Would you include Forever Knight, The Dresden Files or My Baby Sitter is a Vampire?

The first show I heard "Monster of the Week" was with, "The Outer Limits" 1963-65. Two 0ther live action shows that I can think of as monster of the week" include "Kolchak: The Night Stalker"1974-75, and "Friday the 13th: The Series" 1987-90
What ever happened to my Transylvania Twist?

Although some anthologies have been labeled "monster of the week" they don't contain the core cast that appears each week; a componentthat has become synonymous with "monster of the week". Both Kolchak and Friday the 13th are in the original list I compiled.
