John J. York plays young Eric Cord a guy whose friend, Teddy is a werewolf. Teddy bites him and now Eric carries the curse of being a werewolf. Cord thinks this is permanent but along the way he finds out a secret that might help become human.
Fox's "Werewolf" is probably one of the best short lived shows it has ever had. Take into consideration that Fox has countless sitcoms in the 80's "Second Chance", "Women in Prison" that have died and stayed dead.
"Werewolf" though still almost 20 yrs later has gathered a good following. It has a good plot, an ode to old horror movies, good scripts , a likable character and some unique situations.
Then again part of it does follow the old Incredible Hulk/David Banner routine. Wnen the main character gets mad, he turns into the monster, The monster then kills the bad guy. The hero awakens with very little "recollection" of what has happened. Yes pretty predictable.
Except you get further into the story and add a bounty hunter and other rival Werewolfs including Scorzeny (Chuck Connors) and you got a decent series.
Almost forgot to say the show features the werewolf makeup effects of horrow wiz Rick Baker. Good acting pretty much all around. This is John J. York's best work to date.
Really excellent. I am glad Columbia Tri-Star Pictures Television and Fox gave it a chance.
