This couldn't possibly be better and/or worse.

Once again, summer means no new TV and no new TV means I blog very little. But alas...here's a preview for the upcoming CW show The Vampire Diaries, by Kevin Williamson (of Dawson's Creek and Scream fame, and of Hidden Palms infamy):



So after that I am super excited about this show. Not because it looks good in any possible sense of the word. It basically looks like a crappy story with crappy actors (excepting Ian Somerhalder) and Kevin Williamson's famously inane dialogue. Nor because it appears to be in any way an original take on the vampire genre, the high school genre, or the high school vampire genre, because it basically looks like Twilight for TV. I'm excited because of how amazingly bad it has the potential to be. This is a show about vampires in high school by Kevin Williamson! In my wildest dreams it will be like combining The Covenant and Hidden Palms. Meaning so incredibly horribly bad that it is both hilarious and freakishly engaging. I can only hope that the cancellation of Privileged allows for the cast addition of Michael Cassidy as the exact character he was playing in Hidden Palms for no reason whatsoever. Come to think of it, I'd be pretty pleased with appearances by Taylor Handley as well. And maybe some Amber Heard and her infuriatingly slow blinking. Sadly, I'm sure the version of the show I'm crafting in my head is way more entertaining than what will actually be produced. Regardless, I can't wait.
