Local high school jock Tommy Dawkins (Brandon Quinn) has nothing to worry about until he's bitten by a werewolf. Not knowing what to do, he befriends the local effeminate genius goth Merton Dingle (Danny Smith) and together [[TheyFightCrime they team up to fight the weirdness and monsters]] that pour into the town of Pleasantville, even though almost everyone believes that their protector, "The Pleasantville Werewolf", is viciously dangerous, all the while Tommy tries to keep his life as normal as possible and go out with Stacy Hanson (Rachelle Lefevre). When Stacy moves out east to begin college early, the boys meet Lauren "Lori" Baxter (Aimée Castle) who discovers Tommy is a werewolf and helps them in their supernatural encounters.

The series lasted from April, 1999 to April, 2002. A total of 65 episodes in 3 seasons. An incredibly lighthearted show that essentially existed to parody shows like ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'', and replace their {{Wangst}} with lighthearted slapstick and goofy wordplay. A Canadian production, it ran on the [[Creator/ABCFamily Fox Family Channel]] and YTV.

** Merton is quite fond of swearing. See:

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: On two separate episodes, Tommy used the fake ID name of Hugh G. Balzak.
** In the pilot episode Merton's sister flat out states "Hey, Merton, if you're done downloading nudie pics of Sabrina The Teenage Witch, dinner's ready."
** Tommy tells Merton that part of him wants to tell Lori he's a werewolf. "And I wonder what ''part of you'' (pelvic thrust) that is."
** Merton goes looking for a way to reverse a spell online. The method he finds fails, and the website claims he didn't want it badly enough, leading him to yell "You don't understand how bad I want it!" just as his sister walks in. "I thought Mom and Dad blocked those sites?"
** "Merton, ''[[ThatCameOutWrong bone me]]!''"
** Merton talking about trying to impress a girl he likes with money: "I just want her to know, I've got a big wad and I'm willing to blow it all on her!"
** "Tommy, she's got balls." (bowling balls).
** When Tommy has difficulty wolfing out, he insists that it's never happened to him before.
** "How does Merton excite you?" Lori, when trying to get Tommy to change into a werewolf, followed by denial from Tommy.
** In one episode, Sloan, the latest MonsterOfTheWeek, is a hot girl that both Tommy and Merton want to ask to prom, turns the former against the latter in order to give him the kiss of death (as she's already done with Merton) by blatantly implying that Merton said he was gay.
*** "Well, I guess what Merton said is true. You really don't like girls. He said you're really into sports and hanging out with the guys, and girls aren't really your thing." -Sloan
** When a parasitically aged Merton bellows for "Prune Juice" he drops the r

* {{Adorkable}}: Merton.

* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Even though she is openly humiliated by his existence, Merton is viciously protective of her when he finds out she is going on her first date.

-->'''Merton:''' Remember when the alien burst out of John Hurt's stomach? That was [[OhCrap disgust...ing]].

* SiblingYinYang: Merton the unpopular goth nice guy senior, and Beckie his popular preppy evil freshman sister.

* ShoutOut: As mentioned in the RunningGag, the plots were usually comparable to a movie (or ''Series/TheTwilightZone'' episode, in some cases). Although sometimes this went as far as being a WholePlotReference.

*** Apparently there were dark suspicions about the neighbor's dog.

* FauxPaw: An episode features a {{werecat}} who performs the FauxPaw maneuver.
