21-08-2019 • 47 mins

Jess and Chris begin their monthly journey into the weird world of single seasons TV shows with the pilot episode of 1987's Werewolf, one of the shows that aired during FOX's inaugural season.

The show, created by industry stalwart Frank Lupo, centers on Eric Cord, played by John J. York, as he hunts down the progenitor of the werewolf curse he's become afflicted with. That only problem is that the leader of the bloodline is the unhinged Janos Skorzeny, played with scene-chewing aplomb in his final screen role by Chuck Connors. The show has hints of The Fugitive and The Incredible Hulk along with the supernatural elements of The Night Stalker.

On this episode of the One Season Show, Jess and Chris begin their journey into Werewolf in earnest with a look at episodes two through eight some of which include werewolf obsessed professors, a German wolf hunter, and two bottle episodes with Eric Cord stuck on a boat.
