imdb.com description:
The week before he returns to school for his senior year, popular High School jock Tommy Dawkins is bitten and turned into a werewolf. The only person Tommy Dawkins can turn to for help is the school nerd and Goth Fantasy Guild President Merton J Dingle. Now Tommy & Merton while still looking for a cure for Tommy's condition fight a whole slew of baddies in Pleasantville including Mummies, Vampires, 50's Bullies, Witches. In the Second Season they are joined by kickboxer Lori Baxter who had just transfered from Pleasantville Catholic. |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | | This show takes me back to my college years, when I fondly remember watching it on the Fox Family Channel in the late afternoons after my last class of the day. I'd love to see this show released on DVD. I believe that Fox Family Channel owns the distribution rights, but that may have been to release it to television. However, that network is ABC Family now. |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | | I just wanted to bring this one back to the forefront of people's minds again after 3 months. This was a great series that is quite popular with those who have voted for its release on DVD on the TVShowsOnDVD website. It's between 200-210 out of over 5,000 TV shows. There's obviously a fanbase & market for this former Fox Family (now ABC Family) show. Please, Shout! Factory! Get your hands on this one and release a couple season sets or a complete series set (65 eps). |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | Are there any other fans out there who would love to see this series make it to DVD? I believe with the popularity of films and TV shows about vampires, werewolves, etc., going on this year, I would love to have this series on DVD to experience again. A show that is a little more on the comedy-drama side than to the intensity of The Vampire Diaries. Please, Shout! |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | | I want to bring this thread back to the top since my last post on it four months ago. This was a great series that deserves a DVD release. Unreleased rank of this show on the TVShowsOnDVD website is good, showing a large interest by many fans. Plus, Brandon Quinn, who played lead character, Tommy Dawkins, in the series, appeared in a guest role in the first season of The Vampire Diaries. Please acquire and release this three season series! |

Member since: 5/11/2010 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | I'd buy it! The goofy sidekick (Merton?) was sometimes a bit over-the-top but he grew on me ... overall it was a fun show, and much-needed antidote to angsty supernatural shows (I'm probably in the minority, but I missed the lighter more humorous tone of Buffy's early seasons)
I wonder if this new Teen Wolf series in the works (and a werewolf trend in general) will lead to a BWOC release? I'm guessing not since TW is *also* looking to be a "dark and edgy" angst-fest! Sigh.
P.S. Preppy --- Brandon was good on Vampire Diaries, huh? I read quite a few comments online about his guest appearance...and it definitely sparked people's memories of Big Wolf On Campus. :) |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | | I thought his guest appearance on The Vampire Diaries was great. I have always liked Brandon Quinn as an actor. I hope he will make more guest appearances on this show, maybe even become a recurring character. From playing a werewolf on a lighter comedy-drama to playing a vampire on a more serious drama, he definitely has range as an actor. I would love to own all three seasons of Big Wolf on Campus on DVD. Its unreleased rank on TVShowsOnDVD is around 190, and out of a couple thousand, that's pretty popular. |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | | This was a great horror comedy series that aired on Fox Family Channel before it became ABC Family Channel. With all the recent acquisitions Shout! has made to shows that aired on ABC Family, is there any way you can look into this great series as well? |

Member since: 5/11/2010 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | Hey good point about ABC Family! That's a bit encouraging. Wish some more fans (I know they're out there on other forums) would show up here to request it ... but I guess the tvshowsondvd.com numbers Preppy mentioned, speak for themselves... I hope. :)

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | | Big Wolf on Campus is now ranked at 179 at TVShowsOnDVD.com. I looked up Webster and found it ranked at 190. Since Shout! has acquired Webster, which has been out ranked by Big Wolf on Campus, I encourage them to look into acquring this one as well and ideally release it as a complete series set! However, I would buy three season sets as well. |

Member since: 5/11/2010 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | I am honestly surprised over their choice to release Webster. I assume this means there's a good chance Diff'rent Strokes will be picked up and continued by Shout since Webster is considered a rip-off of that show?
Anyway, back on topic, I sure do hope they'll take Big Wolf's higher tvshowsondvd.com ranking into consideration. |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | | It has been nearly four months since anyone last posted to this thread, so I thought that I would bring it back to the top and garner people's attention to having this show on DVD. I realize the people at Shout! Factory are very hard at work, but I (as well as many others I assume) was just curious to know if this is a series they are interested in acquiring and releasing. |

Member since: 4/23/2011 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | | SHOUT! Factory, if you do release Big Wolf, PLEASE release the first season in production (not airdate) order.
The first season is so full of continuity. Not right away, but when viewing the first season, halfway through things begin to unravel. And it's not the make-up change, oh no. It's Merton praising an idol through a number of episodes until he meets the idol, dismisses him, then later, praises him again?
Or Becky going to a dance on her first date, to then on the next episode go to another school dance, dubbing the second dance she attends as her first dance?
Or Tommy and Stacey's relationship build throughout the first season.
Or how Stacey has no problem with Merton approaching her in an episode, with then, some episodes later, she seems to strongly distaste him (without Merton causing her any problems between the approval approach and the now-distaste Stacey)?
Not to mention, they placed a filler episode in airdate order as the season 1 finale, knocking the actual finale one episode lower. |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | | With the emergence of the new series Teen Wolf, based loosely on the 80's comedy film starring Michael J. Fox, this may be a great time to acquire and release this series on a first-time DVD! This was a great show that I'd purchase without any hesitation. The TVShowsOnDVD website has it ranked at around #160. This is actually a great number. |

Member since: 1/14/2012 | | RE: Big Wolf on Campus | I'm also a big fan of this show. This is still a website and forum running for it that would see the word of a release get out fairly quickly if it were to happen.
I think there is an issue with the rights being owned by a couple of different companies for the different seasons though, it makes it a bit more work to have a DVD release. |
