Tyler Posey

There's not a lot I miss about being a teen -- the zits, the homework, the torturous first dates -- but the TV is one thing I wish I'd never outgrown. There's very little of that verisimilitude that grown-up dramas suffer from. From the highly unlikely guardianship of Charlie Salinger to the seriously misguided dating rules of Joyce Summers, teen shows always have some elements of wish fulfillment. Parents are young, attractive or entirely absent. TV teen drama can't be dismissed as silly, the way real life teen drama can be -- its usually an apocalypse, a tragic accident or a mysterious disease, or sometimes all of the above.

'Teen Wolf,' the MTV series that only vaguely resembles the '80s Michael J. Fox movie of the same name, has all the hallmarks of a high school classic.

MTV kicked off their re-imagining of 'Teen Wolf' (Sun., 11PM ET on MTV) on a special night, after the '2011 MTV Movie Awards.'

The show shifts to its regular night and time with its second episode, on Monday, June 6 at 10PM ET. If you missed the premiere, you can watch it in its entirety on the show's website.

Considering how well the 'Twilight' franchise does at the annual 'MTV Movie Awards,' the network was smart in styling this new werewolf saga more after the heartthrobs and heartache of the movie series than the basketball shenanigans of the Michael J. Fox movie it gets its name from.

We know a new version of the Michael J. Fox '80s flick Teen Wolf is coming to MTV. Now we have some names for the cast as well as a glimpse of the premise.

Apparently, MTV has cast two guys named Tyler as both the central protagonist and antagonist. Tyler Posey plays the nerdy high schooler who gets bitten by a wolf and Tyler Hoechlin has been cast as his arch-nemesis, another werewolf. One can only wonder if this casting was done in hopes that they would be confused for Taylor Lautner, the werewolf in the latest Twilight movie.
