Entertainment Weekly calls The Vampire Diaries “a fresh spin on vampires with compellingly spooky storylines and a smoldering cast.” It would seem that many CW viewers agree as it’s one of the network’s top shows.
The story centers around Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), who returns to Mystic Falls High School after her parents’ tragic deaths. On the first day, she meets and soon falls for the mysterious new kid, Stefan (Paul Wesley). What she doesn’t know is that he’s a vampire who’s over a century old. She happens to be a miraculous double for the beautiful young woman who Stefan and his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder) both loved over 150 years ago. Things become further complicated when Damon shows up to wreak havoc on the town and pursue Elena for himself. Others in the cast include Steven R. McQueen, Sara Canning, Katerina Graham, Candice Accola, Zach Roerig, Kayla Ewell, and Michael Trevino.
The first season of The Vampire Diaries has been released on DVD and includes all 22 episodes on five DVDs. The set also includes over eight hours of special features including: behind-the-scenes featurettes, a commentary track, unaired scenes, webisodes, a gag reel, and a downloadable audiobook of the best-selling novel The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening by L. J. Smith.

I rented the season 1 dvds to keep me busy between new episodes.. still hoping to win this set to add to my personal collection 🙂
I’ll never understand why Jeremy had it so bad for Vickie in hindsight..
Fantastic show!
What other show can you find on television that has snappy dialogue, amazing twists/turns, excellent action, and firey special effects? I would say THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. This show has everything and I hope it lasts for many years to come.
I prefer shows or movies over books. The things that make books great are also what makes me not like them. We all get to use our on imagination about books. Read it and really interpret it alone.
With a show or movie something you can really see and knowing that many others see the same thing. While it can be interpreted differently there is also the room for more discussion and ultimately someone will be found to be right or wrong. (Especially in the case of future couples)
Finale was the best episode last season!
Love this show!
Pick Me Pick Me 🙂
The books were good, but the show is great! I’m really enjoying the second season so far…
I was really not sure I would be able to get into this show at first. I had read all the books years ago and loved them. When I realized they were’nt following the book storyline, or even all the characters I was really disappointed. After watching the show, I have to say I have changed my mind 100%. While I still love the books, the show has quickly become one of my favorites. The actors are great!! The storyline, while different, is really addicting. Can’t wait to see the next episode!!!!
Cant wait for this weeks episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was wary of this show at first, but it quickly grew on me. It has its cheesy moments, but Ian Somerhalder just steals the show as Damon.
This is the best show ever! I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next! I would also like to say Damon, who is played by Ian Somerhalder, is a very incredible actor! Keep up the great work!! 🙂
Like this show- it is so different from the books!
Bonnie is my least favorite. Based on her boring personality not her actions. I can understand the actions but why does she feel so entitled like she is the queen of everything because she can do a little magic
I think they should have gone with a male witch. No one ever sees a male witch coming
I enjoyed this show more than I thought I would. Always fresh, with great scripting and acting. I would love to add this DVD set to my collection. Thank you!
