Originally aired as Nick Knight on CBS, if I recall... *Wikipedia* ...yep, as a TV movie. When it went to series, they changed the name so they wouldn't get confused with Nickelodeon's late-night program block.

He's trying to become human again, and to make up for several centuries of being Teh Evil Vampire. I didn't realize they'd continued with the series after CBS dropped it.
