Because it was

The only good vampire-based show that I've found has been
Forever Knight. I think that one was quite good on all levels.
Buffy/
Angel are obvious ones, but they're really more "super-teen" shows, with
Angel being the "super-college-student" version.
Vampires on film are kind of hard to portray in ways other than
Blade,
From Dusk Till Dawn and the like. If you want to use a vampire as something other than the monster of the film, then you have to take a damn lot of time to set up who/what/where/why the vampire is. Books do this very well, but movies simply don't have enough time for this.
Cassidy from the comic
Preacher is a nice one to check out.
Last Blood is a webcomic that was recently picked up for a movie; the general plot is that the world has been destroyed by zombies within the past month, and the last humans are being protected by vampires. The new version of
Salem's Lot seemed quite good. There are a few rarer ones out there;
Blood & Doughnuts is worth watching if you ever get a chance.
