‘Vampire Diaries’ is a hit; did you bite?
Nina Dobrev in "The Vampire Diaries."
I was bored, and so was my target-demo consultant (female, age 19), but Thursday night’s “Vampire Diaries” was a big hit for the CW. This from Joe Adalian at TheWrap.com:
Bloody hell: The CW’s “The Vampire Diaires” scored the network’s biggest premiere audience ever Thursday, drawing nearly 4.84 million viewers. Among women 18-34, “Vampire” notched a 3.0/10; with women 18-49, it earned a 2.8/8. Both are CW time period highs for the 8 p.m. Thursday slot. Among all viewers 18-34, the show earned a 2.2/8 and beat everything else at 8 p.m. except football on NBC. …
Meanwhile, “Vampire” exec producer Kevin Williamson might be feeling some deja vu this morning. It was about a decade ago that another one of his creations premiered on a small network to record ratings and changed the course of that broadcaster’s history.
Did you watch? Wondering what you thought.
I actually liked the show, and will probably continue to watch. To those who nag about Twilight (like i do!) this is nothing like that at all. I’m more of a fan of true blood, but this i will watch because it was enjoyable. I’ve never read the books for these but i may attempt to so that i know.
Kevin Williamson’s ‘The Faculty’ was passable. Dawson’s creek was even parodied by its own cast. I guess it is better to be lucky than good.
Do we need another vampire show on television?
Loved it! Better acting and a bit spicier than Twilight…The return of “Boone” makes it a hit with both of us in the house.
I am a huge fan of twilight, so when I first saw previews for this I knew i would fall in love with it. i watched the season premiere it was really greaw, and it left me wanting more!!!
This whole vampire thing is exhausting, but this CW show was actually better than that “Twilight” mess.
I love this show!!!
