Pilot Scoop: The CW Orders Quirky Medical Drama From Gilmore Girls Producer

TVD is aimed at a younger female audience. If you move into adult dramas, you’re moving into an audience that cares less about the steamy passion of it all and starts to wonder about the murder and rapes that Elana’s love interests commit on a fairly regular basis. Now, you could say that it’s not just for teenagers and also isn’t supposed to be thought about too much, and I guess that’s valid. But I think that the target demo is still the younger female audience.
It’s not like Supernatural, which targets a (more male) slightly older audience.

People always talk about how quickly TVD goes through storylines. I don’t really know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. They tell stories at a fast pace. But at the same time, there are issues like the fact that a teenage girl is trying to decide between dating the murderer/rapist or the guy who literally rips his victims apart. By hurrying through those storylines, none of the death or murders carry any weight. Jenna died, leaving Jeremy as Elana’s only family, and there don’t seem to be many ripples or lasting emotions about that. Hell, Caroline might hook up with the guy who did it and people the audience is cheering!

But I suppose all of that is another topic, not really about demographics.

I find Rachel Bilson to be the week link in Hart of Dixie. The rest of the character are interesting and likeable. Bilson is not. I wish they had cast someone else in that role. I feel like RB is very polarizing and you love her or hate her and it’s hard to get past the dislike.
