Manimal Hoodies
Description: The infamous MANIMAL was an American action–adventure television series that ran on NBC for a few weeks in 1983. It centered on Dr. Jonathan Chase (played by Simon MacCorkindale), man who used his ability to shape-shif to help police solve crimes. While Dr. Chase could change himself into any animal he chose, he only transformed into a hawk and a black panther in every episode, occasionally transforming into a third animal such as a horse, dolphin, bear or bull in some episodes, with those transformations conveniently taking place offscreen, though in one episode a snake transformation was shown. These sequences were designed and created by legendary SFX artist Stan Winston.
Description: “From Africa’s deepest recesses to the rarefied peaks of Tibet, heir to his father’s legacy and the world’s darkest mysteries. Jonathan Chase, master of the secrets that divide man from animal, animal from man… Manimal!” So goes the intro narration for the short-lived action-adventure series, Manimal. Created by TV hit maker, Glen A. Larson, Manimal was anything but. The show only lasted eight episodes and has been widely panned as one of the worst shows of all time, but has managed to carve out a cult following over the years. The show centered around Jonathan Chase, who had the ability to transform into animal form, and used that ability to fight crime. Hey, we told you it was bad.
