This vampire thing could be getting to the point of oversaturation. Bram Stoker is to blame for inventing the concept. However, vampire fans and those that frequent Hot Topic can rejoice because the CW has ordered a full season of the freshman series The Vampire Diaries. This is opposed to the still-struggling revamp of Melrose Place which has only had five additional episodes requested of it.Between True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and the ever-immortal Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which I still count despite being long off the air), you'd think television has had enough of our fanged friends. Perhaps other series should start involving vampires in order to boost ratings.
I would certainly tune in if a group of vamps suddenly sucked dry the cast of Melrose Place (or 90210 or any of those melodramas). Glee is halfway there simply by having an episode directed by Joss Whedon. If reality shows could involve bloodsuckers, it would give new meaning to Hell's Kitchen.
