Once the disconnect from the audience occurs, the show is doomed and the creator's "vision" is literally reduced to nothing more or less than fanfiction. A fantasy in their heads, or maybe some files on their computer and nothing more.

I have to laugh at you citing Glee as an example, if only because even at its nadir, it still pulls in roughly double what Teen Wolf did at its peak! Your artistic purist mentality does not speak highly of your business acumen. I think your numbers are a bit off -

Glee's Season Finale this year drew 1.9 million viewers.

The week that Teen Wolf's Season Finale pulled in 2.25 million - a new episode of Glee pulled in 2.84 million.

You also have to consider -

MTV reaches 85% of US households.

FOX reaches 97% of US households.

That's a difference of 20 million homes that don't even have the opportunity to watch MTV on television or be counted in the ratings.

The show may be doomed - but audience input isn't the way to save it (which was your original hypothesis).

There may be no way to save it - that remains to be seen - but asking you or any other fan what they SHOULD do would be like throwing rocks at a drowning baby. It wouldn't do any good and would probably kill the show quicker. Reposting since Graham apparently missed it - Jeff shouldn't listen to the fans.
