Another relatively obscure series has been added to Warner Instant Archive: ABC’s Lucan. The series premiered as a movie of the week on May 22nd, 1977 and then aired irregularly for 11 episodes over the course of the 1977-1978 season. Kevin Brophy stared as a young man raised by wolves trying to learn more about who he is.
Oddly, at some point either some or all of the episodes were cut down to 30 minutes for syndication. The episodes now available for streaming are the original hour-long versions.
