Shot in Luxembourg and done pretty much as a goof, it centered on business mogul Alexander Lucard (hint: spell the last name backwards), played by Geordie Johnson, and Gustav Helsing (Bernard Behrens), the man hunting him.

Max (Jacob Tierney) was actually one of Helsing's American nephews (Joe Roncetti's Chris was the other); both kids helped their uncle in the vampire-hunting biz. The show also featured Wolf Lake's Mia Kirshner, Lynne Cormack as Max and Chris's mom and Geraint Wyn Davies as Helsing's vampire son Klaus, who'd taken a bite from Lucard.
