Fangface	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One of the first regular series from Ruby-Spears, debuting in 1978. Following in the formula of Scooby-Doo (which, while created by Ruby and Spears, was not a product of their production company), Fangface features four teenagers — Kim, Biff, Puggsy and Sherman "Fangs" Fangsworth, who drive around in their convertible called the Wolf-Buggy, solving mysteries which frequently involve mad scientists, aliens, monsters, and outlandish crimes.The big twist is that Fangs is a werewolf, who will transform into "Fangface" whenever he sees the moon. Or a picture of the moon. Or something that looks kinda like the moon. Luckily, all he needs to see is the sun (or something resembling it) to change him back. Of course, having a werewolf on your mystery-solving team has its advantages (he's often referred to as a "secret weapon"), and the team keep photos of the sun and moon on hand to initiate Fangs' Transformation Sequence as necessary. Fangface is stronger, faster, and better in a fight — although he has the bad habit of trying to eat Puggsy, especially when he hears any reference to food. In his human form, naturally, he has no idea about any of this, and is frequently confused to find himself in a situation he has no memory of getting into.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Another significant difference between this show and Scooby Doo was that all of the monsters in it were real, including the titular werewolf himself.In 1979, the second season, titled Fangface and Fangpuss, aired as a segment on The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show and introduced a new character: Baby Fangs, Fangs' infant cousin who turns into a baby werewolf called Fangpuss (which contradicts the opening narration stating that only one werewolf is born into the family every 400 years, unless Baby Fangs' lycanthropy comes from another source entirely). The show remained in the same mystery-adventure style as the first season, but episodes were now shortened to 15-minute segments. Sixteen episodes of Fangface and Fangpuss were produced for the 1979-80 season. The episodes "The Creepy Goon from the Spooky Lagoon" and "Dr. Lupiter and the Thing from Jupiter" are the only season two episodes in which Baby Fangs/Fangpuss did not make an appearance.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Fangface and Fangpuss ran on ABC from September 22, 1979, to September 27, 1980; it then became a separate series in 1981 and, like the original Fangface, ran for just one season. After this series, Fangface and company faded into obscurity until reruns began to air on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. A few episodes were released to VHS, but the bulk of the series was only available in bootleg format, until eventually the first series, at least, became available for digital purchase through iTunes and Amazon.Has a characters page!

Fangface / int_eb99df21	type	Funny Animal
Fangface / int_eb99df21	comment	Even within the series, werewolves vary. The episode "Where's The Wolf That's The Werewolf" featured the gang going after... a werewolf. Not only did he look entirely different from Fangface (being more humanoid and less Funny Animal, though he can't seem to talk), his transformation was triggered by a potion (conveniently labeled "Werewolf Secret Formula").

Fangface / int_f08f8f89	comment	Comedic Underwear Exposure: Happens in several episodes when Fangface (each time after his first transformation) pulls poor Puggsy's pants for no reason; sometimes they're pulled down with his paws, while other times they're even yanked off with his fang.

Fangface / int_f8b3fa5d	type	Our Werewolves Are Different
Fangface / int_f8b3fa5d	comment	Our Werewolves Are Different... and HOW! Even within the series, werewolves vary. The episode "Where's The Wolf That's The Werewolf" featured the gang going after... a werewolf. Not only did he look entirely different from Fangface (being more humanoid and less Funny Animal, though he can't seem to talk), his transformation was triggered by a potion (conveniently labeled "Werewolf Secret Formula"). And then, in the same episode, Puggsy becomes a werewolf for a short time thanks to the same formula. Unlike the drastic difference between Fangs and Fangface, he looks mostly the same as normal, except for the brown fur on his hands, feet, and face. On the other hand, unlike the villainous werewolf, he can still talk, and he winds up acting like Fangface, right down to the "Ooh! Ooh!" exclamation.

Fangface / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: A frequent habit of Fangface. For example, in the episode "The Ill Will of Dr. Chill", the eponymous villain gloats that "You've made your last mistake!" and Fangface excitedly assumes that this means he will be infallible going forward.
