True Blood vs Vampire Diaries

I'm neither old nor a female and much less a virgin yet I enjoy TB quite a lot. VD bores me to death. TB is funny as hell and raw...

Hell was it funny when Sam Merlot shifted back to human form inside of that vampire lady. LOL. Laughed for hours.

You sound like an old female virgin.

You like a show where a gay old vamp and a gay pastor vamp bang each other.

VD > TB

I love both shows, but there is way too much gay shit in True Blood.

I'm not prejudiced against gay people. To me all that gay stuff, the sex, nakedness and bizzaredness is just funny as hell. Sookie's brother hooking up with every woman in town. The sheriff banging and impregnating a Fairy... It's all funny as hell. Sam Merlot shapeshifting inside a vampire and making her explode all over the place funny as hell.
VD just can't compete... VD it's all about pretty people pretending to be monsters/witches/ skinny girl and shirtless guys showing their six-packs.

"VD it's all about pretty people pretending to be monsters/witches"

😐

" shirtless guys showing their six-packs"

Like the werewolf guy never wearing a shirt, or Eric?

There is more story and violence per episode in VD than TB has. TB has a weak incoherent story, with some nudity and momentary spurts of action. It's like they forget they need to have something actually happen until the season finale, and then they kill off their best characters.

What are you talking about? They do have a lot of things happening but the storyline revolve more around the characters than events. It WAS about Tara adapting to her new life as a vampire. Bill downward spiral into the handlings of the vampiric authority and Salome's machinations. Russell edington's antics and his pursuit by both Bill and Eric. TB is a drama not an action show... They don't have a freak of the week that is vanquished at the end of each episode... TB is not trying to copy Buffy, Angel and Supernatural the way VD is doing it.

And I love the fact TB is not afraid of killing a character once it has fulfilled its porpose.

You are truly hopeless. Tara is an awful character that they had no idea what to do with so just just turned her into a vampire hoping people would get interested. Bill's downward spiral that came out of nowhere for no reason, again, to get people interested in a character that lost interest. Russell was one of the more intriguing characters, and they didn't know what to do with him so they killed him off; this isn't GoT where you don't know who will die next because the story takes so many twists, this is a poorly written show that desperately tries to catch people's attention with w/e gimmick they can. TB is a drama with action, that's what is was when it started, that's what it still tries to be; just like VD is a drama with action, it just does it better. However, you think VD is trying to copy Buffy, Angel, and Supernatural, which shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

Dude... the biggest problem with True Blood is that it doesn't kill anyone off. Tara. Jason. Sam. Terry. Andy. Lafayette. Ect. Ect. Ect. There are SO MANY USELESS ANCILLARY CHARACTERS ON THE SHOW! A large cast of character is fine, lots of other shows deal with that... but those shows are created competently, so we don't see every. single. character in every. single. episode. True Blood wastes so much time with useless side stories that go no where and that no one cares about, that they never get around to resolving the story people actually want to see. Terry is cursed by a demon! Lafayette is possessed by Mexican demon thing! Racist hillbillies killed Sam's friends! Andy knocked up a fairy. Hoyt... is all sad and emo. Tara is vampire and she's sad... plus she's a lesbian. Alcide isn't the pack leader... he's sad and his dad is burnt out. Arrgh, awful. A dozen different useless story threads and were mostly resolved in the season... that had no consequence on the actually story. The show is a mess.

Vampire Dairies is infinitely better.

There's no point in discussing a show that you've never even watched...how is VD like Buffy and Angel?

But they're all funny and entertainning people. VD's characters only saving grace is that they're pretty... That's it. The stories are boring and predictable. Buffy and Angel knock offs. ECW teeny bopper crap.

They are neither funny nor entertaining... the only half way funny character on True Blood is Pam. The worst character on VD is Tyler... TB has like 18 Tyler's and they all get screen time in every episode, where as Tyler shows up once in a full moon.

Also... boring and predictable? True Blood is about as subtle as a brick to the side of the face, it is one of the most predictable shows on television.... and boring? If the first two seasons of VD took place on TB, it would take them twenty seasons to tell the same story. Vampire Dairies, is exciting and fast paced, they hit their story points, and move on to something new while TB drags it's belly across the gravel like a bloated zombie corpse.

Honestly, it's the height of hilarity that CW's "teeny bopper crap" manages to be more daring, engaging and most of all better written then a show on HBO. Hell outside of pointless nudity and self indulgent sex scenes, Vampire Dairies is even more violent and graphic. The only thing True Blood has over Vampire Dairies is a slightly less stupid name.

Have you even seen Vampire Dairies? Because this sounds like the stuff my friends used to say until I forced them to watch the first season. It starts of slow, but once you are four or five episodes in you should see that you have the show completely wrong.

Just to be clear both Buffy and Angel are also better than TB.

This isn't "Both shows are good, but I like one better," situation. True Blood isn't good. It's bad. It's a terrible, terrible show. All the criteria that one would use to objectively determine whether a show is good or not... is terrible on True Blood.

You both have a crappy taste on TV shows that's all.
VD is exciting to teenage girls. LOL.

TB is exciting to middle aged virgin women.

Still waiting on how VD is like Buffy and Angel.
