Vampire High

I used to watch this show often before it was canceled and was thrilled when it began to play again on YTV. Now I stay up at 1:45 AM until 2:25 AM JUST to watch that show. I think I'm losing some major sleep because of this show O_o. Anyways, the story lines impressed me and something new always happens. I've always admired vampires for some reason and although the show doesn't follow all of the rules of vampire-ism, it's still an incredible show. One thing I wonder is if there's more episodes beyond the 26th one (The Vampire's Patient). If there isn't I certainly wish there were more. I'm so disappointed because of that. Oh yeah, one more thing: Drew is drop-dead GORGEOUS!

Vampire High has recently started showing on Sky One and I have been watching it since the first episode, ok that may only be three so far ( correct at time of press 23/07/01 ) but I think it is a good program. It's not quite "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" but it's got potential.

Okay, I'll admit it. I love this show. It can be pretty cheesy, but the acting is gradually getting better. Some of the storylines are fairly Buffyish, but I still enjoy it. There is always something new happening, except for the Drew and Sherry storyline, which is over...finally! I love Joris Jarsky (Marty) probably because he is good looking and from the same province and country I come from! Anyway, I recommend this show to anyone who enjoys vampires, excitement, and a little cheesiness.

I thought that it was one of the best vampire shows around when I first started watching it on YTV. And now that Space has picked it up, I actually bother to get up before noon every Sunday just to watch it. I really hope that, with new interest, someone might pick the series up again. Kinda like after the success of Hellsing in both the US and North America has given birth to the Hellsing OVA. It was so sad when the canceled it. But it was rather nice that they left it open just enough for it to be taken up again. Hopefully someone will pick it up. Hopefully someone will remember us fans. Or, at least, hopefully they will put it out on DVD. Please bring back Vampire High.

Vampire High ran on YTV in Canada and Sky 1 in the UK from 2001 to 2002. It aired in the USA on The WB in 2002. The series ran for one season (26 half-hour episodes).

As if ordinary teenagers weren't bad enough, the Mansbridge Academy boarding school has both human and vampire teenagers. The series centers on a group of "young" vampires participating in an experiment arranged by the vampire elders, with the intention of civilizing the vampires. In this program, Professor Murdoch is to teach the vampires how to live among and act like humans.

The humans and vampires at Mansbridge Academy face typical (and not so typical) troubles such as friendships, enemies, crushes, intense blood cravings, and vampire-human romance, and trying not to kill your human classmates.

This series is on the most basic level – fun. Don't expect highly developed characters or story lines from Vampire High. There are no profound lessons to be learned from it.

Take it at face value and enjoy the cheesy goodness that is teenage Canadian television.
