The Vampire Diaries: 1.02 "The Night of the Comet"
I nursed my vampire overdose by reading another vampire YA novel. This time it was Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. Apart from being sick of the word "vampire" showing up in these titles, I've found another gripe:

So I just started watching this. I'm not entirely feeling it. The acting is okay, but the dialogue is bad, bad, bad. I might be on another vampire kick, but I'm not fully committed yet ( ... )

I can't remember when it picks up, but I did enjoy Seasons 1 & 2 very much. Yeah, the first couple of episodes are rough. (According to my other recaps, Episode 6 is where it started to pick up for me and I accepted the show for what it was.) Once ~The Originals~ get introduced (Season 3, I believe) (and it becomes all about them), I lost so much interest and didn't finish out Season 4, and have dropped the show.
It may be hard to enjoy the show, though, if you don't care about the male vampires, as it's a CW show, so they pander a lot to the female audience with the male eye candy. But, on the whole, Seasons 1 & 2 had a lot of twist and turns and moved at a pretty rapid pace. If you can eek it out, I'd say stay with it for the first 3 Seasons. After that, you're on your own.
