Great Cheesy Fun
I'm waiting impatiently for this series to come out on DVD. It was one of those shows that you both laugh at and enjoy sitting down to when you need easy entertainment. The premise: a town where many of the inhabitants experience a "change" in their teens that is more than just the usual hormonal mayhem, and folks are divided into those who do and those who either don't or won't. It's a bit thin on its face, but is nevertheless appealing to those of us who enjoy the idea of secret magical communities and transformation stories. The core conflicts are the mischief made by these powerful teen werewolves, who pay only as much attention to outside restrictions, such as school, as necesssary to keep up appearances; the "will she or won't she" anguish of the sherriff's pretty daughter, ripe for her transformation but torn between her father's values and the call of the wild (Dad married "out", declined to join the pack, and doesn't want the daughter to join, either); the search for Ruby Wilder, the missing fiancee of an outside law enforcement agent; and the fight for leadership of the next generation of the pack among the Cates family, who currently head it up. The young people are, of course, deadly attractive (dig those white teeth!), and the adults go along with good humor and straight faces, notably Tim Matheson as Sheriff Donner, trying to keep his daughter from going over, and Lou Diamond Phillips as John Kanin, the cop who has traced his missing girlfriend, Ruby, as far as Wolf Lake. Mary Elizabeth Winstead at an earlier point in her now slightly larger career, does a nice turn as Sheriff Donner's daughter, Sophia, trying to figure out whether or not to howl with the clan. Great fun, in this reviewer's opinion, rarely re-run on television, and would be a welcome addition to the TV library if only you all would get off your butts and release it!

A Great Find
I stumbled across this intriguing series. Not the usual werewolf story.
Quirky, sexy, entertaining, engaging, great visuals---just a wonderful supernatural show.
Not too much to be silly. Just expand your imagination a little.
Actors you know and enjoyed, and occasional wolf actors that add a lot to the programs.
I hate I missed it when it was on TV, I wish they had more episodes.

I loved this series
I'd forgotten all about Wolf Lake until the sci-fi channel did a marathon last week and had it on TV the whole day. I was disappointed to find it hasn't been released even on VHS, what's up with that? I love the idea of people being able to change into such a beautiful animal, to run wild and free. I hope it will be released on DVD. I wish the series had run longer but I would like to own the ones that are done.
