USA Today’s Robert Bianco picked The Vampire Diaries as #9 on his list of top 10 new fall shows:

Chances are, your first inclination is to think of Vampire Diaries as a rip-off of True Blood and Twilight — even though the book it’s based on predates both. But beneath the gothic trappings, Vampire (produced by Dawson’s Creek‘s Kevin Williamson) is just CW doing what it does: building a teen soap around the complicated lives of impossibly pretty, alarmingly worldly young people who manage to seem prosperous even with no visible means of support.

Er – okay? Can we hope it’s more than that? Read the entire article.

TV Guide conducted a research survey to determine which new fall shows were most anticipated by viewers. The Vampire Diaries was #5.

And CTV is pulling out the stops for the debut of Vampire Diaries on the Canadian broadcast network. From their release:

As a new moon rises on the fall television season, CTV presents one of the year’s most-anticipated new dramas – THE VAMPIRE DIARIES – premiering Thursday, September 10 in a special 8 p.m. ET timeslot on CTV (visit CTV.ca to confirm local broadcast times). To get viewers in the mood, Canadians will be the first to see this deliciously dark drama series when CTV.ca presents an exclusive sneak peak from the first episode, premiering online at the stroke of midnight on Wednesday, September 9 (11:59:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Sept. 8). Adding to the buzz, CTV.ca also presents a four-part Webisode series exploring the mythology of the new drama, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: A DARKER TRUTH, also premiering at 12 midnight Sept. 9. Based on the best-selling book series of the same name by L. J. Smith, this biting drama stars Canadian actress Nina Dobrev as Elena, a young girl who becomes the object of desire for two vampire siblings

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES will also be available on demand on The CTV Video Player at CTV.ca the day following the broadcast and on MuchMusic Fridays at 8 p.m. ET beginning September 11.
