What Happened to the PLANET Of The APES TV Series? 

That was another great series. The movie was I believe, produced by Dan Curtis who did Dark Shadows?

Oh wow, I didn't realize that :-) I'll have to do a video on that show. Thanks for the support, Dan

@@jamesphilip6737 You are correct.

Another great show that got canceled before its time.

I loved that show!

(Oh, and regarding the semi-brain-dead animated series? "The Apefather" line in one of the episodes. 'Nuff said).

Kolchak was amazing Sci fi for a young person back then.

To bryanconnors333. I'm so glad that there are people like you and i who grew up in the 70s with the greatest shows. Another of my very favorates ' The Night Stalker's. I would have been about 8 years old watching that which was scary back in the day but was still drawn like moth to a flame to watch. I thought that show was cut short. Love it as always 🦘🐨.👍

@@George-pp2hr: Oh to be a child of the '70s. Cheers.

I was 9 years old. Born in 1965. I remember watching "Helter Skelter" on TV 📺. It scared 😱 the hell out of me. My Uncle Jay lived behind the " labeanca" house in Hollywood. A few years after the murders.

Yea, like the original j. quest, I think only 24

That's killer

Haha not sure if that's good or bad LOL:-) Dan

Hopefully they're good ones. 🫡

S&H came out the following year. They were V&B wanna bes.

Omg. Facts. Crazy. Thanks for picking up on that. Bravo.

Loved POTA and S & H, but never would have made that connection! 😂

Disagree to me Galen was nothing like Huggy Bear.Huggy was a lot shiftier and had many underworld connections while Galen was a member of the hierarchy establishment until he went on the run with Virdon and Burke.To me there are no similarities at all between Galen and Burke and as much as I love both shows how anyone can see a similarity between those two characters is beyond my understanding

@@michaelconlon8960 Agree. Apart from the hair colour, there was no similarity. Not in the characters, not in the settings, not in the pretty much anything.

Here in the USA it was on FRIDAY nights.

I liked the short lived series Fantastic Journey. I read on several different websites that she died from cancer but Wikipedia shows her still alive, age 72 and married and living in Studio City California.

The original Logan's run is still one of my favorites, me and brother saw it that summer it was released many times at Robert e Lee theater in BR. on plank close to hollywood

Yup, the original film is only thing that ever comes to mind when I think of Planet of the Apes.

Exactly POTA from 1968 thur 1974 were the BEST remakes not the same I grew up with the originals born 1965 I was 3 in '68 and 9 in '74 POTA are my all time favorites along with Kolchak the night stalker TV series and the first two movies The Night Stalker (1972) and The Night Strangler (1973).

Despite Hestons "acting".

Matt Reeves’s two films are very good though

Wow, I never realized that was him.

Yeah, definitely died too early :-( thanks for the support :-) Dan

Yeah, remember Quark? I can't even find proof that that show even existed.

Yea, my big sister took me and brother to see jaws 75, bad news bears 76, and star wars 77 all on opening night, and we did fire up on the way.

ABC sent about the same letter to me when I belonged to a group trying to Kolchak : The Night Stalker about the same time. Everybody in the group got the same form letter.

I was 13, loved the series

Why can,t the local stations do that anymore.

Great memories from CBS back in the day :-) love it. Dan

I remember in the late 1970s early 1980s my aunt loved the Apes films. In Pittsburgh, they ran the films often.

Excellent work

The problem with it is, it can’t be the same Dr. Zaius. There was no attempt to make the two characters look the same (even though thy were two different actors, the makeup could have at least been made to look the same,) the original two films took place on the east coast, the tv series on the west coast, communication between the coasts was probably non-existent, and no character from the films appears in the tv show (except Zaius, who I believe really isn’t the same character.) in addition, they were all dead after the first two films when people couldn’t speak, but in the tv series they could. The show must take place in the time loop between Battle For the Planet Of The Apes and the original film. The reference to other astronauts doesn’t make sense unless it happened a third time. None of this adds up to him being the same Dr. zaius. Possibly the tv show Zaius is an ancestor, or maybe just a more common name? Timeline repeating time loop: 3084 TV series 3950 POTA 3955 Beneath 1973 Escape 1991 Conquest 2001 Battle for 2600 Lawgiver speech bookending Battle 3979 Cartoon Cycle repeats. The odd one out is the cartoon. It features Zira, Cornelius, Zaius, Yet takes place in the timeline after the earth is destroyed. Unless it’s a separate timeline. It would have made more sense had it taken place a few years before the tv series. At least then it COULD be what Zaius refers to as astronauts landing a few years before in the tv series. I’m saying the tv show HAS to occur long before the original film before humans lost the power of speech and intelligence.

Oh wow that is really cool. That must mean it's still in syndication?

It was on MeTv a couple of years ago on Saturday night at 3 in the morning.

