Wow, CW--you really are going after the teen girl audience, aren't you?
So I was rewatching "Afterschool Special" tonight, mainly for Dean in gym shorts, and I saw a preview of that new vampire show on the CW that's going in Smallville's old timeslot: Vampire Diaries. And wow, does it look like a terrible Twilight ripoff, though a little googling informs me that it's actually based on a book series that predates Twilight. (I may have even read the books--they sound vaguely familiar). And I guess a cast that includes Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder is going to be a plus for some people. But I think if I end up watching it it's mainly going to be for the same reason I ended up seeing "Twilight": to mock it mercilessly.

Who knows? Maybe it'll be surprisingly good. That happens sometimes, right?

Aren't those pluses for vampires, though? ;) I watched the preview at work so had to have the sound off, and it looked totally dumb, but they've moved Ugly Betty to Fridays as well, so I will watch at least the pilot of slashy vampire brothers since it is right before SPN and why not just turn the TV on an hour earlier? I hope it is as dumb as it looks so that I can lulz without getting involved.

But I'll probably check out a couple of episodes of this at least, even if the trailer does make it look incredibly lame.
