Subject: Can anyone remember the name of this show?
Written By: Cafe80s on 07/18/05 at 4:46 pm
Can anyone remember the name of this TV show from about the mid 80s i think? I can't for the life of me remember the name of the show. OK i'll attept to describe it as best i can. The show was about a guy who could change into animals. I remember he could change into a panther, an eagle & i think a dolphin. The transformation scene reminded me of the 70s Incredible Hulk TV show. My only vague memory of the show is the guy changing into a panther (his most common transformation) & seeing a close up of his hand changing as the veins pulsated in his hand & his hand began to morph into a panther's claw. It's weird because i remember every other TV show from the 80s very vividly & it's not like i'm to young to remember it, but for some reason my memories of this show are so vague it's like trying to remember a dream i had over 6 months ago or something. I know i didn't dream this or something like that because i mentioned it to my brother (one year younger) & he remembers it to, but just can't remember the name of the show. This question would probably be best answered by someone in their 30s because i'm 28 & i remember very little about it. PLEASE HELP

No way, i don't remember Beastmaster but i just looked it up & on the DVD cover the main character looks like He-man or something LOL & that's Definatly not it at all LOL ;D. No it definatly sounds more like manimal, because the main character was just a normal average guy from the present (back then) except he had the ability to change into animals & the transformation secquence looked very much like the old 70s Incredible Hulk TV series. It had nothing to do with a barbarian type figure in a mythical land Hercules style or anything like that. ;D

It was Manimal, a short lived TV series about a man who could change into a hawk or panther (no dolphin), Beastmaster (which ended becoming a short lived TV series in the late 90's) was one of many cheap Conan knock offs made during the early 80's, and was about Dar, a warrior who could communicate with animals, and had the vision of a hawk.
And oh yeah... for some weird reason Beastmaster was shown over and over again, on TBS, or as many called it at one point, The Beastmaster Station. ::)
