When “The Vampire Diaries” decided to screen its entire pilot for the Comic-Con audience, knowing how well “Twilight” has done here in recent years and how well the Comic-Con audience likes vampires in general, it must have seemed like a slam dunk. Instead, the panel got caught in a perfect storm of situations pretty much designed to mean something would be received derisively by the Con’s attendees. It’s almost enough to make one feel bad for the show until one considers that, well, “The Vampire Diaries” pretty much sucks. Once one thinks about it that way, it’s easier to enjoy just how loopy the screening got.
Kevin Williamson, executive producer of the new CW show “The Vampire Diaries,” immediately wants to address the befanged, bloodsucking elephant in the room — his show is not Twilight. If anything, his inspiration goes back to Dark Shadows, the 1966 ABC soap that featured vampire Barnabas Collins and his brood of supernatural beasties interacting with a small town. Of course, now that Tim Burton is making a movie version of the show, Paul Wesley will have to fight off comparisons to Johnny Depp…
The networks have announced their Fall schedules, but which series will be worth watching? Throughout the Summer, as I watch the pilots, I’ll be posting my first impressions. Note that a lot can change before a show actually makes it to air, so these aren’t reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now. Today’s pick: the CW’s drama The Vampire Diaries.
What’s it about? Based on a book series of the same name, the show focuses on a teenager named Elena who becomes the object of affection for two competitive brothers . . . who also happen to be vampires.
Who’s in it? Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley
The good: Since executive producer Kevin Williamson also made Dawson’s Creek and Scream, it’s probably not surprising that this show finds a sweet spot between witty teen banter and creepy suspense. Dobrev and Wesley are fine in their roles, but it’s Somerhalder who really pops, and as soon as he swoops in, the show is instantly better for it. The basic outline of the story seems flexible enough to work for multiple seasons, should the show become a hit.
The bad: Some lines are unforgivably cheesy (“It’s the fog. It’s making me foggy”). That could also be a good description of the special effects, which are occasionally laugh-out-loud silly. The whole “diary” aspect of the show seems a little clunky and unnecessary on screen. The pilot drags a bit before Somerhalder shows up.
Will I watch? I’ll probably TiVo it, though I wouldn’t commit to pushing my regular Thursday shows aside for it just yet.

Sure, the mere sound of Robert Pattinson’s name can send Twilighters into attack mode, while recessionistas are paying HBO subscription fees to hear True Blood’s Stephen Moyer whisper Sookie’s name in his classical Southern drawl.
But it’s time to call attention to a fresh crop of forbidden baddies getting viewers’ blood pumping:
Ian Somerhalder as Damon
The 30-year-old star, best known for his role as Boone on ABC’s Lost, brings some bloodsucking action to network TV on the CW’s new series, The Vampire Diaries – out this fall. As smug vampire Damon, Somerhalder gets in between his younger vampire brother Stefan and his mortal teen crush Elena.
Kellan Lutz as Emmett
Playing ripped big brother Emmett to Pattinson’s Edward Cullen can’t be the easiest job, but Lutz – who also stars on 90210 – has his own set of “Twilighters” screaming. The 24-year-old hunk, who landed on PEOPLE’s “Hottest Bachelors” list, has girls (and their moms!) ogling over his steamy shirtless shots.
Alexander Skarsgard as Eric
As Eric Northman, the brooding vampire “sheriff” presiding over Bill Compton’s Louisiana area, Skarsgard, 32, brings a commanding presence to HBO’s cult hit True Blood. The blond Swede’s character also owns hotspot Fangtasia.
So which vampire hottie do you want to be bitten by?
