander is in it! But it’s great buzz for the show, and if that’s what HBO is trying to do, it’s definitely working.

The show premieres September 9. Set your Tivos.
