The series was to be 24 episodes but only 14 were made before it was cancelled. After their spacecraft travels through a time warp, two astronauts (Ron Harper and James Naughton) from 1981 crash land back on Earth in the year 3085 - a time when intelligent apes rule and humans have been reduced to servants or pets. Captured by the apes and sentenced to death, they are saved by a curious chimpanzee named Galen (Roddy McDowall). But now all three are on the run, trying to keep one step ahead of the gorilla army led by General Urko (Mark Lenard), who is determined to kill the renegades! The series then followed the fugitives as they tried to stay ahead of the gorillas, and usually imparted some type of morality with each episode. Susieg |

I never got to see this show,so thank you for the info on that. As with many shows at the time this did not fare well and although not everyones cup of tea I enjoyed it very much. Roddy McDowall went back to the ape make up to play the part of Galen which he did very well. www.theforbidden-zone.com/ A great site for info on the entire franchise Susieg |

SUSIEG,
Once again, PLANET OF THE APES™ worked for me because it had great theme music.
When I was younger, the fact that each of the characters portrayed by MR. RODDY McDOWALL had the same accent & vocal timbre confused the films’ & series’ chronology in my mind, but my entertainment experience was in no way lessened by that fact.

I adore this show, and was absolutely thrilled when it came out on DVD a few years ago. I think you can pick it up pretty cheaply now.
