User blog:Porterfield/Finale Scores Series High Ratings

Code Breaker, the Teen Wolf Season 1 finale, was the highest rated of the twelve episodes with 2.1 million viewers. It was also number one in its timeslot of any show on television for both teenagers and females ages 12-34. Developing Teen Wolf for this timeslot was a wise move by MTV, who since last summer have now doubled their viewership on Mondays at 10pm. The show averaged 1.7 million viewers per episode, making it the network's most successful new program since Jersey Shore was first introduced.

The finale likely attracted the most viewers because of the riveting war between hunters and werewolves. Furthermore, as MTV shows go, Scott was not only required to help prevent the killings, but also win back Allison. What's better than a good old-fashioned hunters vs. werewolves battle with a romantic twist? Too Twilight-esque?

Anyway, with ratings like this, it's a no-brainer that MTV will be bringing back Teen Wolf in 2012 for another twelve episode run.
