So, we’re not quite recovered yet from last night’s epic Vampire Diaries finale, and we have a lot of catching up to do news-wise, but? SO WORTH IT. We’re suffering from total FLAIL hangovers and expect there will be more with each re-watch. And according to TV By the Numbers, 3.5 million Vampire Diaries fans are feeling the same way this morning.
It was “season finale” Thursday on the CW, and Vampire Diaries adults 18-49 rating was up a tenth to a 1.7 rating, again shaming Flashforward. It’s 2.6 rating for the CW target women 18-34 was the same as last week.
UPDATE: CW press release, courtesy of the Futon Critic.
The CW’s VAMPIRE DIARIES and SUPERNATURAL delivered the network’s best Thursday night since March in total viewers (3.14million) and best male 18-49 (1.2/4) since February, according to preliminary national live plus same day Nielsen ratings for Thursday, May 13, 2010.
Last night’s finale was THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ most-watched episode since February 11 with total viewers (3.48million) and best adult 18-49 (1.7/5) since February 4. VAMPIRE DIARIES won the time period in females 12-34 (2.6/9), female teens 12-17 (2.8/10) and ties for second in women 18-34 (2.6/9) and persons 12-34 (1.9/7). Compared to last week, VAMPIRE DIARIES grew by 5% in total viewers and 6% in adults 18-49.

Also, some exciting news from the show’s music supervisor, Chris Mollere, on Twitter last night.
We are working on an official Vampire Diaries soundtrack right now. Tentatively it’ll come out in October. I’ll keep ya’ll updated.
Good stuff! What songs do you think are essential on a Vampire Diaries soundtrack?
Speaking of music, you may have noticed that the version of “Bloodstream” by Stateless featured near the end of last night’s episode was dubbed a “TVD Mix.” This was definitely a new mix, unique to the show, and it’s not available for download as of this moment. But maybe we should get to banging some drums, yeah? (For what it’s worth, the original version is just as gorgeous.) Check out the complete Founder’s Day songlist.

Busy night, busier morning! Last night’s episode of Vampire Diaries, Isobel, held steady in the ratings (and then some!) with around 3.4 million viewers. Details from TV By the Numbers:
Is it still news when The Vampire Diaries beats Flash Forward in adults 18-49? This week it wasn’t even close, as Vampire Diaries 1.6 adults 18-49 rating (even vs. last week) towered over FF. It’s 2.6 rating for CW’s target women 18-34 was up two tenths from last week.
By the way, the CW had the Founder’s Day promo up before the East coast airing ended last night. It is extra-extended and extra-delicious. Check it out!

ISOBEL RETURNS TO MYSTIC FALLS – Isobel returns to town and stuns Alaric with her attitude and her demands that he arrange a meeting with Elena.

Isobel’s dangerous actions lead Stefan, Damon and Bonnie to step in and help Elena deal with the situation.

Little late with this, what with Amazon posting the episode so late yesterday, but how ’bout Vampire Diaries Thursday night? The ratings for Let the Right One In are much better than last week’s, to say the least. From the CW press release, courtesy of TV By the Numbers:
The CW’s freshman hit THE VAMPIRE DIARIES scored dramatic week-to-week gains, with increases of 26% in women 18-34 (2.4/8), 20% in adults 18-34 (1.8/6), 25% in women 18-49 (2.0/6), 23% in adults 18-49 (1.6/5), 33% in female teens (2.8/11) and 25% in total viewers (3.5 million), according to preliminary live plus same day Nielsen ratings for Thursday, April 8, 2010. THE VAMPIRE DIARIES posted its largest total audience since 2/11/10.
Competitively, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES won the 8:00-9:00p.m. hour among female teens, and tied for second among women 18-34.
Let’s be sure we keep up those figures for this Thursday’s episode, Under Control, yeah? (Watch the extended promo.) And if you’re looking for good Let the Right One In discussion, our forum’s bursting with it, so join in! And if you want to rate the episode, vote in our poll.

As a side note, the response to Let the Right One In has been tremendous across the board. Yesterday was the busiest day, traffic-wise, that this site has ever had, and the enthusiasm for Vampire Diaries seems to be at an all-time high. Only five episodes left in the season, guys – and we don’t think the show will disappoint. Let’s make every Thursday count through the May 13th finale.

