Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the Nov. 10th episode of The Vampire Diaries, Homecoming (EP309), will be the last new episode of 2011 – thus marking the start of the dreaded holiday hiatus. That means we have only two episodes left before the dry spell. And if anticipation isn’t already high after watching the epic extended promo for Ordinary People (EP308), EW has this to say about Homecoming:
That said, remember that Nov. 10 is the last new episode of Vampire Diaries in 2011. Rest assured, it will be a big one — especially for Stefan fans.
So, brace yourselves, fandom.
In better, non-hiatus news? Early ratings are in and, according to TVLine, Last night’s Vampire Diaries garnered 3.15 million viewers – a season high in total viewers.

How’s everyone feeling the morning after premiere day? We’re having a blast reading all of the comments here in the blog, in the forum, and on Twitter, and marveling at how last night’s episode seemed to have something for everyone. And was it just us or did The Birthday have an overall vibe of complete and total confidence? Our show’s back with a swagger and, according to TV By the Numbers, about 3 million viewers tuned into last night’s Season 3 premiere.
UK FANS: As of this post, The Birthday has not been added to iTunes for UK fans. We will let you know if it’s added. Also, there is still no OFFICIAL announcement on The Vampire Diaries Season 3 premiere on ITV2. “October” has been floating around but until there is official confirmation, we’re going to tell you “Nothing official yet” when you ask.
Canadian fans can watch the episode over at the CTV website or at MuchMusic.

The finale is over and the long Summer waiting for season 3 to return to our screens in September now begins. Initial reports from TV by the Numbers show that As I Lay Dying attracted 2.8 million viewers last night, matching last week’s 1.3 adults 18-49 rating.

Ratings are in, with the Vampire Diaries pulling in 2.84 million viewers according to TV by the Numbers. Please remember that the Vampire Diaries is the top rated show on the CW and is in no danger of being cancelled, and these figures don’t take into account the people who DVR the show to watch American Idol live (traitors! Yes, you at the back, we’re looking at you!). So don’t take these numbers so seriously that you worry about the fate of the show.
We’re not entirely sure what’s up with iTunes, but it took them a while to get the links up for the US and the UK, and not everyone has been able to access downloads. Just be patient with it.

We’re still processing last night’s episode of The Vampire Diaries, so you’ll forgive us for keeping the spiel to the point today: According to TV By the Numbers, The Last Day (EP220) remained even with last week’s numbers, bringing in an average of 2.6 million viewers over the hour. Only two episodes remain in the season and that’s plenty of time for this show to cram in all the panic attacks, hyperventilating, tissue-clenching, and OMFGs it can muster. Last night proved that you can never underestimate this show.

Ratings are in, and the Vampire Diaries is down a little bit again this week with 2.65 million viewers (a pox on American Idol!).
Just a little reminder about the ratings: The Vampire Diaries is in no danger of being cancelled. It’s the highest performing show on the CW right now, so don’t let the ratings worry you. Also, a lot of shows ratings were down this week, with some networks choosing to run repeats. It’s Easter, and holidays can have a surprising effect on ratings.

UK fans, iTunes is being slow. We’ll add the link when it’s available.

It’s the morning after The Last Dance (EP218) – everyone still intact? And did the final scene make you cheer? (We sure did.) According to TV by the Numbers, Vampire Diaries pulled in an average of 2.788 million viewers over the hour last night.
The CW’s The Vampire Diaries stayed at its season low 1.2 adults 18-49 rating.
That’s steady with last week’s ratings, but we think we can do better, yeah? Roll on with the Original action next Thursday!

The Vampire Diaries is back! And what an episode, right? Last night proved that we are in for a roller coaster ride as we approach the Season 2 finale, so spread the word that our show is kicking ass and taking names. After last night’s ep, we have FIVE back-to-back episodes until the finale on May 12th. According to TV by the Numbers, Know Thy Enemy clocked 2.75 million viewers last night.
The Vampire Diaries and Nikita each returned down a tenth with adults 18-49 from their last original episodes.
Unacceptable, you guys. Did you see what went down last night? That business was BANANAS. We know the hiatuses kill everyone (believe me, we know), but if your friends, followers, acquaintances, grandparents fell off over the month and a half break, you need to get them back on the bandwagon ASAP. And just to be clear, we’re positive the show is not in danger of cancellation right now, we just want the eyeballs this crazy goodness deserves, okay?
UPDATE: iTunes links now added!