@@davidmitchell6873 It could very well have been on my local MeTv, I can't be sure. If I had seen the Apes episode too recently, I would switch stations and watch The Green Hornet :)

@@MoviesMusicMonsters We have 2 "classis TV" ota stations here so someone sure had the rights :) They didn't look remastered but they were darn good quality.

Those were the days weren't they? :-) Dan

Hell yeah, I loved Night Stalker!

Problem was there was no way to watch more than one show at a time, you had to choose one and go with it.

@@juanelevin1114 where I lived, they were on at different times, so it was possible to watch both.

That's really cool to know :-) Dan

​@@MoviesMusicMonstersI don't like the sequels to the original film, but I actually like the series.

@@ShinobiShaman if you discount the Tim Burton remake film and look at the new (Andy Serkis) films as the history that Cornelius and Zira explain when under aresst, they can fit in a time line

Natalie Trundy had Roles in Four of the Planet of the Apes films. She played a Mutant in Beneath, A Doctor who befriends Cornelius and Zira in Escape, and a Female Ape who was a love Interest for Ceasar in Conquest and Battle.

It's still on. I watch it on one of my Roku channels and RU-vid.

I was the same age as you ! I hated sports though.

That's so cool .Huge fan of Mark . His performances on star trek incredible and mission impossible. I loved him in planet of the Apes .

After it aired here in the USA ; Fall thru Christmas 1974: it was TOTALLY FORGOTTEN.

Awesome :-) and regards from New York :-) Dan

It will be woke, PC and unwatchable.

The apes will all be female as will the astronauts 🫤🤦‍♀️🙄

Yeah,same here, buddy shows were big then .

Yeah, 70s dark guy and blonde guy phenomenon. Even Dukes of Hazard got in on it.

I have zero expectations.

Yeah, I hate Disney and always have. Over-rated nonsense all of it. Disney f%#ks everything up...and it's taking over the World, can't anybody see that... Not that I'm PARANOID you understand?😂

Haha :-) yes I see the similarities

Yeah, would have been nice if they had pursued some of those storylines but, it is what it is :-) thanks for the support, Dan

Most of the time back then most shows were episodic, and not a story arc, except for soap operas. It made them easier to sell because it didn’t matter if you missed an episode. I do wish it ran for a full season, and we got to see the plot of “The legacy” actually mean something. They just ran out of time. They were still making episodes when it was canceled.

You got to see the 6 million episode where Austin uses his bionic arm , mainly hand as an impact wrench on head bolts on aircraft engine then runs across field with motor on back, my ole man was like what the f. is going on, it was hilarious.

Roddy was a cool dude !!!! Love the shades 😀

Yeah comma I've been looking to do a video on Logan's run period but it seems like they suffered the same fate period Fate

Thanks, I did assume that. But you can't even find it to watch anywhere. It's like it never existed. Lol

The Logan series was also getting better as it went on.... really the world was a little bitty bit closer to the second book....we need a Real Logan Run movie... with CGI it could happen... just my opinion

Yeah, it could be. But remember the movies were really popular at this point. I just think putting it on Friday night was a death sentence. Tuesdays at 7:30 might have been a whole different show.

That was a new fact to me too.

Hey, thank you so much. The support is appreciated:-) Dan

I am VERY surprised that you got it in 1974! Here in the USA , it was Fall 1974. I wonder if you got it LATE in 1974. UK normally gets USA shows MUCH later. And vice versa. We did not get Monty Python until 1975/76. But we did get Space : 1999 when it was brand new.

@@LannieLord I just looked it up and was 13th October 1974 till January 1975 never seen it since. Loved it !!

Did the UK get the Kolchak The Night Stalker series too ? @@paulsowney771

Those Marvel Ape comics ROCK!

I was 11 - very disappointed!

Hey dave, thanks so much :-)

…or the Invisible Man tv series

By this time Roddy McDowell was a cult figure.

If it was done today it wouldn't be the same. At least to me. However, there are good short stories on it and the movies. Specifically in the 2017 book "Planet of the Apes: Tales of the Forbidden Zone," edited by Rich Handley and Jim Beard. The one story on the TV series was good but left you hanging. It was suppose to be continued in a sequel to the book, but Beard told me the 2nd book idea was dropped.

Hey, thank you so much. Yes that makeup was supposedly stolen and used on Lost in Space without permission, I understand there was quite an issue with it :-) I'll definitely touch on that in the future, thanks for the support :-) Dan

That was a GLORIOUS Year 1974! And how awesome was it that Apes and Kolchak were on the same night !?

The following Monday at school all we talked about was Night Stalker.

Yeah, I'm looking at Logan's Run right now. What a history :-) I'm definitely going to do one in the next month on Logan's Run

ahh, now thats some true apey world logic
