THURSDAY Ratings -- Early Results

Two shows premiered last night, both on The CW.  Vampire Diaries returned to a 1.4 Adult 18-49 rating, while Secret Circle debuted at almost the same level (1.3 rating).  Last year Vampire Diaries debuted with a 1.6 rating, and we'll need to wait until next week to see if the Vampire Diaries can defend its 1.4 rating against all-original competition on the large networks.  See the updated ratings chart below.
