Speaking of Werewolves...

We are surely not the first to notice the recent uptick in the supernatural content of network television shows. (McNeil's daughter's question put us in mind of this.) We need Dr. "M.'s" expertise on this matter! Just off the top of our head, there are people who commune with the dead, people who bring the dead back to life, numerous ghost busters and demon hunters of the Kolchak variety, superheroes, time travelers, vampires, immortals, angels, and cyborgs galore. A boom of this kind has not been seen, perhaps, since the early sixties glut of witches, Martians, genies, talking cars, and humorous or campy families of monsters. Why? Why then? Why now?
