    Not only is it really well thought out, but the good-looking kids in the show can actually act.

    It may also turn out that "Twilight" and "The Vampire Diaries" and their kin have satisfied the target audiences for these wistfully romantic bedtime fantasies. But if there's room for one more, Teen Wolf could be it.

    The very special scheduling is one of several ways the network has been signaling that it means serious business with this light and passably witty supernatural drama.

    Yes, boys and girls, Teen Wolf has more to say than "Jersey Shore."

    Excellent show. The acting is good and the plot is interesting. A good show to watch in the summer. This is one of the few shows I have been watching right now and I am surprised that it is a good quality suspenseful show. Expand
  2. I mean literally the first Mtv show that isn't reality (Real World), unrealisticlly scripted (Skins), dumb (Jersey Shore), honestly Mtv even though I think Mtv is the best channel on TV they really never had very interesting SHOWS. Finally Teen Wolf offers something different I would call this the Vampire Diaries of Mtv. It will never be cancelled like Vampire Diaries. Great fans, good storylines, great acting especially from the bad guys and Alyson. I would definintly recommend this. especially if your a guy. Expand
  3. Competently acted but eminently predictable. It may survive if it attracts enough teenage boys. This show could be rescued by some innovative story writing. Sad to say, I think the hunters have this one in the cross hairs. Expand
  4. I can't even remember any of their names, thats how dull this was. Best character on the show was the teen wolfs love interest father hunter guy (the one who looked like Ben Folds lol). The worst had to be the teen wolfs best friend/comedic relief guy. Even though I will never watch another episode I'm still kinda hoping he dies, by the older hunter guy. And I bet that would be a hell of a lot more interesting than what they have in store for this show. Kudos for them showing some awesome gore bits tho. That was probably the best part. Thats why they get a 3 lol. Expand
