 The New Ratings Norm

The numbers for I. E. D. were down from the week before but still above the historic lows we saw with episodes 2 and 3.

An estimated 1.6 million people watched the initial broadcast on Monday. That’s a 6% drop week over week. The share of the 18-49 demo tuned in dropped to 0.70 – which is about average for what’s going on this season.

This may be the new normal in ratings for the show. We can all speculate (and many are in the Forum Section) about why this happens.

Are people tuning out because of the direction of the show? Is it because favorite characters left?

I guess we could do a survey to find out what people say - but if you look at similar shows it seems this is just one of those things that happen to TV shows after several seasons.

TVD dropped -15.4% in audience and -18.2% in demo share between seasons 4 and 5.

PLL is, so far, off -10% in audience and -7.8% in demo share in its 5th season.

Teen Wolf is slightly further along into the new season than PLL and season to season we’re -12.4% in audience and -10.9% in demo share.

This may just be the new normal for an aging wolf.

 Why we Wait

A number of visitors to the site attempted to change the names of some of our character pages after Monday’s episode.

I understand the urge but it is our policy to wait until we get “in show” confirmation before making substantive changes to articles.

This policy, as it relates to names, originated between Season 1 and 2.

This is a shot of Wikipedia’s Teen Wolf Cast page during that period.



Wikipedia kept this bad information up for months even though the character, at that point, had no first name. Jeff had not yet given her one and in the end (several weeks later) the actor named her own character Victoria Argent.

When the second season began and her name was revealed – we had dozens of users tell us we were wrong because, to them, her name was “Helena.”

We didn't follow Wikipedia on that and we won’t follow them, or any other outside sources, this time either. We will wait until we know the information we print is accurate.

 Where’s Danny? Somebody Knows.

Two great opportunities to find out the fate of Keahu Kahuanui’s Danny are coming up this week. Both Jeff Davis and Keahu will be answering questions at Comic Con in San Diego.

We’d like to know if he’s just not coming back or if his character’s absence is part of the mystery of the season.

Somebody ask, video tape the asking, and post the results online where we can see it and link to it please.


 * Jeff will be doing the Teen Wolf Panel in Ballroom 20 between 3:30 PM and 4:30 PM on Thursday, July 24th.


 * Keahu will be at booth 3745 from 1pm-5pm on Saturday, July 26th.

If you’re lucky enough to be there, please consider doing this one little thing for the rest of us.
