Trivia

The original CBS incarnation of Airwolf was canceled after only three seasons due to declining ratings and star Jan-Michael Vincent's growing problem with alcoholism. Universal Studios produced this "sequel" series on a shoestring budget in Canada, in order to provide enough episodes for both shows to be sold into syndication.

User Reviews

Disgraceful

I saw one episode of this new series and it was awful. The action shots are all from the original series. Airwolf in this series tends to take a rather distant back seat and the programme concentrates more on irrelevant storylines. It looks like the producers and writers had used Airwolf's name to get the programme on the television.
