Manimal

[fabiomarine]

The FX are crap, if compared to today's productions. But the stories were much much better than nowadays series. Good times...

[69LIGHTHEAD]

I actually was just telling my son about this show last night. It was one of my favorite tv shows back then.

[Breheny86]

hot tub time machine brought me here :)

[IIQuasarII]

J'étais fasciné par cette série à l'époque !!

[Marjorie1826]

manimal et son félin la panthère aux yeux vertes... j'adore

[bcgrote]

So he could turn into ANY animal - as long as it was a hawk, panther, snake, spider, or horse? Bogus.

[PufferBluntman]

Manimal! *Rawr*

[LongLiveLink3]

bahaha my favorite part is the last 2 seconds "*RAWR* manimal" WIN every time <3

[TH8007]

They need to have the show on again. Sadly the main character has died...but the show was one of my favorites and I would love to see it back again!!!!

[adventures2games]

possibly THE WORST upload EVER - GREAT show however!

[droge085]

Cinema Snob brought me here.

[sipraomer]

When he used to convert in the movie I would suddenly rise from my chair and tried really hard to become the tiger in the same manner this man was becoming in the show. it got me so excited when I was six or seven years old.

[hirolla74]

Great show when i was a kid. Glen A Larsen and Stephen J Cannell rule the 70s and 80s!!!

[SUPREMEQUEEN09]

I remember when I was a kid I'd curl my fingers under & pretend I was changing in to a Jaguar.

[MelissaB1976]

Simon sadly died last year.

[mystisme]

it is cute to see simon to play a big role after seeing him play a third role in jesus of nasareth he his the centurion that conduct the women to the cave after jesus death , never the less i never saw him again doing movies what happened to him???

[tnawcwvictoria]

Manimal was a series from Glen A. Larson Creator of Alias Smith and Jones, Battlestar Galactica, Quincy, M.E., Magnum, P.I., The Fall Guy and Knight Rider

Simon MacCorkindale (Falcon Crest), Melody Anderson (Flash Gordon), Michael D. Roberts (who appeared in the very 1st episode of Knight Rider) were great on the series

I use to see this on Sci-Fi (now SyFy) and it's too bad it only lasted 8 episodes, but still a cult favorite

Manimal is owned by 20th Century Fox Television

[ds102]

Simmons.

[endelmaa]

SIMMONS! FIRST!

[petswalking]

I would like to have again Animal in TV series. I really good!! I love it!!

[21manners]

Repose en paix, Simon.

Tu resteras dans nos memoires, Manimal!

[tunkunrunk]

@21manners toi aussi ta appris la nouvelle de son décès ? ça ma fait un choc , j'adorais la série tv et "force de frappe " aussi , il avait souvent des roles à la roger moore , toujours en costume cravate , séducteur ....

rest in peace

..

[warpeace3]

i just found out he passed away. i cant belive it he was so young..rest in peace simon.

[tunkunrunk]

@warpeace3 yes , sad , very , Im in France loved the tv serie as a kid . I've always thought  he acting style was close to roger moore

[warpeace3]

@tunkunrunk i was 6 years old when i first saw this show. i know what you mean. simons done alot of tv shows and soap operas. but this is the show he will best be remembered for. even for 8 episodes. he made the show become a cult classic.

[retrofann1]

@warpeace3 Shame it did not get at least 1 full season run for us fans!

[warpeace3]

@retrofann1 well they did in ther own way. finish the story of his character in a superhero show called night man. where it was a 2 parter with him and his daughter who also inherited the gift of transformation. it was something the producer wanted to do. for the fans to complete the series of manimal. i belive its on youtube. punch in night man manimal episode. it should be on here somewhere.

[retrofann1]

@warpeace3 did you like Manimal?

[warpeace3]

@retrofann1 i loved this show. i was 6 years old when it came out. i thought it was really good. it just wasnt given the chance at the time. i also remember Simon MacCorkindale in jaws 3.

[SidJustice1]

@retrofann1, Good series. They could have gotten a decent run out of this concept.

