Maybe you’re not sure how it’ll measure up to favorites like Twilight or True Blood. Well we’ve got a look at what the critics think:

GREAT: The New York Post’s Linda Stasi gives The Vampire Diaries 4 stars, citing the bloody action scenes. “These killers are more fun than a cemetery full of psycho zombie killers on Halloween.”

GOOD: Entertainment Weekly critic Ken Tucker rates the show a solid B+, and especially likes the  “snappy dialogue and quirky pop cult references.”

OKAY: Glenn Garvin at the Miami Herald can’t shake off the stunning similarity to a certain vampire blockbuster, but admits, “No, it’s not Twilight — but it’s not bad, either.”

YUCK: TV Guide’s Matt Roush would rather be buried alive than sit through another episode: “It’s not that The Vampire Diaries is a truly terrible show. It’s just so insipid and uninspired.”

So what did YOU think about The CW’s venture into vampire territory? Did it live up to your expectations? Or is this one vampire show you’d wish would stay dead?

For example, the nation is currently teeming with Twilight addicts who know everything about the series, have pictures of Robert Pattinson all over their rooms, and wish that they were vampires! The idea of the “crazy fan” may seem silly and over the top…

…but that said, crazy fans make great television and pay a big role in promoting entertainment.

When the crazy fan following exists, you know there is a demand for the product. TRL was all about hooking up crazy fans. We actually devoted most of last summer to finding the biggest fans of artists such as Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and the Jonas Brothers and we hooked these fans up with cool prizes and opportunities. It made for great television: MTV viewers enjoyed watching the extremes that people would go to be honored with the “number one fan” title.

The artists loved it too because they got to interact with their most devoted fans. Our Taylor Swift winner actually got to go on the set of one of her music videos! If you are a crazy fan, check out the contests you can get involved in. There could be some really fun opportunities out there that you would be perfect for!

On InstantCast you can play fantasy casting contests and show your fan enthusiasm! Click here to enter contests now and prove you’re a devoted fan!
