And, yes, there are ways of screwing that up, but after the kanima did anyone *really* think "gosh, I guess that's all the supernatural creatures there are"?

The problem with True Blood's fantasy kitchen sink is that they tried to incorporate too many characters and spread themselves too thin. If you're going to do that kind of a world, you either need a Monster of the Week thing or you need to make sure to have a plot line that keeps the characters together so you're not like exploring the entire sink all at once. My only concern would be if Teen Wolf started doing, y'know, both. The werecoyote plot seemed sort of like a Monster of the Week thing (except that it was two weeks :P).

This sort of turned into a tangent, didn't it? Oops. It's isn't that I have a problem with multiple creatures. What I have a problem with is they didn't get a handle on on werewolves, of which the show is named, and the main and several other characters are before they moved into the next thing. There's too much stuff about this world's werewolve mythology and order that we don't know.

Completely agree with that. They've pushed to fast in to other mythologies with out fleshing out their man one. In true blood enough attention was giving to the vampires early on that while the show has its plot holes they usually don't envolve what makes a vampire a vampire. Teen wolf on the other hand has played very loose with their own cannon on werewolves that we still know very little about them and sometimes what we do know is re written episodes or a season later.
