Hey, I Remember This Show: She-Wolf of London

I never saw this show on its first run through syndication but I caught up with it on DVD. It started out on a promising note but then the writers either lost interest or changed direction and what looked like good campy fun during the first few episodes slowly went downhill and became just campy.

It's a pity. For a while, this show came close to doing for werewolves what Buffy the Vampire Slayer did for vampires and I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out that Joss Whedon was inspired by an episode or two. Due to budget problems, the show later changed settings from England to the good old USA but that still did not improve matters. In fact, the American episodes include some of the worst stories of the series.



And this intro for the new "American" version did not help matters much.
