    A jock turned werewolf, a Gothic ally and comedian, and a kick boxing female. For three seasons Big Wolf made the audience smile with its jokes and characters. It was a personal favorite of mine as a child, but was under appreciated by many. hide show

    Big Wolf on campus was a great show. It always made me smile and it still does to this day. Unfortunately, the episodes don't flow with one another besides a few simple facts or returning characters, but it still was a amazing show to watch.

    I think that the 65 episodes was a great way to end the series and give it is bow with the finale and talks with the cast. this show had movie references and no matter how many times Tommy would ask "What happened in the Movie?" and Merton would discuss the rating and opinions instead of the plot, you had to smile. Danny Smith "Merton", probably my favorite character and GREAT actor who really became the funny goth kid and loyal friend. His lines were genius and made me laugh or smile. Few actors today really show a dedication to a character like he did. Each villain had its own spin to the original. Sure, they were very easily defeated with little complications, but it still kept you watching,kept you wanting more.

    Overall, Great show especially for younger kids, but it can be watched and loved by anyone. Its charm seeps into you and you can't help but say that it was a really good show.

    A Canadian Supernatural comedy hide show

    I remember my sister and I used to watch this show. Fortunately I never really understood the jokes until I re-watched the episodes online. Tommy Dawkins whose the star quarterback of Pleasantville High, does live in the city named after the movie. It's quite quirky, but in a good way. I think Merton is one of my favorite characters in the series. He'd always make pop culture references, even at times when it doesn't seem relevant. This show could last longer if it hadn't been for Disney purchasing the then Fox Family (at least that's what I've heard). As the show goes on, some of the characters either get axed or that they appear less and less. Overall great show.

    5.7 Mediocre

    Nice, but not that as it should be. hide show

    Growing up as a kid there were always those couple shows that we really love but get discarded for bigger long lasting shows. One of these shows was big wolf on campus. Its a simple story: guy turned werewolf, fights evil. But it is so well written and they are always funny. I love that show and if they never come out with the seasons on DVD, i will be sad but then again there is always www.youtube.com Anyway this show has been one to remember. All the characters are really fun and interesting to listen to. The villains are very well thought out and are also fun to watch. Its not a ten because it is not the perfect show and it was cut down in its prime, but i can live with that. Good show a must watch.

    i dont remeber much about thi show, other than the fact that i liked it! hide show

    they dont even play re-runs anymore! i used to watch this show faithfully, and i was really dissaponted when the cancel it, even though i cant have been much older than 10 years old at the time. i only remember two of the charcters, unfortunatley, and both thier names escape me at the moment. i jst remember the episode where the main character's best friend was like taken by these spider women who wnated to eat him, and they made him really fat and the wolf guy had to save him.

    good times, and a good show, they should start showing reruns somewhere.

    One of my favorites from the 90s hide show

    When I first started watching this show I thought it was very interesting. I was sad when someone told me it was going off the air. This show had great characters, amazing story lines, and it was just really fun to watch.

    One of my favorite episodes is when butch comes out of the movie in season one. Merton was my favorite character in the show. He was very original and then goths were not as big as they are now. Tommy was a typical jock but it seemed he got dumber as the series went on.

    I didn't really like stacy's character that much and liked it when Lori took her place. She was a much easier character to like.
