Werewolf from the town: a warm evening after school, television, and a bit of nostalgia

Hello, millennials. You know, a long time ago there was a show called "Big Wolf on Campus," which we remember as "The Werewolf from the Town." It was good, funny, almost comic-like. I want to hug all the characters and say: you kept my after-school evenings.
The main character is a popular football player who gets bitten by a werewolf. Alongside him is the loser goth Merton. That friendship between the school star and the quirky guy with dark humor is the best part of the show for me. The main character has a hikikomori brother who spends his days in front of the TV because the internet hasn't become popular yet. And Lori Baxter, who solves problems with a kick from a spin. It was a great show. Who remembers it now? I haven't googled it; I'm just writing what has stuck in my memory.
I liked the atmosphere. Everything felt like a comic: exaggerated, silly, but warm. No unnecessary brutality, no desire to turn teenagers into a tragedy. Just friends, school, strange events, and jokes. I catch myself thinking that I miss such simplicity. When you turn on the TV after school and the world becomes a little kinder.
And I remembered another detail that brings a smile to my face. In one episode, Merton — the same goth in black clothes with eternal sarcasm — said he loves watching "Buffy." That reference looked cool. It was like the show winked at the viewer: "Yes, we know you love other supernatural stories too." And there was such a sincere, friendly note in it. Not pretentious, not an attempt to seem smarter, just a little joke for the insiders.
These memories are something I want to put in a little box and take out sometimes. Not for analysis, but for warmth. Because sometimes I want to go back to the time when the main problem was making it to an episode after class.
Next time, I might recall the first season of "Veronica Mars." But for now — I hug everyone who also sat by the TV after school and believed in the friendship between the football player and the goth.
