Keep in mind, everybody here is chatting because we like(d) the show. So this is not a general hatedom of people looking to blast the show for no reason. Just to make that clear up front.

However, the writing qualiity has gone down, the number of plot holes has gone up and attention to continuity has been virtually abandoned! Do NOT accuse my examples of being bad ones because they were "copycats". SO. IS. TEEN. WOLF!

Or did you miss the irony of claiming originality for a TV remake of an 80's film and it's subsequent franchise? How about the fact that it was coming in after Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood and even (God help us all) Big Wolf On Campus! Don't be hypocritical and pretend that Jeff was exploring never-before-tested waters here! The supernatural drama genre is crowded to say the very least!

Hence, viewers have every right to do compare-and-contrast, as well as to question the quality of the show, whether it is living up to our expectations or whether it is experiencing decline. When showrunners become too disconnected from their audiences then they are in trouble. Television is not a medium created for the personal gratification of creators, it is for the audience. Audiences today now use the internet where they used to use fan mail. But the principle is no different.

Teen Wolf has quality problems. Bad ones. Jeff has a problem with respecting his audience, which is even worse. While he may not like reading criticism, it is important that he do so. Because the sentiment behind the criticism will not be going away. Probably everyone here started off liking this show. Now we are getting twitchy because we are losing that. S4 does not appear to be a magnet for new viewers, nor does it appear to be retaining existing fans. This not good news!
