Keep and renew,
Please renew its the best show out there so far and I love the story line for this season what will happen to Elena is there really a cure for vamporism
Please renew Vampire Diaries!!! I Love It!!!
Keep Vampire Diaries. It is my 1 hour a week show that I never miss.
Cancel it’s just dragging on.
I liked the first three seasons of Vampire diaries, couldn’t wait for it to come back every fall, but ever since the four and so on, I feel they are just trying to prolong the series.
The Vampire Diaries should most definitely NOT be cancelled. It’s fourth season just started and already there’s talk of canceling it? Lame. If the Vampire Diaries did get cancelled I would boycott TV, and I’m sure many others would as well. SO DON’T CANCEL IT!
The vampire diaries show is the best show the CW has!! Keep the vampire diaries!! make the right decision and keep the viewers happy for once!
RENEWED FOR LIFE!!! Cancel American Next Top Model , that show is getting soooo boring. I’m getting sick of it. It’s been on too long on the CW Network
Renew
Vampire Diaries for fifth, season Sixth season , Seven season eight season ninth season tenth season Eleven season twelfth season Thirteen season fourteen season fifteen season sixteen season seventeen season eighteen season nineteen season twenty season
Renew
Hart Of Dixie
Beauty And The Best With No 13 episodes

RENEWED FOR LIFE!!Gossip Girls for a 7th Season and finishing the Gossip Girls series
90210
Nikita
No Watches And Cancellation for
American Next Top Model
Arrow that show is getting soooo boring. I’m getting sick of it cancel
Vampire Dairies and Gossip Girls are based On book series
So that means that Vampire Dairies an Gossip Girls will stay on the network for a longer time
The secret circle was based on books so I don’t think your theory always works.
The vampire diaries show is the best show the CW has!! Keep the vampire diaries!! make the right decision and keep the viewers happy for once!
RENEWED FOR LIFE!!! Cancell 90210 or something, that show is getting soooo boring. I’m getting sick of it. It’s been on too long. The Vampire Diaries on the other hand I could watch that all day!!!!!!!!!! TEAM DELENA!!!
Me too lol
The Vampire Diaries – waiting on pins and needles for every Thursday to watch! Putting the word out on Twitter and Facebook – watch LIVE and commercials are annoying but a must. Living and breathing The Vampire Diaries along with the best cast on TV.
I would seriously have the biggest fit if the Vampire Diaries gets cut off the CW it seriously the best show I’ve seen in a long time.
Vampire Diaries has a huge range of age groups from tweens to great gramas! It would be horrible for this show to be cancelled !! It is the Only show I watch in CW.
Pleas keep these Vampires on for a long time !!
Also I forgot to add, the show is the most subscribed by a big margin on youtube out of all the other shows and have you seen the views for some of the clips of the show? way into the millions!
I heard that Vampire Diaries is ‘renewed’ up to Season 6. They just announce a renew of the programme when needs to be (i.e once the season has finished and the network announces that they are renewing the show for another season when secretly it would have been renewed ages ago with many seasons to come!)
I think it would be absurd to renew 90210 or other programmes and have Vampire Diaries cancelled. The show already has built up a fan base and dedication to the show. With 13 million fans on Facebook and with Nina, Ian and Paul all having more than 1 million followers on Twitter and considering the amount of Teen Choice awards they win, this show is by far the most popular show on the network besides its ratings!
RENEWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Vampire Diaries should most definetly NOT be cancelled. It’s fourth season just started and already there’s talk of canceling it? Lame. If the Vampire Diaries did get cancelled I would boycott TV, and I’m sure many others would as well. SO DON’T CANCEL IT!
I really do feel that the Vampire Diaries needs to be renewed for a 5th Season, Too many good programs gets cancelled, and the CW network has a pretty bad track record for cancelling good show before their time. I think they are taking lessons from the now debunked WB. If the VD does get cancelled the CW Network should have enough respect for the fans to allow the show at least a finale Episode to finish the story, I really Friggin hate it when a show gets cancelled by a network and they don’t even allow the show to produce 1 TV movie to tie up any cliff hanger and loose ends, then cancelled the Secrete Circle, and it left with a cliff hanger, so why would anyone buy the DVD’s when you know there is no ending.
