That was explained

Yeah, it's always "explained". Doesn't change the fact that it happened.

It's a 14-yr old girl fantasy - a mysterious guy turns up at high school and he's a bit dangerous but he's good really. And then he goes a bit bad, but the child's love for him prevails and he becomes good again. Blah, blah, blah. And he has hair which sticks up a lot, and is a bit moody and boring.

Buffy, Twilight, TVD, etc...

At least Buffy didn't take itself too seriously. TVD is so solemn about it. It's a parody of teenage vampire stuff, but thinks it's drama.

I echo True Blood and Being Human as superior shows. Well, superior shows for adults. I'm sure TVD and Twilight etc. are exactly right for their demographic.

Vampire Diaries? Sorry, man - you'll never get me to say it's anything but really dire TV.

If you really want to do a teen vampire show, spoof it and do a full on occult version of Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Square Pegs or Glee.

It worked (kinda) for Teen Wolf, right?

Meh. Me and the Mrs. enjoy it. Plus, it airs just before Supernatural.
