TV executives and makers of pirated merchandise are eagerly awaiting the latest fad to reach hormonally charged teenagers: werewolves.
“Vampires on television shows are so last year,” said one television executive who annoyingly barked and growled throughout the interview. “Werewolves are much sexier than vamps. Think about it: they do it doggy style, which everyone loves, they have lots of hair, big teeth — so much more to offer than vampires with girly hair dating in high school.”
The success of television shows, such as Vampire Diaries, has prompted network executives to seek out the next big thing. This season ABC plans to air the Beverley Hills 9021-growl, in which a group of werewolves form a debating team and have to propose an argument for gun control while constantly fighting the urge to chase cars and fetch the teacher’s slippers.

The Sleestak Chronicles, currently showing in Japan, follows a group of teenage Sleestaks as they navigate the awkward phase of dealing with grown-up issues all the while succeeding in their mission to kill humans.
The show, currently just below Japan’s top-rated game show Pain! Pain! Pain!, has already spawned a music group that moves very slowly on stage to Belgian trance music.
The Sleestak show is so successful teenage girls in Japan have flocked to marry lizards.
