Ever wondered what ever became of Manimal, the one season wonder series from 1983? There's actually an answer.

Series creator Glen A. Larson disliked leaving the plot threads from that series hanging, and was able to devote an episode of his superhero show, Nightman, 15 years later in 1998, to a crossover with Manimal (Season 2, Episode 6, and it's available for viewing via streaming). It's rather like that episode Kolchak the Night Stalker was on the X-Files.

Original actor Simon McCorkindale reprised his 1980s role as the protean titular transformer to team up with Nightman. In this one, Manimal and Nightman use a crystal to travel back to the 19th Century and fight Jack the Ripper together.

The real star of the show was Manimal's daughter, however, who we discover inherited her father's Druidic Manimal powers. Larson has said that he intended the episode as a possible backdoor pilot for a series about the Daughter of Manimal.
