Has anyone ever seen this show? I saw this one as a kid so my recollection of it is pretty hazy. But I do remember that it was an interesting bit of tv.

The story of a boy raised by wolves who grows up and tries adapt to his human surroundings - he also happens to be a fugitive ( as usual) though I can't quite remember why. I do remember a scene where after he knocks out a guy in a boxing match, he's given the name, One Punch Wolfson cos the man only needs one punch. And no, that wasn't what the series was about. That boxer story was for only one episode.

The time spent with wolves made him stronger, faster and more agile than a normal human.

I'm sure the series died a quick death but it could be remade now with better, more atmospheric stories, some mystery and more zing. They could focus a little bit more on the mythical elements...I don't know.

Thoughts?

I can't recall much either except for certain scenes that kinda stood out during that time.

There was one where he climbed up a side of a building to get a job with a construction site. I remember thinking - Spiderman!

It might be interesting if it gets done now because the stories can be pushed further with interesting tangents.

I remember this show! i've been waiting for them to announce a remake, since they seem to remake pretty much everything ever made eventually. i recall Lucan was chased by a guy named Prentiss, which for some reason i remember because it was the same actor who also appeared in Bullitt and Towering Inferno (i was a big Steve McQueen fan as a wee lad)

You are the man, Dave. Not many would remember Prentiss.