RIP SM

[Russell230870]

RIP SIMON

[october4891647]

Rest in peace Simon, you were a gentleman and will be missed by many.

[filmidioten]

Anyone who asks people to do a 'thumbs up if you agree' should be raped to death.

[alizarin89]

[LolonMatinez]

Best TV show ever.

[MrFerdifuchs]

[mindstormsabrewin]

I remember the episode when he got a bad case of worms and spent the entire episode scooting across the carpet.

[enyawd1977]

@mindstormsabrewin

LMAO...you made me spit snapple on my monitor...damn you!

[utrapzab]

@mindstormsabrewin funniest comment of the night, im styill laughing

[ralphieboogerbottoms]

The only superhero that had to use a litterbox and stay off the furniture.

[silverzhawk]

Good show that never got a chance with only 8 episodes.

Got in on VHS.

[ProportionalResponse]

I remember a scene where he changed into a dog, and jumped into a bathrub with a woman. Am I remembering right, or is that just in my head?

[vaarluukl]

exquisite....

[ruxp1n]

lol @ andrewucc. i loved this show as a kid. i was actually just explaining the paw thing when i scrolled down and saw your post. i know it's old news, but i'm glad as hell i found this vid. ty uploader.

[rajdip75]

I have been watching manimal when I was 15 years age. Today I m 28 still facinated towards the serial. I m also expecting the serial to be telecasted again like other US TV serials I Dream of Jeanie n Bewitched. Hope will be telecasted soon in Australia.

[Ariadneau]

i loved this show... wish i could get it on dvd

[peralta2944]

jajaja doblaba la mano y se empezaba a convertir en pantera. que hdps los que la crearon.

[Addy1000]

It's like Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, but for real. Badly made 80's nonsense at it's finest. Amazing. BRING IT BACK!

[emiliano1978india]

bellissimo una sigla inquietante da piccolo avevo un po' paura

[THEGAMERWORLD2]

This show was awesome.Why cant they send it today ?

Good old days this was !

[Breen31173]

Dr Jonathan Chase Wealthy Young Handsome. God how corny can you get

[Agurksmurf]

Great show

[jaynoorhstreet]

this would be a much more believable role for Seth Rogen than the Green Hornet. They'll save millions on special effects, he already looks like a bloated, ugly, hairy animal.

[bookaltd]

Haha I used to love this show. The intro really reminds me of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

[recordman64]

There was actually a tie-in with Orange Julius for this show...I used to have the 3-d promo thingy for it, that I got when they took it down from the place.

[broadbent48]

Oh my how dumb was this.?!

-and I used to watch it too.

[andrewucc]

The show that inspired me to spend countless schooldays attempting to bend my fingers into leopard paws and conduct a feline metamorphosis.

[MademoiselleMiam]

@andrewucc Hahaha. I laughed so hard when i read your comment. I am french and we had this show on tv 25 years ago, and well, i tried to to do the exact same thing as you did hahahahaha :)

[DEADLYOVERRIDE]

@andrewucc you weren´t the only one ;)

[thelifeuwant]

@andrewucc me too lol - I tried so hard to become a leopard or an eagle :P

I used to love watching this as a kid :)

[Tahigotom]

@andrewucc Moi aussi !!!!!!! :) WARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHH !!! :)

[castper]

@andrewucc

i tought i was the only one!

[KarthikSoun]

The 80s will always be the best!! We have nothing like this these days!! Desperate house wife is all these shity kids get..lol..

[mellerbeck]

can't believe it was only 8 episodes, I thought it was amazing

[BazWaz1975]

wonder if he wears sex panther by odeon?

[furyianfyre]

This would be cool with the technology that is available now. The premise was a good one and it was good for what it was.

[Carthsting]

@furyianfyre Premise is a piece of crap.Directing and scriptwriting suck, so as the production value.Live with it.Show is a dumphole of moviemaking.

[mwillblade]

This show was so bad I circumcised myself with a chainsaw !

[ahwanggg]

wahahahhahaha

[fishlogg]

I loved it and thought the whole thing was cool!

