FANGFACE
This show was one of my favorites as a kid. It aired on ABC/1978-79. Sherman “Fangs” Fangsworth who’s a cowardly teenager turns into a werewolf (”Fangface”) when the moon is full. Along with his three teenage friends (Biff, Kim & Puggsy), he investigates mysteries and handles the day-to-day troubles that confront him in high school. The funny thing is, that if he sees even a picture of the sun as a werewolf, he would change back to Sherman. The show later added a baby cousin who was dubbed “Baby Fangs” aka FANGPUSS. The opening narrative went like this….
Narrator: Fangface! Every 400 years, a baby werewolf is born into the Fangsworth family. And so when the moon shined on little Sherman Fangsworth, he changed into Fangface, a werewolf. Only the sun can change him back to normal. And so little Fangs grew up and teamed up with three daring teenagers: Kim, Biff, and Pugsy. And together they find danger, excitement, and adventure. Who can save the day? Who can wrong the rights, and right the wrongs? None other than Fangface!
