Manimal was Indiana Jones meets James Bond meets Monkey Man. It was a totally ridiculous show about some British Professor teaching at New York University while stopping crime and espionage by turning into a monkey, babboon, eagle, wolf, leopard, etc. It was incredibly silly, and it had an interesting cast that made you wonder why they were on such a silly show. It might have succeeded as some kind of Rowan Atkinson comedy. As a serious Science Fiction TV show it was goofy at best, back when special effects on TV were really bad. On the other hand, if someone did it today, with a topical subject (such as British Professor cover for an anti-terrorist secret agent-mutant); it would be worth watching! But back in 1983, crime-fighting monkeys & leopards were too far ahead of their time??
