    Big Wolf

    I can't believe how cool this show is. The characters are so well developed, and the acting is good. Tommy and Merton (which I think it'd be a cool dude to hang out with) are the main characters of the show always getting in trouble with evil creatures. This show often portrays some trivia about horror movies, or about werewolves, vampires, and other creatures. The jokes aren't that bad, and every episode is hilarious.

    Recommended!!! This big wolf absolutely rocks!

    Big Wolf on Campus: A Howling Good Time

    I absolutely loved this show! Tommy, typical jock, gets turned into a werewolf and befriends gothic Merton. Together they deal with a great spectrum of baddies ranging from a cat girl to a swamp monster, to the Buffy-spoof, Muffy the Werewolf Slayer. This show had so much going for it not just because of the great characters and cheesy monsters, but because it was just so darn funny. Every episode Merton and Tommy would exchange dialogue that played along these lines: Merton-"This is just like in [insert movie here]!" Tommy-"What happened?" Merton-"[Dialogue about career/box office/non-related movie talk]." Tommy-"No, what happened in the movie!" It happened a lot, yet it never got old. Other interesting parts include the TV-addicted older brother, Dean, Merton's hearst, and Merton's angry little sister Becky. Oh, please, ABC Family, lose the Olsen-palooza and take back Big Wolf on Campus!

    The Best Show Around

    "Big Wolf On Campus" is one of the best shows that I have seen in a long time. Not only are the actors great, but every episode of the show is great, too. It has a certain quality about it- it intermixes the horrors of high school life and the "fun" stuff that you really want to see on television. I've never seen one episode of the series that made me cringe, like some of the other "teen" shows that are out there. The show has a great humorous quality to it that really makes the show what it is. Besides of the humour, the actors also make you love the show. Every single actor makes their role come alive and they all bring a lot to the show. This show is especially one of the best on the air because it really is a "family" show. People of every age can get enjoyment out of it. I guarantee that if you watch this show you will love it and fall in love with the characters themselves.

    The 90s were a great time

    As a kid in the 90s, you'd come home from school, watch Goosebumps, Are You Afraid Of The Dark?, Kenan N' Kel or Power Rangers (to lighten the mood), then Big Wolf On Campus. Followed by WCW Nitro and maybe Clash Of The Titans on TCM for the 30th time (did TCM have contractual obligations to show that movie every week?)

    None of what I said above is a joke or exaggeration. Life was just That good back then, and I look back fondly at the great memories of Brandon Quinn and Danny Smith tackling cheesy monsters every episode.

    Wolf bite in the right direction!

    Ah! I have good memories for this one. I really enjoyed it's comedic touch mixed with adventure. Our main characters are really likable ; specially the two best friends. The winning formula of having the stud beings friends with the geek works again.

    The situations were really funny and entertaining and a little touch of Horror didn't harm.

    The direction, cinematography, and art direction are great for a low budgeter from Canada. I really don't understand why this show was canceled after three seasons.

    I hope it will get a DVD release soon. I'd say it's a tender, naive Horror/Comedy show.

    Enjoy!

    • Trivia
      The sudden change in the werewolf makeup during the first season was due to actor Brandon Quinn's allergic reaction to the original makeup.
    • Goofs
      Throughout out the series, it's clear that the actors/actresses portraying teenagers are actually in their 20s+. This is done as to not interfere with the schooling of real teenagers and to give the general viewing audience who are teenagers themselves someone they can look up too.

      Mr. Geiger: Very good. And now?

      Merton: Bat.

      Mr. Geiger: And?

      Merton: Bat... bat... A lonely boy, failing to please his demanding father at every turn.

      Mr. Geiger: Wait, that one's upside-down.
