I love the idea of a vampire sitcom! It sounds like a refreshing take on the genre, especially since there's been so much dark and brooding content lately. It's great to see a show like Eternally Yours leaning into comedy and fun, that could really set it apart from the typical vampire dramas we often get.

I'm curious about how they're planning to balance the supernatural elements with humor. Do you think the characters will be traditional vampires or will they play with the clichés and tropes? I'm always a fan of shows that take a different approach, like what What We Do in the Shadows did with its mockumentary style. What are you hoping to see from the characters or the storyline?

CBS has a good history with sitcoms so I trust them a bit more than other networks trying this kind of thing. Ghosts worked really well so maybe this can too. Just hope the writing stays sharp after season one.

Jesse marrying a mortal just so he does not have to commit forever is honestly hilarious. And now he is annoyed she is not aging fast enough. That is such a specific kind of problem only a vampire show could give us.

I am a little tired of shows using the family sitcom format for everything now. Vampires, ghosts, aliens, whatever, it all ends up looking the same after a while. I will still give it a try but my expectations are low.

I like the basic idea because it gives vampires a different problem than the usual killing and hunting. Charles and Liz being married for 500 years sounds like it could create a lot of funny situations without needing every joke to be about vampires. I especially like the idea that they cannot get divorced. Being annoyed with your spouse is one thing, but being annoyed for another 400 years is a completely different problem. I also think Emma dating a human gives the show an easy way to bring someone normal into the family. Max finding out that his girlfriend’s family is made up of vampires could be really funny if they handle his reactions well. I am curious to see how much of the show focuses on the family relationships instead of vampire jokes. The October premiere is going on my watch list.

The 500-year marriage is what sold me. I have seen plenty of vampire stories where immortality is treated as something mysterious or tragic. Making it a marriage problem is much more interesting to me. Charles and Liz probably know everything about each other after five centuries, including every annoying habit. There is also something funny about vampires having the same relationship arguments humans have. The difference is that they cannot escape each other through divorce. I can already imagine one of them saying, “We have discussed this for 300 years,” during an argument. Emma and Max could also be a good pairing because Max is basically the only normal person walking into this mess. I like sitcoms where one character is clearly thinking, “Why is everyone here acting like this is normal?” That seems to be his role. I will definitely give the first few episodes a chance.

The garlic joke where they call it an offensive stereotype made me laugh just reading it. If the actual show keeps that kind of humor it could be really good.

Emma dating a human while hiding a whole vampire family sounds like a solid comedy setup. Reminds me of those old shows where someone has to hide a big secret from their partner, except this one has an actual supernatural excuse behind it.

The part about the vampires complaining about human stereotypes made me laugh. I like when supernatural characters are not impressed by the things humans think are scary. Garlic being treated like an offensive stereotype instead of some terrifying weapon is a good example. It makes the vampire world feel like a normal family that happens to have some very unusual rules. The Council of Elders also sounds like it could become a good source of comedy if they are extremely serious about ridiculous vampire laws. I am also curious about the Seattle setting. A modern city seems like a good place for an immortal family trying to stay hidden. There are schools, jobs, neighbors, dating, and all the usual family problems. You can put vampires into all those situations and get comedy without constantly inventing new supernatural threats. That is probably what I want from this show.
