The CW Network premiered a new show...
The Vampire Diaries.
Its a television show based off the series written by L.J. Smith.
It is the typical teen romance between a simple human girl and an all too handsome vampire.
It goes like this:
Boy meets girl.
Girl likes boy.
Boy lets her know that hes really a Vampire.
Girl gets surprised, but somewhere along the way, its deeply intriguing to her, and they fall in love.
Does that sound familiar?
Because Im sure Twilight had that exact concept. And, in reality we know that there is not another vampire romance series better than Twilight.
Although, The Vampire Diaries already sounds promising, could it be that without the success of Twilight, this series wouldn't have been possible.
TV by the numbers, and online website, has stated that The Vampire Diaries is already the most watched season premier ever.
It's odd to think that even thought the plots are different, The Vampire Diaries relies so much on it's competition. Let's get real, whether or not Twilight may not be your cup of tea, there is something deeply exciting about a vampire coming to lure you with his all too charming personality.
How can you prolong the adaptation of a book?
Movies are simple, you release a a few movies within several years, and when its over, its literally over.
A TV series on the other hand goes by seasons, hours and hours of weekly shows.
who wins?