Julie Plec is interviewed in Variety about social media and the rising profile of TV showrunners as celebrities. The article’s a great read and Plec in particular talks about the Vampire Diaries fandom, Twitter, and instant feedback.
“The whole TV and film industry is built on focus groups and test screenings,” Plec says. “In my opinion, watching a Twitter feed during an episode of our show is a built-in focus group. They react to everything — and it’s fascinating because (over time) you get to witness your fan community as it builds and grows.”
READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE AT VARIETY.
Last night’s ratings are in and There Goes the Neighborhood rounded up 2.8 million viewers according to TV By the Numbers. (We expect the DV-R ratings will knock that up quite a bit.)
For those of you who missed it in North America, you can watch it online:
USA: Download from Amazon for $1.99
(Yeah, Canadians, we don’t know why CTV doesn’t have the episode up yet – sorry. And UKers, it’s not up on iTunes yet either. Lame.)
And finally – Fancast ran this tidbit about the upcoming Vampire Diaries season one DVD earlier this week, (which we mentioned on Twitter and then didn’t blog because…well, see below the quote):
Hey Matt! We need some more ‘Vampire Diaries‘ scoop! – tvdfansonline via Twitter
I feel like the remainder of this season got sufficiently scooped at the recent Paley Center event, so instead I will share this about the freshman drama’s debut DVD set: As we speak, exec producers Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec and co-exec producer/director Marcos Siega are recording an audio commentary for the pilot, and there will be at least two featurettes. Look for Season 1 to hit stores in August.
The upside? Thanks to some clarification from the very nice people in Warner Bros.’ legal department on that non-disclosure agreement I signed, I’m allowed to say that I was interviewed for the special features back in early February. The downside? That’s all I’m allowed to say about the Vampire Diaries DVD set. I KNOW. Though I think they won’t get mad if I tell you that the featurettes mentioned above are quite cool and those putting the whole shebang together are very cool people. August seems so far away now but I think you guys will be more than happy when you’re holding that DVD set in your greedy mittens.

Around 3.3 million viewers tuned in to watch “A Few Good Men” last night. TV by the Numbers has more details:
Returning with new episodes, the CW’s Vampire Diaries scored a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating, that’s the same as its last new episode (2/11). Vampire Diaries was down 8% to a 2.2 rating in the CW target women 18-34 demo.
For those of you who missed it in North America & the UK, you can watch it online:
USA: Download from Amazon for $1.99
Canada: Watch the episode on the CTV website
UK: Download from iTunes for £1.89
Finally, SELF caught up with Katerina Graham to chat about Bonnie, the Vampire Diaries books and the supernatural:
Your character is one of the most powerful–no pun intended–on the show (sorry, Nina!). Tell us about Bonnie.
I love Bonnie because I like a character that evolves and grows and comes into her own. I love that she was really just kind of a quiet girl from the beginning who hung out with her gran and had the same best friends since the sandbox. She’s just a simple girl from a simple town, and she’s evolved. She’s strong and she is making her own decisions for herself, she’s not letting herself get steamrolled over. I love playing a strong female character. I’m all about that in my life, empowerment and feeling good about who you are and accepting who you are. I love that that parallels with Bonnie’s storyline of accepting that she’s a witch, accepting what she’s capable of, having the responsibility of that. I love playing someone like that that has conviction and passion. I’m all about that.

Last night’s awesome episode of the Vampire Diaries, “Fool Me Once”, racked up 3.55 million viewers. Honestly, we’re kind of surprised it wasn’t more, because website activity last night was rocking, with the poll attracting a lot of voters and the forums seeing a lot of action (the thread for “Fool Me Once” looks like it’s going to be our most active episode discussion thread yet!). Anyhow, 3.55 million is the number reported, and that’s still excellent. From TV by the Numbers:
CW’s Vampire Diaries was down a bit and saw lows with adults 18-49 and even with Women 18-34 it was on the low side (perhaps a series low with a 2.4 W18-34 rating).
Speaking of people viewing the episode, “Fool Me Once” is now available to watch online from the following sources:
Canadian Fans: Watch for free on CTV
USA Fans: Purchase from Amazon
UK Fans: Purchase from iTunes
The Hollywood Reporter has some new Vampire Diaries casting news. Stephen Martines (The Closer, The Guiding Light, General Hospital) will play a vampire by the name of Frederick who was one of the vampires in locked up in the tomb. Looks like he’s set to cause trouble in Mystic Falls, and we’re not sure that Alaric will take kindly to another guy in town going by the name of ‘Rick’. ;)
The CW have a nice new Vampire Diaries feature on their website, displaying how all the characters connect to each other. Click on the characters to find out more information, a long with a few video interviews with the actors talking about their characters. So far there are videos with Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder.
The Steven R. McQueen fans in the house are starting to get pretty vocal lately, so we’re sure they’ll all love Seventeen.com’s 17 Questions article, where you can find out about Steven’s first kiss, guilty pleasures, dream jobs, and how much cash he has in his wallet.
Finally, tomorrow is the final Hot Topic Cast Tour stop in Los Angeles. Sadly, wristbands for the signing are sold out but the Q&A is open to the public. So head on down to Westfield Topanga for 4pm to catch the cast and hang out with your fellow Vampire Diaries fans. We also suggest investing in some earplugs. The last two events were loud. ;)
