A Busy Monday on MTV

With the summer finale of Teen Wolf earlier this week, MTV is ready to start up more teenage fun.  But unlike Teen Wolf and Scream, where the kiddies are bait for bad things, the shows starting up next week are facing the normal high school woes.  

For instance, Awkward is back on Monday (August 31)  for its final season.  If you are still a fan of the show, then you may want to know whether Jenna and Matty seal the deal. 

Of course, the second part of season two of Faking It is also premiering the same night.  If so, maybe you are interested instead in the fate of Karma and Liam, or Karma and Amy, or Amy and...  Okay, given the supermoon tonight, maybe the gang from Teen Wolf can visit  Hester High School in Austin, Texas, and put an end to this madness. 

Update:  TV.com had a good article praising Faking It.  I agree it is the better of the two at this point.  The article noted: 

To some, watching people make mistakes and stumble into the circumstances portrayed on Faking It may be viewed as predictable, but to others it's a welcome reprieve from the dramatics that have shaped so many teen-oriented series since Dawson's Creek attempted to portray its leads as hyper-articulate and intuitive, even more so than their actual adult counterparts, while still falling prey to their teenage hormones...To take that one step further, it's downright refreshing to watch a series focused on teens that doesn't have a gimmick or doesn't rely on out-of-this world circumstances and saving loved ones and/or the world from yet another supernatural threat. 


That said, I still like the werewolves.
