It is a knock-off, but I wouldn't call it cheap. At first, I didn't have much faith in it. It's a drama show like 90210 but with death and vampires (and magic... and I guess werewolves now). It reminds me of Witch Hunter Robin. Too much talk and no action until the very end. But it's just slightly better because there is actually more action interspersed within the show. Plus, I find it easy to get sucked into the show because... cue revelation gong... I like Damon. He's a jerk, but he's cool. Given the recent episode showing that Tyler may be werre-y, I think I can cut him some slack though I used to hate him.
Buffy and Angel both branched off course and were not even remotely about vampires anymore. Suddenly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was Buffy the Monster Slayer and then Buffy the Demon Slayer and had her own army. Angel's only connection to the vampire theme is that he himself is a vampire. That whole Wolf Ram Hart thing. What?

The only way Buffy could ever been topped is if Joss Whedon was somehow involved with it.
Firefly/Serenity. Sure, it's not about vampires. But it tops Buffy, imo.
