Wow...this show didn't last longer? Get out! Seriously though, the narrated portion is classic. I especially love when the trio gets splashed by mud trying to hitch a ride.
Dr. David Banner: physician; scientist. Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have. Then an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry. And now when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
As kids we used to try and do that thing with the backs of our hands that he does, where it goes all lumpy and bubbling up and down when he transforms :)
@gorgobar lLOL!! I used to do that too when I was a wee little kitty :D
But this was 1 of my loved old 80's TV shows along , Knight rider, CHIPS, The dukes of Hazzards and Beauty and the beast ( well that was 1990's) . Metal and fur gets tangled up sometimes and it sucks :( but love animal and nice cars :) peace
if you hated Dallas you watched this- ah nothing like 10 minute intros to 21 minute shows- the plot was so bizarre it required a huge intro played every episode- Manimal- ah even the name well i watched it so i guess i hated Dallas a lot
damn, I only vaguely remembered this show. I remember the effects were really cool when he changed into the hawk or puma. And HOT Melody anderson was on this.
Oh my gosh - I culd not stop laughing -u r right meesterfett its the funniest intro ever - was determined not to laugh but could not help myself. The 'scary' looking black/asian person/native behind Manimal as a young, stereotypical white "white blonde" person too much. Brought back memories of growing up in Africa - this stuff should be banned!!! lol

@bloodsling Yes. A shark, a horse, a bear, a bull, a dolphin, a snake, a cat, and a macaw. Not bad for eight episodes, really. They only filmed the three transformation sequences, though - hawk, panther and snake.
Aww man, I used to love this show when I was a kid! I also remember a show that came on after this about a guy who was a robot with a TV in his chest. I remember his whole body would look like white noise sometimes. Anyone else remember a show like this?
@1Ephekt1 i hope you didn't get striked by lightening with your blasphemous remark!!! LOLOL yes i'm catholic but i found it to be very funny...i chuckled heartily! thanks
I'll be so glad when this stupid shit is forgotten forever. It's amazing to me how people bash the Bible and discount it as nonsense and silmutaneously embrace the most ridiculous fantasies. Unbefrigginleavable.
nothing wrong with that, both are fruit. it would be different i suppose if you were comparing a human being with....lets say... an american. that would be incomparable!!!
lol, yeah you're right both are ridiculous. Unfortunately, we have to deal with numbnuts who actually believe in one of these nonsense... As for your american insult....I don't totally disagree with you, but the majority isn't the way you think, its really a minority....Its fustrating, the powers that be wants everyone to believe these minority obscurantists are what really america represents.
I don't think that people believe manimal is actually real whereas people are supposed to believe the bible. That's kind of the difference Y'know. It's t.v. and it's a made up show. People didn't follow a guy around with cameras who actually turns into animals.
On the otherhand, I actually can turn into animals at will, so can I have some followers nao plox?
I'm a guy, but I also turn into zany animals. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I'm a doctor too. Now...I solve crime....oh and my partner is Melody Anderson. Ahhhh, only in the 80's.
My dad watched this show but i was never interested in it when i was little. I only liked the part where he changed into the panther. beyond that I liked ...streethawk. Which looking back was nearly as dumb as this.LOL
Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't make one just with the 8 eps (and maybe some behind the scenes stuff). Considering Hulkie's 5th season was cut short and they still made a DVD for season five.
Good point! It would be interesting to see some behind the scenes stuff of how the late,great,Stan Winston brought those changes to life. Larson should give the series it's do.
The ONLY good thing about this is William Conrad narrating the intro!
