Manimal, the mother of all "what-were-they-thinking?" series.

For anyone over ten, it was a laughable bunch of balls starring Simon MacCorkindale...We still have nightmares about his bulging hand.

Manimal was campy...and developed a cult following even as it became a punchline.

Despite the idiocy of its core concept, Manimal is actually surprisingly good fun.

The title tells you everything you need to know about how bad this show is.

No one was ever going to be able to take a show called Manimal seriously.

This show feels like a parody of superhero shows, but somehow it still wants to be taken seriously.

This show lasted barely three months on NBC's schedule in the fall of 1983, but its impact can still be felt on TV to this day. Well, OK, that's not true.

Special effects guru Stan Winston (who also brought Terminator, Predator and the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park to life) did the transformation effects for Manimal, which were only occasionally accidentally horrifying.
