The CW's VAMPIRE DIARIES is Broadcast TV's #1 Social Series for Week of 1/21

For the first time, The CW's hit drama series The Vampire Diaries (Thursdays 8/7c) - from Warner Bros. Television - has topped Trendrr's list of the most social primetime TV series on broadcast television, ranking as network TV's #1 social program during the week of January 21-27.

The Vampire Diaries fans threw a #TVDparty throughout social media last week, generating nearly 865,000 social interactions across Twitter, Facebook, GetGlue and Viggle according to Trendrr.TV, taking a bite out of former list topper American Idol and besting iconic hits such as The Simpsons, Family Guy and Glee.
