Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhenever the script called for an animal transition, the production designer, director, set decorator, stunt supervisor, animal wrangler and actor had to carefully coordinate every move. Shooting on a sound stage allowed more animal control; location shoots were very difficult. When one script required a cobra, the entire set's perimeter floor and walls had to be sealed to prevent the animal from escaping. A low wall was placed at the open end of the set to seal the stage. To set up filming action scenes with the snake, the camera crew had to lift their equipment into walled-off stage area. The snake wrangler supervised the animal's movements.
- GoofsA bit strange for a cop, Brooke had a purse seemingly "permanently fused" to her shoulder. Whenever she was running around after bad guys, her purse was inconveniently dangling at her shoulder. She kept her gun in her purse, contrary to other lady cops, who carried it in a holster.

I Finally Got Manimal on DVD
yessssssss
well like many postes here, i also spoke about this TV show when friends are around talking about the 80s TV. Very few remember Manimal but the fact that some do is really something.
it only ran for 8 EPs and that Includes the pilot. and I'm talking from London England, so some TV people here payed money to air it here. like i say it ran for Just 8 eps and we still remember it to this day so i must have made some sort ot impact. Shame there wasn't more.
well i looked into it and it was never released on DVD so god knows where this came from. ahhhh memory's
all i need now is Auto-Man, StreetHawk on DVD
