The Vampire Diaries is based on a series of books and is certainly going to do everything it can to grab that Twilight fanbase, even if it's based on different books. In this show, two brother vampires (one good, one not so much) both have feelings for the same girl.
The CW also has a couple of shows waiting in the wings for midseason, including Parental Discretion Advised, which is about a teen looking for her biological parents. It stars Britt Robertson, Kristoffer Polaha, and Shiri Appleby
It's hard to imagine The CW airing any ratings blockbusters this fall, but the pairings of shows they have do make sense. I'm not sure where a comedy would fit into the schedule, and The CW hasn't had great success with them, but it does seem odd to not have any airing. We'll all see in a few months whether the plan holds up.

sigh, very sad about Reaper, but not unexpected, as we discussed
