Manimal
Manimal is an American action-adventure series that ran from September to December 1983 on NBC.
The show centers around the character Dr Jonathan Chase, a shape-shifting man who possessed the ability to turn himself into any animal he chose. He used this ability to help the police solve crimes.
By modern standards the show's special effects, though plentiful, are low-quality.
While Jonathan had the ability to change himself into any animal, he would transform into a hawk and a black panther in nearly every episode.
In some episodes, he would transform into a third animal, such as a horse, dolphin, or bull, with the transformation taking place offscreen, though once he was shown becoming a snake.
The show was scheduled opposite CBS's popular soap opera Dallas, and was cancelled after eight episodes. However, it was very popular in a number of other countries.
