This time of year, there are so many new shows premiering, and old favorites returning, and only one of me to write about them all, that I have to do some triage. For the most part, I try to write about every new show at least once, but with some, I either don't have the time to do it, the heart, or both. With "The Vampire Diaries," it was definitely both, so go read Fienberg's review if you're interested. He was a bit kinder than I would have been (the unintentional comedy wasn't funny enough for me), but for the most part, we're in agreement.
