Manimal might be the most famous (or infamous) of the shows the Aquaboys have watched so far. Its celebrity status as terrible TV seems built on a couple giant ideas that were executed hilariously bad. Maybe the producers thought the killer effects would carry the show? Did bubble forehead, felt cat paw, and tamed cobras impress the Aquaboys enough to renew this legendary train wreck? Listen and find out for yourself.
Manimal is an American superhero television series created by Glen A. Larson and Donald R. Boyle, it ran on NBC from September 30 to December 17, 1983. The show centers on the character Jonathan Chase (Simon MacCorkindale), a shape-shifting man who can turn himself into any animal he chooses. He uses this ability to help the police solve crimes.
The series ended after a brief eight episode run, but has since become a minor cult classic.
