One of the first regular series from [[Ruby
Despite the temporary difficulty of Fangface attacking Puggsy, the gang never hesitates to initiate the transformation to take advantage of the werewolf's power to cope with any danger. Indeed, they often refer to Fangface as their "secret weapon", even though very few people are afraid of him. Fangface and Fangs are unaware of each other, but Fangface lives in the moment, so he never seems to question why he's suddenly in a new place, whereas Fangs is always bewildered upon reversion.
Line 8:
Another oddity is that whenever Fangface sees his reflection in a mirror, he goes completely wild and only relies on instinct; sometimes with an addition of an order given to him, as demonstrated near the ending of "A Heap of Trouble", as well as "Dr. Lupiter and the Thing from Jupiter", "A Creep from the Deep" and "Westward Ho to the UFO".
Even though Fangs and Fangface are completely different in their personalities, they have similarities to one another. Fangs and Fangface both wear an orange hat, although the rest of Fangs' clothes disappear, and are friends of Kim, Biff and Puggsy. Fangs and Fangface also say the phrase "Ooh! Ooh!" (the trademark exclamation of [[Car 54, Where Are You?|Joe E. Ross]]) before expressing an idea, as heard in the episode "The Evil Design of Vulture-Man's Mind".
Another interesting occurrence are the barrage of invented words that the character Puggsy says, such as 'scramify' and 'rescuefy' in the episode "The Ill-Will Of Dr. Chill", which can be heard throughout the entire series.
Line 14:
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, but, of course, that werewolf could be born through another family which may be married to the Fangsworth family). When Fangs saw Fangpuss, he was afraid of the child. 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.
''Fangface and Fangpuss'' ran on [[American Broadcasting Company|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.

{{tropelist}}
* [[All Just a Dream]]: When Fangface reverts to Fangs, he dismisses it as such.
* [[Berserk Button]] : Subverted. Whenever Fangface sees his reflection in a mirror, he goes crazy, howling as loud as he can, hopping around, spinning on the floor, and then charging at the bad guys! But sometimes, it backfires.
* [[Brainy Baby]]: Baby Fangs. Yes. A tiny toddler who ''knows'' his cousin's and his own [[Super
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Puggsy's has to be "Ah, shuddup!"
** Kim spoofs [[Scooby Doo|Velma's]] "Jinkies!" by saying "Willikers!"
** Fangs/Fangface's catchphrase is similar to Joe E. Ross' character Gunther Toody in the tv show ''[[Car 54, Where Are You?]]'': "Ooo! Ooo!"
* [[Chekhov's Hobby]] : Despite Sherman Fangsworth being a cowardly nitwit and a fraidy cat, one of his hobbies is collecting dirt. Thanks to said hobby, he can analyze soil and accurately find the geographic source of it! Fangs also demonstrates other abilities that make him a bit like [[MacGyver]], making him the show's resident [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]].
* [[The Chew Toy]]: Poor Puggsy. You cannot help but pity him (or laugh at him!) for being in the [[Humiliation Conga]] as Fangface's sidekick, especially when his lycanthropic buddy attacks him after his [[Transformation Sequence]]!
** And [[It Gets Worse]] for Puggsy when Baby Fangs transforms into Fangpuss and joins his cousin in terrorizing the poor guy!
{{quote|
* [[Cooldown Hug]]: Subverted; when he devours Puggsy, Biff and Kim rubs Fangface's foot just to get him calmed down enough to spit Puggsy out!
* [[Four
** [[The Hero]]: Biff. Leader who can drive cars, boats, and planes.
** [[Action Girl]]: Kim, white-water rafting.
Line 36:
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]... and HOW!
