We already have Jacob from Twilight, Alcide from True Blood and Tyler from The Vampire Diaries. It's as if they are still not enough for today's werewolf (and vampire)-filled age that MTV is now bringing us Scott, the Teen Wolf. (There's just something about very hairy men with teeth and claws as sharp as blades, no?) Check out the trailer of MTV's newest scripted drama below:
Teen Wolf is actually a remake of a 1987 fantasy comedy film starring Michael J. Fox. But MTV is venturing out from the original and takes on a much darker (and a much more TVD-like) version. I'm sure I'll check out the first couple of episodes since there's nothing much on right now. Although I'm always a little cautious when it comes to scripted shows from MTV. The network is not really known for quality series, but rather for its trashy guilty pleasures like Jersey Shore. (Remember when MTV played music videos?) And who wasn't turned off by their version of U.K.'s Skins?
So will you tune in? Or is Alcide enough of a werewolf for you this summer season? Teen Wolf premieres on June 5.

The Secret Circle [PREVIEW]
Check out this preview for the upcoming series The Secret Circle.
It's The Vampire Diaries 2.0, only now, we have a whole bunch of witches! This has got to be the new CW show that I'm most looking forward to. Why? Because it's from TVD producer Kevin Williamson. Plus, the series is also based on books written by L.J. Smith, the author of TVD. Judging by the awesomeness of The Vampire Diaries, I am expecting this new series to also blow my mind.
It stars Brittany Robertson (Life Unexpected), Thomas Dekker (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) and also Gale Harold!

About that TVD Finale...
SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t seen The Vampire Diaries’ season 2 finale, then do not continue reading this article. (Unless you want your TVD viewing experience ruined.)
Now, pick up your jaws from the floor and let’s talk about that final scene. I don’t know about you guys, but I was scratching my head a whole 5 minutes after watching the finale. The writers surely didn’t disappoint with the twists this season, but I wasn’t expecting to see Vicki and Anna again! This just goes to show that with a show like TVD, a character is never really safe (we’ll miss you Aunt Jenna), but also, a character is never totally gone.
Bonnie (or Emily) said that there will be consequences in bringing Jeremy back to life. So is this it? and what is actually happening to Jeremy? Are Vicki and Anna back for good? Are they simply hallucinations? What does this mean for Bonnie and Jeremy? Too many questions and we have to wait 5 more months for the answer.
But I’ve been thinking and I have a theory: What if bringing Jeremy back to life made him capable of seeing the dead?
This may be too simple an answer for a show like TVD and writers like Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson. But that’s the only explanation I can think of right now.
How about you guys? What do you think? Can Jeremy see the dead? Will Anna and Vicki be hindrances to Jeremy and Bonnie’s love story? Will we see Aunt Jenna again? Sound off below!
Happy Watching!

TV You Should be Watching but Aren't #1
Yes, it’s that time of the year again when we have to suffer enjoy 5 months of hiatus from our favorite TV dramas and 5 months of reality summer TV. Now that no new episodes of The Vampire Diaries or Community will be shown ‘til forever, how about marathon some quality series? Catch up on these shows-you-should-be-watching-but-aren’t before Fall TV 2011 starts in September/October.
First on the Couch Patatas’ list: The Good Wife
The Good Wife has been a hit in the U.S. but I think it still hasn’t caught on here in the Philippines.
Background: The series focuses on Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies), whose husband Peter Florrick (Chris Noth), a former Cook County state’s attorney, has been jailed following a very public sex and corruption scandal. Alicia returns to her old job as a litigator (after taking years out to be a mother) in order to provide for her two children.

Source: wikipedia.orgWhy you should watch it: Great actors. Great writers. Great plot. Seriously, every one of the regular and recurring characters in the series are interesting and authentic. Margulies and Panjabi (Kalinda) are both AWESOME in their respective roles. (Panjabi won an Emmy and Margulies a Golden Globe!) Plus, even though the show’s a procedural, the writers make sure we don’t just see the same old formula we see in other law or cop shows. It’s drama, comedy and procedural all rolled into one legendary show. Also, watch out for Eli (Alan Cumming) and some major plot twists in the 2nd season! (which ends May 17).
