Werewolves Are Back on Monday Night!

Season four of MTV's Teen Wolf starts tonight (June 23), and the Japaneses theme is over.  The new twist is Mexican, but the party is smaller with the death of a Allison and departure of Issac and the twins.  Its a scaled down show, but the crew is getting back one of its original characters from season one - Allison's aunt Kate.  You may remember Kate's nasty death, but that never really stopped anyone (does that also include Allison one of these days, I wonder?).  Take a look at this trailer to see what's in store for you tonight.

I like the Nerdist's spin on the series:

This series is the closest thing we’ve gotten to Buffy since the famed Whedon show ended in 2003. We already mentioned the tone, but what the series also does, much like the vampire drama, is build dynamic, three dimensional characters in a world that’s normally devoid of them.

I never thought of it that way, but this scrappy show has built a strong fan base on likeable characters in a very weird world.  It is not the dreary, snarky Vampire Diaries, or the off-the-tracks True Blood.  It goes back to regular friends in a screwed up world.  Let's hope we never get tired of the simple things in life (with a werewolf thrown in).
