Which is better: 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' or 'The Vampire Diaries'?
Vampire fanatics have long debated this. Is "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" not only the earlier, but far better show? Or.... Does 'The Vampire Diaries" surpass "Buffy"?
"Buffy" is the original. Before "The Vampire Diaries," "True Blood" and other supernatural shows, there was "Buffy" kicking ass.
Buffy broke down so many barriers for female action-horror icons. She's smart, sweet, beautiful, strong, independent, vulnerable and totally kicks your ass. She fulfills her destiny to fight vampires and demons with the help of her friends while also balancing student life and teen drama. Hence—Buffy helped introduce well-rounded heroines to TV. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is an iconic series that is still beloved today with books, comics, merchandise and the "Angel" series spin-off as part of the franchise.

"The Vampire Diaries" continued the vampire show legacy and took it further. It doesn't really copy "Buffy." It's in a lane of its own. The show chronicles two vampire brothers who are in love with the same girl and fight supernatural forces in the fictional town of Mystic Falls. The series has taken Vampire-romance to the next level while keeping its appeal to the teen-drama format. We are talking about lots of drama, romance, supernatural spooks and horror! Hence—the series has had a long run on the CW with eight seasons, one more than the seven seasons of "Buffy." "The Vampire Diaries" broke records with its ratings on the CW, and inspired the spin-off "The Originals."
Fans say "Buffy" slays over "The Vampire Diaries."
the vampire diaries ending on buffy's 20th anniversary is like poetic justice

Ok, stop comparing The Vampire Diaries to Buffy. Not saying it's not good, but it's like comparing bananas to the best meal you ever had.

Honestly how fitting that I will finally be free from the Vampire Diaries' clutches on the anniversary of the Buffy premiere.
