Been watching since 3rd grade. My wolf is named Barnabus, 3 Aussies 1) Quentin 2) Angelique 3) Pansy Faye Do not know what the next 6 will be - maybe all of Julia Hoffman's various characters like Magda. Tells your age if u watched it -' over 55 lol Now watching all 1200+ episodes - barely remember it! BEST SHOW EVER! Karthia Grotey ×× EPISODES 1-210 are on Prime but advertisement is in color (show b&w). Barnabus makes 1st appearance in Ep 211 when Willie Loomis unchains coffin

I was introduced to this show as a kid in the 90s when it was on Sci-Fi Channel and it left such an impression on me I never forgot it. Over 20 years later I finally watched every episode... And glad I did. Over half a century later and this is still easily one of the most entertaining shows ever made. It's obvious when watching it how much it influenced supernatural/horror television. It might be cheaply made but the writing and acting is almost always top notch. Definitely recommend
