It was called "Crimetime After Primetime," a grab bag of semi-lurid crime dramas that appeared in the early 90s. Forever Night lasted the longest out of this line-up.
Vampire Detective Nick Night works to regain his humanity, his soul, and redemption after centuries of drinking mortals like juice boxes. The show was shot in Toronto on the cheap.
Parallels to AngelVampire with a conscience seeking redemption
Drives a 1960s convertible
Crime Fighter/Investigator
Tormented by his sire
Flashbacks to Ye Olde Vampire Days as B-Story
If Whedon didn't use this show as a template, it feels a bit like influence.
As Toronto emerged as a cheap shooting location compared to Hollywood, more and more shows would be shot in the area. This show features players who would appear on Stargate SG1, The Practice, Stargate Atlantis, Deep Space 9, and other fare. A young actor in the 1990s might've had a better chance in the Toronto TV scene.
The show itself is terrible. It's not a cute and self-consciously ironic terrible. It's just terrible, which makes it endearing in its own way.
