The CW added VAMPIRE DIARIES book adaptation to their fall schedule, among two other new scripted series, according to THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER.
VAMPIRE DIARIES, aimed to tap into the TWILIGHT phenomenon, is based on the Alloy Ent. series of young adult books about a girl in a love triangle with two vampire brothers.
CBS also announced their fall schedule on Wednesday, officially picking up NBC's discarded MEDIUM and adding NCIS: LOS ANGELES to their lineup, among others.
The CBS 2009-2010 schedule (per COMINGSOON.net):
On Mondays at 8:00 PM, the critically acclaimed ensemble comedy HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER opens the night and serves as a strong lead-in for the new comedy ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE at 8:30 PM. From 9:00-10:00 PM, television's top comedy TWO AND A HALF MEN and the genius comedy THE BIG BANG THEORY form a power comedy hour.
