1987 WEREWOLF Fox Network TV Series

In 1987 I was 23 years old and was excited to see the new FOX Network while it was aborning. I was super happy that they would have a TV series about a WEREWOLF... Plot: The series follows Eric Cord, a graduate student who becomes a werewolf after being bitten by his roommate, who is also a werewolf. Eric embarks on a journey to find and kill the originator of his werewolf bloodline, Janos Skorzeny, in hopes of breaking the curse. Along the way, he is pursued by a determined bounty hunter, "Alamo" Joe Rogan. Later, Eric discovers Nicholas Remy is the true originator of the bloodline he must confront. Cast: The show starred John J. York as Eric Cord, Lance LeGault as "Alamo" Joe Rogan, and Chuck Connors (in his last television role) as Janos Skorzeny. Brian Thompson also later joined the cast as Nicholas Remy.

In 1987 I was 23 years old and I was super excited that there was a TV Series based on a WEREWOLF. The 1987 werewolf TV series was simply titled Werewolf, and it was one of the original shows on the brand-new Fox network. The series ran for a single season from July 1987 to May 1988, airing 29 episodes. Premise: The show followed the cursed college student Eric Cord (played by John J. York) who, after being bitten by his werewolf roommate, must find and kill the originator of his "bloodline" to break the curse. Format: The structure was similar to The Incredible Hulk or The Fugitive, with Eric Cord traveling from place to place, helping people in different towns, all while being pursued by a persistent bounty hunter named "Alamo" Joe Rogan (Lance LeGault). Main Antagonist: The initial target was Janos Skorzeny, the powerful and malevolent werewolf who infected Eric's friend, played by Chuck Connors in his final television role. Special Effects: The series was noted for its impressive practical special effects and werewolf make-up designed by the Oscar-winning artist Rick Baker. Cancellation: Despite critical acclaim for its special effects and engaging storyline, the show was canceled due to the high production costs associated with the special effects and music licensing, not poor ratings.
