With a lull in new episodes of TV, the TV Chick is here to tell you some things you might want to check out while you wait for other shows to return (Glee, come back, please!) The Vampire Diaries was one of my favorite pilots, and has lived up to my expectations. Even if vampires aren’t your thing (which really, why would they not be?), the cast is great, the stories are interesting and the writing is not like that of other teen shows. Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder are two more great reasons why you should tune in. If you haven’t been watching, the show is based on a series of Young Adult Novels. It centers around the city of Mystic Falls, where Stefan (Paul Wesley) falls in love with Elena (Nina Dobrev). She reminds him of Katherine, his long lost love (and also his maker). Stephen is a “good” vampire, who doesn’t feed on human blood. He has been living in relative anonymity in Mystic Falls until his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder) decides to return and wreak havoc. There’s also a witch, and a community of vampire haters/hunters. Bianca Lawson from Buffy and Saved by the Bell: The New Class even guest stars!
In the world of Twilight and True Blood (which I love), The Vampire Diaries brings a unique spin on an almost overdone topic. So, what are you waiting for? You should watch! The CW will be re-airing every episode from the first half of Season 1 starting tonight. They will air two episodes each night from Monday, Dec. 14 through Friday, Dec. 18 from 8:00-10:00 p.m.
Be sure to tune in for some sexy vampire action — I mean great TV!
