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.

Like I said in the post, I might have read these a long time ago--there was a time I would read anything vampire-related--but if I did I unfortunately don't remember. But I hope for your sake they don't butcher the books too much.
