CW to pair new Vampire Diaries with Supernatural on Thursday?

[fangirl_says]

The Hollywood Reporter is saying the CW plans to air new drama Vampire Diaries on Thursdays at 8 p.m., betting on the established sci-fi audience that are already accustomed to tuning in then. (Please note that THR does not name its source for this information, so for now it's just a rumor.) The article seems to say Smallville would not be coming back, but I've also heard it's headed for Friday night.

What do y'all think? Personally, I think it's an excellent idea. Smallville has been fading fast, and it's certainly not doing Supernatural any favors. I'd watch Vampire Diaries anyway, and putting it on Thursdays would make it all the more convenient. CW, if this is true, I approve.

Edit: There's a promo pic of Vampire Diaries here -- you may have to go a few pages in for the VD pic.

IAN!!! OMG!!! *hyperventilates*

I'll watch.

And yeah, I tend to agree -- it's a good lead-in for SPN, and hopefully the placement (if true) will do both shows a favor.

Ya, Smallville is moving to Friday to die, and the CW has realized that the Supernatural audience is mostly women, but will they watch VD? Got to love the acronym!

Personally, the show doesn't sound like my cup of tea, and the premise is very limited, but it won't hurt Supernatural in any way, so to each their own.

What a great 1-2 punch!
