Faithful Aquaboy listener…there is good news and bad news to share. First the good news…the Aquaboys have returned after a long medical-related hiatus. The bad news…they are still watching this downright terrible show, Manimal. New off-screen animal transformations, a tropical paradise setting, needlessly over-complicated puzzles, and deep state espionage are not enough to keep this mess from appealing to even the most merciful of viewers. If you listen close, you'll notice the Aquaboys are losing interest fast. But will they renew??
Manimal is an American superhero television series created by Glen A. Larson and Donald R. Boyle, it ran on NBC from September 30 to December 17, 1983. The show centers on the character Jonathan Chase (Simon MacCorkindale), a shape-shifting man who can turn himself into any animal he chooses. He uses this ability to help the police solve crimes. The series ended after a brief eight episode run, but has since become a minor cult classic.
