I wasn't sure at first because I did think Twilight. After a few shows I was hooked. I'll have to read the series and see how the books compare.

i love the show..it reminds me now and then of twilight...but being a vampire show with having a vampire love a human...i guess its going to do that anyways. i didn't get to see it from the very beginning but i caught a show and i loved it...i set it to record and look forward to watching it weekly! i really look forward to reading the books as well

Good show so far. As I was reading the book I really thought this would make a great show or movie. Can't wait to see what they do for the rest of the season.

Its not like Twilight. Its way darker. I love the show its edgy. Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley are awesome as brothers. Also they are so HOT.

i thought this show would not be any good, but i tuned in anyway to see what it was about. bad idea, because then it became the number 1 show i had to watch on thursdays. i hated to miss it. thank goodness for reruns!

Love it my fav. show! So much better than the books!

i love this show, i never missed an episode, and bought the season on dvd, i cant decide between stephan and damon, and it was written 13 years BEFORE twilight so they can't be called copycats.

I love it! i never miss it!

i love this show it is amazing in every way leaving you wanting more

I cannot get enough of this show! It's got everything you want in a show; horror, suspense, comedy, and a juicy love triangle! Not to mention Ian Somerhalder! OMG! lol a must watch for every girl who loves their vampire romances!

I love this show. I didn't expect to like it, the only reason I started watching it is because there was nothing else on, but now I cant get enough. The show is addicting with a great story line, and a great cast. I cant wait to see what happens next.

This is a must DVR if you can't watch it. If you love Twilight you will love this too.

I agree with most that it is incredibly similar to "Twilight." Considering that L.J. Smith started the "Vampire Diaries" series in 1991 (source: Wikipedia), it's easy to conclude that Stephenie Meyer might have used Smith's series as inspiration for the happenings at Forks High in the "Twilight" series.

I think the show is great especially if you don't go into it comparing it to True Blood or Twilight. This show has its own feel.

LOVE it. dont like the character of elana, but the story line is pretty good. I think the writers can do way better though.
