Q: I was watching the MTV show "Teen Wolf" and saw that Jeff Davis credited as the writer. Is that the same Jeff Davis who writes for "Criminal Minds"? The shows seem so different.
He doesn't just write those shows, Jeff Davis created them.
"Criminal Minds" is a hugely popular and successful show, but one thing you can't really call it is "fun." That's what makes it so different from Davis's next creation, the also-popular, successful series "Teen Wolf."
While "Criminal Minds" is one of the bleakest, most sober shows on the dial, "Teen Wolf" is a teen-centric comedy-thriller based on a rather goofy '80s movie.
