Info

Night Man is an American action/adventure/sci-fi series that aired in syndication from September 15, 1997 to May 17, 1999. The series is loosely based on a comic book published by Malibu Comics and was created by Steve Englehart and developed for television by Glen A. Larson. It stars Matt McColm as the title character, a superhero whose real name was Johnny Domino, a saxophonist. Englehart would write three episodes of the series. Night Man is also one of the few series to cross over with characters from Larson's previous series: in the episode "Manimal", Johnny allies with Professor Jonathan Chase, the star of the short-lived 1980s' series Manimal.

Night Man Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Usama Zahid This Show kicks like a true superhero and a heroic Badass!. Yes NightMan is an amazing and exciting TV show ever, hell it was loosely based of the Malibu and Marvel comic book of the same name and also not only made it's character hero's first debut in the Ultraforce cartoon episode entitled "Night and the NightMan", but also made a crossover episode with another TV Show that came before NightMan and made an episode based of that show entitled "Manimal". And that cartoon also kicked ass as well. I used to watch this show as a kid, and I loved both Marvel and DC comic shows come to life.Now granted that it's a guilty pleasure but hey it's a ton of fun and I haven't watched a lot of the other NightMan Episodes but parts of what made this show awesome the Character, The powers the Music and the Choreography was amazing too. Notably one of my favorite of all the NightMan Episodes including the actress I liked besides the Main Actor Matt McColm, is Jacinda Barrett's appearance in my favorite episode entitled, "Do you believe in Magic?" in which featured NightMan taking on a Sorceress which reminds me of another TV Show, The Loic and Clark New Adventures of Superman. in which Superman(Dean Cain(Also portrayed Vandal Savage in Smallville)) takes on a witch who kidnaps Lois Lane in luring Superman into a trap in which both differently shared a connection.So My final Verdict for NightMan in which by the way, is a 10/10! with a "BADASS!!!" Seal of approval. it is an amazing show and I highly recommend my friends to watch it so much and is an enjoyable experience.
ncsumath83 I will not hold the producers of this series accountable for the drastic changes made to the character of The Night Man. In the comic books all he has is the one power, and though it is a really cool power, it is not extremely valuable on its own. The plot line of a first season episode actually revolves around this somewhat humbling fact. Because of this, The Night Man is not what you might call "made for TV", so I think some changes had to be made so that his character would look good in a Fantasy/SciFi/action genre. On a syndicated budget, this is a very tall order, yielding the cheesy results that have been mentioned in other posts. As far as the acting, it may not have been award-winning, but neither was it career-killing, and the music was excellent, thanks to Marc Bonilla. The writers did do a poor job with continuity, and some of the dialog seems a bit forced, but that just makes it even cheesier and thus much more enjoyable if you are in the mood for it. Syndicated TV series have, for a long time, been providing cheap thrills and guilty pleasures. At this, The Night Man series excels, making it a show well worth watching.
onionbails Fantastic show, for the reasons that all others have disliked it. It's cheesy, very predictable, and great fun to watch because it's so poor. I cannot say anything positive about the quality of acting or production, (and the the blue-screen flying sequences are some of the worst I have ever seen!), yet the overall appeal comes from the enjoyment of seeing such low quality pulp TV. Surely to become a cult classic, as long as audiences don't take it too seriously, or expect too much!
Dave How do shows like this keep getting renewed when good shows like Brimstone are cancelled without giving it a chance to live? that's the question you'll be asking yourself after watching one of these episodes. This series is based on the Malibu created/ owned by marvel comics character. a character that quite frankly no one liked in the first place. The special effects are cheesy, the editing is just chillingly bad, the story is just garbage and the acting...well if i had my way i would ban these guys from ever working again in hollywood or i could just look at them and say you're doing this on purpose right?I talked to one fan of this series and asked her why she even watched it. she told me "its like a car wreck its horrible but you just cant move until its over".