[masonal]

Nightman introduced an interesting idea. Have an older Chase that struggles with his identity and raising his unknowing teenage daughter.

[abSOULuteD]

If your talkin about that jazz guy whose a superhero, that was a comic book. I remeber the character was a guest on an animated series that was a comic book as well I forgot what it was

[masonal]

RIght. It was made into a live action series that lasted two season and was also Glen Larson. There was an episode where Manimal joined forces with Nightman

[abSOULuteD]

Don''t think ive seen that one

[retrozfann]

A great series that never got a chance.

[blue83galant]

They should do a remake of this series.

[kendon81]

i remember how he used to change but dont remember the episodes

[neild555]

I remember Manimal but never recall any of the episodes. You could get away with anything back in the 80's LOL

[Boodwin]

Michael D. Roberts was in ice pirates with Robert Urich, Ron Perlman, and Bruce Villanche. Great movie, but damn, what a strange decade.

[MrJoseSCL]

The transformation sequence gave me the creeps.

[Nouchpopi]

Drood rox

[lavakava]

who is the chick smooching him at 0:16...i always got a hard on when I was a kid watching her do that?

[prospectus91]

LOL! Why did you end that statement with a question mark?

[tattij]

Manimal was the junk!!!!!

[homembom]

A movie made nowadays, it would be better! And the music theme would be HUNTING HIGH AND LOW from A-ha!

[MrBaba9]

Thanx to youtube I can now show people Manimal because they never know what I'm talking about when I mention it.

[JayT98]

Yea, Show didn't last too long. I thought it was a great show. but of course i was only a kid at the time.

[josieldeassis]

Only 8 episodes!

[znat5]

absolutely loved Manimal. I remember I recorded one episode about scrimshaw. i watched it over and over...

[IWML]

@smidi1974 - ME TOO! no-one i speak to remembers this AT ALL (or Automan!) - so it's good to see we're not crazy!

awesome. i loved it. can't believe it only ran for 8 episodes!

[nagaempress]

You are not alone those and Masqureade and Salvage 1 COOL shows!

[nspolsino]

Awful TV

[videozman1]

Underrated show that never got a chance.

[apaiton]

haha a good laugh

[masonal]

If it hadn't been put up against Dallas it would have most definitely lasted more than 8 episodes.

[videozman1]

Dallas played on Friday on CBS. Manimal played on Saturday on NBC. Effects budget was too high for the changes and it was not catching on fast enough. Like i said in another comment. Never got a chance or at least 1 full season for a dvd release which is bulls**t.

[scrambuild]

I am an eighties kid, and man we grew up on some SHIT television.

[videozman1]

We grew up on good tv. The shit tv is now.

[torisan999]

I remember this show..it was awesome!

XD

[MrDemolitionMan]

How come all 80s shows have a black character named third on the opening credits?

[smidi1974]

Bloody hell, i am soo glad to find this download, i have mentioned this to friends and they think ive dreamed up this lol

[travelbully]

Oh my Gosh! This was an awesome show! I remember the episode when Jonathon had to fight a ninja and he used the ability of animals that he was able to turn into to whip that ninja's behind.

This came out around the time Automan came out. Great shows! It brings back a lot of memories.

[renaud3306]

Did you know that the make up was made by Stan Winston the guy who made also the make up of Terminator, the dinosaurs of jurassic park, the predator, the alien's queen....?

[semtexxrev]

Actual opening:

"a man with the darkest of pasts"

C'mon Dawg, watch your own post

[agisus]

I believed my transform have the same power.....good generation

[dlacoul]

la music avc la panthere:superbe!!souvenir

[TonyLyndellWilliams]

Glen Larsen must have been stoned ... or drunk ... or both ... when he dreamed up "Manimal".

[JediJoe1138]

I loved this back in the 80's! I think it was on Friday nights, anyone else remember when he turned into a shark in the swimming pool? Man, looking pretty cheesey now though...LOL!

[goonie1981]

OMG all da memories coming trough my mind right this instant......Amazng! i used to dream to have the same powers haha i was only a little girl tho! xx

[siseokey]

SERIA BUENO UNA PELICULA SI OQUE

[thebruno44]

I used to call this girl manimal back in college.... not to her face but around my friends.

