Anybody remember this fairly enjoyable series from 1987? WEREWOLF was one of the first shows to be shown on the fledgling FOX channel, and it had some pretty effective tranformations and wolf-outs for the day (and I tend to think it still holds up). Here is a little description:
The show revolved around Eric Cord (John J. York), a college student whose life was changed forever one night when his best friend Ted revealed to him something unbelievable. Ted told Eric that he was a werewolf.
Eric didn't want to believe it was true, until later that night when the pentagram on Ted's palm began to bleed and he saw his friend transform into a werewolf. Eric had no choice but to shoot and kill his friend, but not before Ted would injure him and pass the curse on to Eric.
The only way for Eric to rid himself of the curse was to kill the wolf that served as the original bloodline. The trail would lead Eric to Janos Skorzeny (Chuck Connors), a one-eyed captain that Ted worked with. The evil Skorzeny was a werewolf like Eric, and the two fought violently under a full moon before Skorzeny managed to get away.
While Eric went after Skorzeny, he was also on the run from "Alamo Joe" Rogan (Lance LeGault), a maverick bounty hunter who pursued Eric for jumping bail for Ted's murder. Rogan also knew about Eric being a werewolf, although he didn't know the circumstances involved. As Eric traveled across the country, he crossed paths with other werewolves and dealt with various situations along the way. All the while, Eric tried to deal with his curse and what it was doing to his sanity.
