I’ve been grabbing a lot of episodes of “cartoons that never should have been” lately. Not for watching, but mostly for having. And laughing at. And fast-forwarding through. And getting a feel of how bad they were. I present you with screenshots from “Teen Wolf: The Animated Series” (1986) (imdb link here).
Check out the theme!:
Even worse is the fact that there are 2 closing themes: The standard credits-with-a-closing-theme, but also a “song” at the end of every episode, featuring a mostly-live-action-looking Teen Wolf. I don’t know if this was to “humanize” him more and to link him more to the movie, but either way: OH THE HORROR:
I have looked into the face of evil… And it is mankind. OR at least, wolfkind. What the hell is this anyway, Parker Lewis meets Teen Wolf?!?!?!
You can see an act of an episode right here (skip over the theme song):
And there are tons more Teen Wolf:TAS videos on YouTube found HERE.
To see part 2 of this series, go here.

haha – awesome!
I’d be into checking this out. Also, episodes of Parker Lewis. I was really into that when i was a kid. Cheap Ferris Beuler rip-off, but still – i’m a sucker for a wiseass. I dug that fat dude from ER who had that big lunch sack. That ruled. I always wanted to have the biggest sack.

I remember the theme song for the cartoon Teen Wolf. Sadly, I am somewhat of an encyclopedia for 80s sitcom and cartoon theme songs. From “Small Wonder” to “James Bond Jr.” to to both Ghostbusters to “Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling”, if it aired on a non-network affiliate, non-cable (we couldn’t get cable) station on weekday afternoons or on a network on Saturday morning or weeknight, I remember the theme song.

Hehe, I have about 2000+ themesongs myself. Closing credits themes are particularly hard to come by – I often extract and encode them myself from obscure downloaded files. :)
