The entry titled "'Vampire Diaries' sinks its teeth into viewers."

By Dale Roe | Friday, September 11, 2009, 02:15 PM

The CW is justifiably proud of the ratings garnered by its premiere of “The Vampire Diaries” Thursday night. The show took off like a bat out of, well, you know. Setting a record for the most-watched CW premiere ever, the teen-based supernatural drama scored 4.84 million viewers, beating ABC and FOX.

The CW seems to have jumped on the vampire bandwagon at just the right time: anticipation is high for the second “Twilight” movie and ratings for HBO’s “True Blood” have exploded.

It will be interesting to see if the angsty love story can hold onto those viewers — the first episode played like “Twilight” lite (I’ve seen it referred to as “Dawson’s Creek” with fangs).

Did you watch “Vampire Diaries?” Will you tune in for further entries?
