 Major Slippage

The ratings drop for Season 4 – Episode 2 is pretty bad.

There’s no way to spin the fact that, according to Nielsen, 117 only attracted 1.5 million people – that’s 22% fewer than last week and the lowest viewership since Season 2’s Raving pulled in 1.3 million.

Raving's lousy rating back in 2012 could be blamed on a network blackout for Direct TV customers. This time, there is no such outside interference to account for the lower number – the show is simply attracting a smaller audience in Season 4 than it did in all of Season 3.

Actually, to be fair, fewer people in the 18-49 demographic who also happen to report to Nielsen, report that they are watching the show upon first airing. It could be that Teen Wolf has moved from the “Must See” category to the “DVR and Watch Later” category for a lot of folks.

Currently, our audience share remains about even with what we saw overall in Season 3. That’s good – but things need to pick up for Muted next Monday or we may have to admit that the show’s popularity has already passed it peak.

 That’s a Wrap

There’s not been a Wrap Party yet – but for most of the Teen Wolf cast and crew – the filming of the Season 4 episodes is over.

They did a big 20 hour shoot Monday into Tuesday this week to finish up and the finale apparently leaves Tyler Posey flat on his back.

They managed to finish shooting 12 episodes in roughly 100 production days which is much quicker than we saw during Season 3.

The Teen Wolf production has been rolling almost non-stop for a year and a half. Seriously, they had a couple months off that one time but it’s been pretty much wall to wall work for those folks right up till this week.

As for getting back to work, they have several months before the cameras MUST start rolling again. Variety reports that Teen Wolf is getting $11.5 million from the State of California to help pay for Season 5 production. The money comes with a caveat that production on the season has to begin before the end of 2014.

 The Houston Con

Through my work here, I’ve come to realize that erbody has a con.

There are general genre cons and cons for specific shows popping up everywhere.

The latest to hit my radar is The Houston Con or, as I’ve come to think of it, “The Little Con that Could!”

Unfortunately, I became aware of Houston Con when they spammed Teen Wolf Wikia with advertisements. You can file that under "Ways NOT to do Media Relations."

Putting that aside for the mo, two of the newest Teen Wolfies will be guests of Houston Con – Mason Dye and Dylan Sprayberry will be on hand for the August event.

They’re not just there for being on Teen Wolf – Dylan was Young Clark Kent in the abomination that was Man of Steel and Mason’s turn in Flowers in the Attic helped get him the invite. Of course the Con is now playing up their werewolf connections in an effort to attract a bit of our rabid fandom.

If they really want to boost their Teen Wolf attendance, they should ask Michael Fjordbak and Holland Roden (both are from Texas) to come and put together a genuine panel for the show.

Houston Con starts on August 8 and you can get a “Teen Wolf VIP Package” (autographs, photo ops) for about $200 bucks – so it’s not as expensive as some of the stuff we’ve seen recently.
