1987 WEREWOLF Fox Network TV Premiere Episode

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.
Werewolf is an American horror series, and one of the original shows in the Fox network's broadcast line-up during its inaugural season of 1987–1988.
The show follows the adventures of Eric Cord (John J. York), a college student transformed into a werewolf who undergoes a quest to rid himself of his curse by killing the apparent originator of his "bloodline," a drifter named Janos Skorzeny (the character's name is a reference to the name of the vampire in the classic TV film The Night Stalker) played by Chuck Connors (in his last television role). While pursuing Skorzeny, Cord himself is pursued by the persistent bounty hunter "Alamo" Joe Rogan (Lance LeGault). Later, Cord hunts Nicholas Remy (Brian Thompson), the real originator of the bloodline.
The show aired a two-hour pilot and 28 half-hour episodes before being canceled in 1988.
