The Vampire Diaries

The Vampire Diaries, Julie Plec, Caroline Dries, and Kevin Williamson produced and ran it. It is based on the popular book series of the same title. The show is about several vampires and their accounts on adventures.

Why It's Awesome

 * 1) It's better than Angel or Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
 * 2) It does vampires well and when it was airing vampires weren't as overused.
 * 3) The characters are great and fabulous.
 * 4) The writing is good and if not better than Firefly.
 * 5) Nina Dobrev and everyone else performed their roles well.
 * 6) It has 8 seasons of goodness, and it probably almost got a ninth season (though that can be debatable).
 * 7) While it can seem too long for some viewers, it can seem enough time for others.
 * 8) It has tons of creative plot-lines and characters.
 * 9) The cast loved working with each other and so the character interactions were well produced from the grand cooperation from the cast.
 * 10) The music they play fits the themes.
 * 11) The titles of each episode are very clever and thought-provoking.

"Bad" Part

 * 1) Many characters are very unlikable, and Damon doesn't seem to get punished for the awful things he has done.
