"Once in a lifetime, and then only if you are very, very lucky, comes
an idea that stuns you with its brilliance and simplicity. Such an
idea had Glen A Larson and Donald R Boyle. And that idea was Manimal."

"Actually, truth be told, the eight-year-old within me still thrills
to the sight of Manimal's bubbling skin, steadily elongating nose,
sharpening claws and burgeoning pelt or plumage. Take your CGI
nonsense and shove it! I believe! I believe once again!" :-)

Manimal.. manimal.... why does that ring a very quiet bell? Lasted 13 episodes
or so? I think I watched it but I also watched the Spiderman tv series with
incredibly crude SFX of that time period. Consitering Spiderman is a lot more
watchable today, it might be great for a Manimal comeback! Any animal would be
truth rather than hype!
