Werewolf: the series

[Tommy]

Does anyone remember "Werewolf: the series?"  I can't quite remember when the series aired, probably in the late 80's to early 90's.  Anyhow, the show was about a guy who gets bitten by his best friend and becomes a werewolf at moon night.  He's searching for the ring leader so as to end the blood line.

"Werewolf" is very similar to the "Incredible Hulk" series in that both heroes travel the country as loners, get mixed up in problems and turn into their respective monsters to deal with the situation.  Werewolf turns exactly twice every show, just like the Hulk.  Hmm... I wonder if the shows were produced by the same people?

Does anyone know what happens to Eric Chord (aka the werewolf) in the series?  Fill me in if you remember...

Yeah, I remember this series and enjoyed it at the time.  I was pretty impressed with the level of gore for TV.

Chuck Connors was the ring leader (and very effective as such, according to the reviews) but I never watched it.

Didn't have a TV then.

Yes, he was good.  There was a part where he literally torn his own face off as part of the werewolf transformation that was quite effective as I recall.

July 1987 to May 1988, 32 episodes.

My memory is a little sketchy since I haven't seen it in over a decade, but I believe he finally finds and kill Connors only to learn that he wasn't the start of the werewolf bloodline. In other words, he's still cursed and has to keep looking. They probably intended that as a season finale, but unfortunately the show was cancelled.

I couldn't find a complete episode guide for it. but I did find a partial one on a site called WerewolfTV. Unfortunately it's offline right now (I was looking at Google's cached pages) and there's no description for the last episode, Amazing Grace. Keep checking it though, they might put it back online and finish the guide.

One thing I never get...  If you can control yourself as a werewolf, why the HELL would you want to stop yourself from being one?

 Because in most of the movies/shows the person CAN'T control themselves as a werewolf and they're afraid that they're going to kill someone close to them.
