 Here They Go Again

A couple of shots were fired at this site and me specifically this week.

Yeah, um… bullsh*t!

I’ve written about and promoted STEREK related issues extensively on this site since 2012 (when we started doing regular news updates) and there is only one example where one could say I was less than kind to followers of the ship.

In that instance, I was unsympathetic but no one in their right mind would consider it an attack. I’m happy to defend my STEREK reporting and you’ll find links to every single related post I’ve ever written on the subject in the STEREK Reports section below.

 Teen TV Ratings Drop Continues

It would seem my detractors are actually sour because I refuse to give disgruntled fans all the credit for Teen Wolf’s Season 4 ratings drop.

That bit about crapping on folks who criticize the show is a laugh since this site was the first and, for a while, the only place where the poor ratings information was reported regularly. We also reported extensively about the timeline issues and how poorly the network treated STEREK fans at Comic-Con. We are critical of Teen Wolf on a regular basis.

As to making excuses for the ratings – I was asked my opinion and gave it. I was then challenged on that opinion and pointed out the weakness in the arguments against. My willingness to support my own opinion in the face of vitriolic opposition cannot be portrayed as an attack. Did disgruntled fans cause some of the Season 4 ratings drop? Yes.

Did they cause it all? No.

How do I know? Because the ratings drop among similar shows continues this season. It is endemic.


 * Sleepy Hollow | Season 2
 * -31.54% (18-49) -33.53% (Total Viewers)


 * Marvel’s AOS | Season 2
 * -27.50% (18-49) -28.40% (Total Viewers)


 * The Originals | Season 2
 * -25.93% (18-49) -33.84% (Total Viewers)


 * TVD | Season 6
 * -15.84% (18-49) -22.00% (Total Viewers)


 * Arrow | Season 3
 * -1.10% (18-49) -2.02% (Total Viewers)

We saw two shows buck the trend.


 * Supernatural | Season 10
 * +1.01% (18-49) +2.10% (Total Viewers)


 * OUAT | Season 4
 * +38.64% (18-49) +25.11% (Total Viewers)

These are partial season ratings for all – so we expect some fluctuation – but you can’t deny the trend. Or, I guess, you can deny it and I’ll point out that you’re wrong and then you can do an anonymous post on tumblr saying I was mean to you.

Bottom line, the ratings system is flawed and folks aren’t living their lives around the TV Guide anymore. They can watch all these shows anytime they want and that fundamental change in viewing habits is hitting Teen Wolf-like shows hard.

 MTV Exploits Posey’s Heartbreak

What was your first reaction to the news that Tyler Posey and Seana Gorlick ended their relationship?

Apparently the first reaction over at MTV was, “How can we exploit this for website hits?”

Within hours of US Weekly publishing Tyler’s quotes about the break-up, MTV was out with this piece of lowest-common-denominator trash.

It’s a nothing article about how people reacted on twitter to the news. There is nothing new here about the situation – it’s just an excuse to jump on a media bandwagon and exploit Posey’s heartbreak.

I know media outlets do this sort of thing all the time – it’s just, Tyler is supposed to be part of the MTV family. He’s done a lot for the network. Though he’s been paid handsomely for his efforts, you would think they would show him a bit of respect.

I was pleased to see that Teen Wolf’s official twitter DID NOT promote the story – somebody in that part of the building apparently has home training.
