    People not alive in the 1970s need to be aware that Planet Of The Apes didn't just have one TV series, but it had two. Between 1968 and 1975 the only year without a new Apes movie or TV series release was 1969. It was a juggernaut of entriees with increasingly smaller budgets.

    Man, the astronauts that returned after nine months in space must feel like a scene straight out of the movie The Planet of the Apes. They return to a chaotic strange country overtaken by primates with an orange leader. 🙁

    I remember talking to an adult about Planet of the Apes when I was a kid, and I mentioned that he died in the second movie, and they said “Yeah, that’s not really much of a loss” Didn’t get why they were so callous about it until I grew up and learned everything about him

    Oh gawd this show. In 1975, sci-fi fans were desperate for tv & film. We had Star Trek reruns, on heavy rotation, that was it. Film was no better. Planet of the Apes sequels. Between 2001 (and some others) in 1968 & Star Wars in 1977, it was a desert. So the idiotic Space:1999 was a must watch!

    Been rereading Marvel's Planet of the Apes magazine & just hit the last issue. It's been fun. The adaptation of Battle departed from the film more than any others (spoilers below, if interested). An original story last issue FINALLY introduced a smart & noble gorilla soldier, which was refreshing.
