Sorta. The CW. I only watch Supernatural on that channel, but I was planning to give this show a try. Looks like it'll be a pass though. I'll stick with True Blood.

I'm pretty sure they are, but not the one everyone wants. I read they were planning a remake of the original Buffy movie from the 80s. Sigh. Well, hopefully they'll get PeeWee Herman back. His death scene was the best (only good?) part of that movie.

Basically Beverly Hills 90210 with Vampires....

I saw the first half of it and then gave up, sorry to say it won't last...

It's CW, home of the 90210 and Melrose Place reboots. The show only has to do moderately well among certain demographics to survive. It very well could survive regardless of quality. Meanwhile, the other networks will be canceling great shows left and right.

Do they sparkle in the sunlight too?

Much better ratings than the Melrose reboot, which got 2.3 million viewers, which is less the half of what 90210's series premiere got last year. 90210's season premiere got 2.6 million viewers. Between these 2 shows and Bionic Woman and Knight Rider it appears people aren't big into reboots the last couple years. I've got Vampire Diaries on my DVR, might watch it this weekend.

I'm just not happy that CW moved Smallville for this show.

i watched it last nite, with low hopes, and it was actually pretty good
i didnt think it would be that good because the main lead nina dobrev, cant really act, but she really stepped it up for this show
i went to school with this girl and its really weird to see her on a new tv show, to come from cananda and be on cw(in the states) pretty young is not bad at all, i used to watch her on degrassi and i was like thats cool, buts its degrassi... so not really impressive, and she really couldnt act on that show
pretty good story line, but it just seems too much like twilight, but its based on a book and my girlfriend told me it came out before twilight..
if anyone missed it, its playing tonite on much music i believe

I actually really liked it...it's different than TWILIGHT though.

[Danielle Ni Dhighe]

It was better than Twilight, but co-showrunner Kevin Williamson can do better than this.

I found this over on io9:

Vampire Diaries Actresses Arrested For Roadside Topless "Filming"



"Four actresses from the CW's new Vampire Diaries were arrested for flashing drivers in Georgia but claim it was all for the show, since they had one cameraman with them. Really? We speculate potential dramatics explaining said "vampire flashing" scene.

According to WSBTV the four actresses and the cameraman were all arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after "dangling" off a Georgia overpass and flashing oncoming traffic:

Several drivers called 911 on Aug. 22 to report seeing the young women flashing drivers on I-75 from the side of the Rumble Road overpass just north of Macon. The women told Monroe County authorities they were just filming for the show.

Call me crazy, but one cameraman does not a crew make. Plus, don't TV productions normally close down streets for filming? I'd assume it'd be a closed set when there's nakedness involved. But let's say it was real... What do we you think the flashing scene entailed?

Me, I'd like to think the epic fighting between ancient vampire brothers reached an all time blood bath and the mild mannered one (Stefan, not evil brother Damon, because his name is Damon so, hello, evil) is strewn out across the road, beaten and bloodied and about to die with the rising of the sun. See, in Vampire Diaries the brothers have MAGIC RINGS which allow them to walk in the sun, sparkle-free, but in this instance he's lost his ring in the battle with his brother. As Stefan slowly embraces his eventual death, the local High School Girls appear. Thankfully, they've been told that the power of flashing will bring his strength back, just like clapping for Tinkerbell.

See? They're flashing to save his life, so it's not cheap or silly or a terrible recreation of that one time in the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sister Pajamas or something. It's totally unique and empowering, and not just a camera guy who convinced them all to flash the road after a location night out. Or, you know, maybe not.

Great PR stunt Vampire Diaries smiley mugshots are hilarious facebook pics, but if real, and I doubt it, I'd like to meet these "get those damn kids off my bridge" narks."

I'm going to add this to the useful links as the discussion thread.

[PS3-Playb3yond]

This is actually not that bad. This show has more action and is a little bit scarier than Twilight. I like it.

Ugh, I blame Twilight...
