CW brings Thursday back to life with death


When CW moved Smallville to Fridays it left Thursday a dead zone. But that was before Vampire Diaries and Nikita rolled into town. How to revive a dead zone? Turn it into a killing field.

The Vampire Diaries season premiere was filled with fighting, underage drinking, death threats, stabbings, neck snapping and even smothering someone with a pillow. Were your kids in bed? I sure hope so.

The Nikita series premiere opened with a botched robbery and a security guard getting blown away followed by a large hairy man getting his neck snapped at a pool party along with his bodyguard taking a knife to the chest...but that part was just a dream sequence... I think. None the less, there were more shootings, explosions, cuttings, death threats and general chaos for another hour.

After a look around the other networks' schedules, CW appears to have a lock in the violence department on Thursdays. Both shows kept my attention to where I didn't answer my phone. I was told that there was a football game last night. Who knew?

When it first started, I thought Vampire Diaries would be a stupid teenager type show - but was I wrong! I love it! I had something to do last night so I recorded it but had to watch the season premier before I went to bed.
