Sick and tired of time period changes in so many shows. Bye bye vampire diaries!

Love the show can’t go without ît lol
renew, the originals.
This series ended on 4 season
I love vampire diaries…..i just hope it doesn’t get cancelled. I thought get its way better then season 6. Please keep this show in the air.
No i think this season has been a hot mess which is why a lot of fans stopped watching and it has nothing to do with elana being gone the show seems like they just threw together a bunch of stories and hoped for the best. The pairings this season are boring not sure what was worst steoline or ric/caroline/baby story that was more creepy then good. Damon continuing to obsess over elana is getting old as is stefan sacrificing everything for damon then Damon wanting to save stefan hasn’t changed since season 1. I think this show has gone… Read more »
Really? judging by the ratings, the series gradually rolls down due to lack of plot and normal pairs, which in this series no. Nina made the right choice that left the series.
But Originals very interesting series, much better TVD.
tvd started it’s decline around s3 s4. I went from counting the hours and minutes until I could watch the next episode to now often forgetting to pvr it. When I do watch it now it’s not the same show at all. I definitely think it should be wrapped up.
TVD and TO final ratings for the last 2 episodes + the unrounded numbers for the eps that don´t have those

A couple hadn’t been added for some reason but the rest were already there. In any case, thanks for the note.
Crazy the originals have finally tied TVD this is not looking good for TVD
I for one have been watching Vampire Diaries from day 1…I like the fact that it takes my mind off reality for an hour!!!I’m 46 married with kids…I also tape it every week just in case!! There is not one show any better than VD as far as supernatural goes…other than Teen Wolf….I love all the characters and there role in telling the stories so of course I was gonna tune into the Originals!!! I DO HATE THE Friday night slots…it is so weird not watching them on Thursdays!!! So please keep VD and the originals on let’s keep it… Read more »
I’m surprised its still on the air. This season has been almost painful to watch. Maybe a half season if they need it to wrap things up but even Buffy called it quits after 7 seasons. They had a good run but I think its time to end it.
U.S Million of viewers are you watching vampire diaries on tv
I want season 8!
+T.J:I know you do but the show has been on since 2009 we have to let it go at some point. And the cast seem to be getting bored of the show they are older than the age of the characters they play.
So? Old shows are the best. Supernatural has been on since 2005 and it’s renewed for season 12..
I want a season 8!
KEEEEEP TVD AND TO ALIVE
Both TVD and TO scored DOWN! Now if only one or both are cancelled then I’ll have what I WANT!
And what is it you want, sweetheart?
That’s for me to know and you to find out..lol…
+Kay:TVD might be ending it depends on the cast and if the writers can think of more ideas or not for epsoides but I would be surprised if TVD even continued it has been on since 2009 and it’s been about as long as supernatural. And TO is guareented a 4th season since they ordered a full 3rd season. Plus the TVD cast seems to be getting bored of the show plus it would be hard to think of more ideas to do for TVD when the writers also have to think of ideas for TO at the same time.… Read more »
