    Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

    I viewed this show I believe in year 5 or year 6 at that point I was infatuated with Buffy the vampire slayer (and i still am)So at first I thought this show was like Buffy it was grown up and not silly but it was it was based on a high school jock who becomes a werewolf and becomes friends with the school nerd his older brother is a slob who actually comes in good use.I watched the whole of 1st season bits of 2nd season and couple of episodes of the 3rd season.I loved Merton his references to Buffy the vampire slayer the episode with the vampires (i think it was fangs for the memories.

    After working on "Sweet Valley High" and "Breaker High", I suppose "Werewolf High" seemed like the next logical step for writers Peter Knight and Chris Briggs ...Tommy Dawkins (Brandon Quinn) is your typical high school jock -- popular, dumb and care-free ... that is, until he is out camping one night and is bitten by a werewolf. Thanks to his infliction he is forced to befriend nerdy goth outcast Merton J Dingle (Danny Smith), and together they work to conceal his lycanthropy and battle whatever evil forces set sights on the town of Pleasantville. As awkward as teenage years always are, Tommy finds that it is even more so when you're a werewolf -- especially since he wolfs out every time he gets close to Stacey Hanson (Rachelle Lefevre), the girl of his dreams. Later, Stacey is transfered to another school and Tommy sets his sights on the new girl, kick-boxing Buffy-wannabe Lori Baxter (Aimée Castle).I caught a couple of episodes of this series when it was on, and it seemed like a pretty silly show that was aimed primarily at the teenybopper crowd. I was attracted to it at the time because obviously it featured werewolves and also it had strong similarities to Buffy, which I enjoyed. In the end I was put off by the silly WWF-style fight scenes, and the slapstick humour didn't really appeal to me all that much. However, when I watched the episodes back-to-back recently I began to really enjoy it. Many of the jokes are silly, but I'll admit it does manage to make me chuckle quite frequently. The constant movie references score particularly highly with me. The characters themselves are quite amusing ... Tommy really is an idiot, and Danny Smith who plays Merton J Dingle has become a kind of cult icon. Together the two of them form an interesting comic team.It turns out there actually is an awful lot to enjoy here, especially if you happen to catch the series on a good day. At it's worst the show is like a kid's version of Buffy without the same level of atmosphere or wit (although it does seem to be conscious of this, throwing in direct references to the show). One problem is that the comic actors and guest stars often aren't particularly restrained, they're out there in full-on "I will make you laugh" mode which can come off more annoying than amusing. But hell, there are certainly worse things you could be watching.If you're looking for an interesting, dark and brilliant werewolf series, check out Frank Lupo's Werewolf. But if you're just after an entertaining, amusing and diverting version of "Teen Wolf", then this is the best there is.

    I stumbled across this little gem while surfing - I have enjoyed pretty much every episode. I'm 33 yrs old - love these types of shows - teenage high school comedy stuff... Every episode starts out with something happening to Tommy (Werewolf), Martin, or one of their family member, the middle of the show is them trying to figure it out, and every episode has a cool fight scene at the end.I enjoy the humor, acting, characters etc. I was only a little surprised to see Stacy dissappear so suddenly but then again... I havn't seen every episode yet and Ami Castle is a cuttie :).To be young again! :)Great show - too bad it only lasted 3 seasons...

    Its not as bad as you think more and more great stuff is coming from canada but to add to the roster is big wolf on campus. A show about the two most likely people in real life to never become friends are your average Jock (Tommy)and your typical anti-social Goth kid (Merton). Aside from one person leaving the cast has remained great the acting funny and the scripts cool. This is like Buffy but with more males and one Ass kicking chick Lauire who gives the word girl and whle new meaning. All in all this is a great show and i'm side to see it go. This show is on its 3rd year it wasn't going to make it but the company got some many petitions from fan sites on the net(ithere's like a billion of them)and the show is finishing it lasts season and going out with a bang. If your into the whole Buffy, Angel, X files thing then this is the show for you.