[LouiePlaysDrums]

I remember "Manimal". This series was cancelled almost as fast as it began. I enjoyed it though.

[andy42x]

LOL.. i loved this as a kid. Thanks for posting.

[intromix]

Just ONE of the many great Glen Larson productions: Battlestar Galactica, Quincy, and Buck Rodgers being my favorites from him as well!!

[hajimseSAITOU]

Haaaaaa que pena decir que me gustaba esta serie jaja que malos efectos tenia, pero segun yo a esa edad eran los mejores

[siomara1981]

apesar que naci en el 81 me acuerdo que era muy chica pero lo veia, mi mama no se perdia ni un capitulo.

[Asierramoore]

I loved this as a child! I was so sad when they cut it.

[apolosergi23]

exelente ojala saquen una peli de esta serie

[sidespin1985]

I loved it!

[karopi26]

I loved manimal... In Colombia was a hit! Even nowadays we still remember manimal and all of us as a kids use to try to change and put the hands like manimal... I just love it! Too bad that nobody lie it in US!

[hughbreidenbach]

This show was fantastic. I loved the transformation into a panther. When he changed to a snake I nearly puked tho'.

[andy42x]

i thought he could only transform into a panther or an eagle. ??

[KaitainCPS]

Nar, man, he could become a snake as well.

And a hamster.

[lardhat]

I remember him transforming into a horse, and being ridden. His ass hurt later, because of the whipping.

[devilpuppy1969]

I loved this show as a kid, I was heartbroken when NBC cancelled it.

[Cavillier1970]

I know what you mean. It was awesome Saturday night tv. And remember folks Stan Winston did the effects for the panther, hawk and snake transformations, well before the Terminatior or the Aliens.

[edjavs]

Inolvidable

[shampali]

this bring back so much memories

[JSammler]

I've always wanted to die of malaria on a cot in Africa.

[feckingbillgates]

If this was released on DVD it would sell better than Thundercats.

[tamagon80]

I loved it end enjoyed so much as i was a kid. The lead actress was one of the cutest I've ever watched on tv.

[dazzyboy74]

i watched every episode recently. I loved it as a kid but boy was I in for a dissapointment. Its Crap!!

[nocsha]

lost ain't got shit on manimal

[mexilla79]

oh god i'm so old... :(

[Anto1]

Ah, so thats what Arsene Wenger did before he managed Arsenal.

[wyldchyld76]

I used to LOVE watching this show as a kid! Too bad it wasn't as successful as some of the other shows during it's time! I agree that it'd be cool to do a newer version of it using today's technology, but I think the producers would just ruin it and shit... probably even cast some lame dweeb to play the role of Jonathan Chase (i.e: Shia LeBeauf)

[s10jam]

You're dead on brother

[miamigroove]

jeez this was exciting as a kid but now its so cheesy to see

[DortchMcGirken]

I'd be a maggot.

[clahen612]

If I could be Manimal, I'll become black panther, hawk, python, bear, bull, horse, dolphin, wolf, antelope, lhama, argali, baboon, kangaroo and komodo dragon.

[jasonashland]

Manimal was probably one of the GREATEST TV shows ever made. With thought-provoking story lines, unsurpassed special effects, and of course the best acting by the world's most celebrated thespians: Simon MacCorkindale, Melody Anderson, and Michael D. Roberts. Thank you to them and to the producers of this show who have changed my life forever.

[JLD1964]

Simon Mc-CORKY-dale is one of the worst actors in TV history! He sucked in this show in which they should've hired Dirk Benedict! Plus he killed several other shows in the 80's and 90's and oh yeah....let's NOT forget Relic Hunter too! God! Will someone send him to Mars?!

[007bondspy]

this show.....how the fuck did it ever ever get made....such a load of horseshit..er i mean tigershit

[007bondspy]

simon mcorkinsphinct

[maglavagna]

Manimal. A great premise for a show done poorly. I think that if they remade this show it could be great.
