TV Previews

At the end of last night's Vampire Diaries episode, fans got their first look at "The Originals," both the title of next week's episode and the CW's likely spinoff.

Next Thursday night, the much-anticipated backdoor pilot will take viewers to New Orleans, where Klaus (Joseph Morgan) has some special ties.

We'll meet his former protege, Marcel, who has apparently created a Utopia for supernatural beings, a reality that seems to throw Klaus for a loop.

His Vampire Diaries siblings/cohorts Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and Rebecca (Claire Holt) are also on board for the new show, should it get the green light.

Watch the preview for The Originals now and see what you think:

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE TRUE BLOOD SEASON PREMIERE?

We're about to find out what happened before Carrie Bradshaw met Mr. Big or bought her first pair of Manolo Blahniks.

The Carrie Diaries will premiere this January on The CW. The series finds newcomer AnnaSophia Robb following in the very expensive footsteps of Sarah Jessica Parker, chronicling the life of Carrie in the 1980s, as a confused, insecure high school student in New York.

She's never even had sex when we first meet this Carrie! And she isn't living in the city, either! Watch the first extended preview now for The Carrie Diaries and then vote below:

WILL YOU WATCH THE CARRIE DIARIES?

What is Roman after? How does Sookie fit into his plans? Who is Sookie about to make out with in the following new, extended trailer?!? Watch now for new footage.

The Vampire Diaries returns TONIGHT on the CW.

Calling her an idiot for holding out hope for Stefan, he reveals what his brother has been up to in the months since we last saw the Mystic Falls characters ...

Hey, at least a drama on NBC is receiving attention.

Multiple women's groups are taking issue with that network's The Playboy Club, a new series that premieres on September 19 and focuses on the exclusive, 1960s-based establishment in the title.

The Playboy Club Promo

The San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women, for example, urges NBC and its affiliates to "replace the program with a series that depicts women's substantive achievements," as President Kay Gulbengay says it's an "insult to the legacy" of civil rights leaders to air The Playboy Club (while admitting she hasn't watched it).

Gloria Steinham has also pushed for a boycott of the program, while the NBC affiliate in Salt Lake City refuses to air it.

What do you think? Is The Playboy Club an affront to women?

Sarah is coming! Sarah is coming! Sarah is coming!

On tonight's all-new episode of the Bad Girls Club, Shelley is a bit excited because her girlfriend is coming to town. Priscilla and Tasha make fun of their roommate a bit, but the reunion is actually pretty sweet.

Ding dong, the wicked witch was almost dead on True Blood last night.

But Marnie survived a machine gun shooting, sort of, concluding the penultimate episode of season four by swooping into Lafayette's body. Ah, the dangerous, confusing, messy life of a medium.

Elsewhere, Alcide killed his packmaster; Jason admitted to feelings for Jessica; and Eric sucked the blood from a witch's heart. How will the season come to an end? Check out the following promo for "And When I Die" now:
