VAMPIRE DIARIES was one of the buzz-worthiest shows from it's first episode!

So, once Labor Day has passed, the 2010-2011 will kick off with the CW premiering new shows right out of the gate. So I took a little time to throw together five great moments from the last TV season. Now, there are a few I wanted to post but the clips either weren’t on YouTube or Hulu or the clips I found were not of good enough quality to post (or maybe they just aren’t legal either!).  So, let me know if there are other bits you thought deserve mentioning.

In no particular order, the five best moments of last TV season:

GLEE: While I think the scene where Kurt’s dad (played beautifully by Mike O’Malley) defends his gay son (Chris Colfer) to Finn (Cory Monteith) is the single best scene of the show’s first season, I couldn’t find a good clip of it online so, instead, here is a close runner-up, the Sue Sylvester version of Madonna’s Vogue.

Vampire Diaries :  I like to think that as a writer about and for television, I can usually guess pretty closely where a story is going. However, series creators Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec actually WOW’d me with the final moments from the first season finale. As things wind down, there’s a surprise smooch that you think is the WOW moment but then there’s an even bigger surprise that nobody could not have seen coming (because they masterfully had put it out of your mind a few episodes earlier).  I mean, I still am awestruck when I think about how Elena takes that knife and…then she reveals that, well, maybe she’s really…oh, just watch the fantastic clip!  (And be warned, it’s a bit graphic and bloody so not for the faint at heart though I did put the longer clip in so you could get a bit of hunky Ian Somerhalder.  You can thank me later)

September 1, 2010

@NBCDays @shawnc4real  If there’s one thing about soap fans, they are LOYAL and PASSIONATE about their show, their characters and, of course, the actors who portray them.
