I have to say I love the Vampire Diaries more as a show than True Blood, although it’s the opposite for the books.

I love both The Vampire Diaries and True Blood, but The Vampire Diaries is definitely my favorite.

Definitely Vampire Diaries. While I watch a number of shows, this one of very few that I have to see immediately once it airs.
at 12:01 pm
I definitely like True Blood more.

I love The Vampire Diaries so much! and I also love True Blood, I started watching about two weeks ago and completely fell in love with it! I just guess I’m a vampire freak!

True Blood didn’t really interest me last season. The Vampire Diaries is my new favorite.

I love both shows, but The Vampire Diaries is definitely my favorite.

Both shows are wonderful guilty pleasures but I am slightly more addicted to True Blood. My favorite vampires on True Blood have to be Eric and Jessica. I mean come on how can you not like a Viking vampire. He’s blondie bear 2.0. And Baby Vamp Jessica can balance both sweetness and horror all in a second.
On Vampire diaries, I totally heart Damon’s wacky vampire ways. Bad boys, can’t live with them because they’re undead.
