Vampires continue to rule 2009.  HBO’s ‘True Blood’ season 2 opener had an average of 3.7 million viewers!!!!

According to HBO, they haven’t had that many viewers for any one episode since The Soprano’s  series finale 2 years ago!!!

Also, season 2 saw a 157% increase in viewers from last Septembers series premeire, and 51% more viewers then the Nov season 1 finale!!

Couple this with ‘The Vampire Diaries’ out this fall on The CW and ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ out 11/20…Vamps seem to have major staying power!!!
