Reception and Cancellation
Manimal was scheduled opposite CBS's popular soap opera Dallas, and was canceled after eight episodes due to low ratings. However, Manimal was very popular in a number of other countries where it was broadcast.
Manimal was a part of NBC's 1983 fall line-up which also featured eight other series that were cancelled before their first seasons ended (including Jennifer Slept Here, Bay City Blues, and We Got It Made).
TV Guide ranked Manimal number 15 on their list of the 50 Worst TV Shows of All Time in 2002.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
