Once upon a time it required significant effort to keep up with the few sci-fi series that were out there, but these days DVD collections and such have made me lazy. Sometimes being able to watch it when you want means never having to actually watch it now. Back in the day, all you had was the precious "now". <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-24531339914935207032016-06-25T03:22:08.896-04:002016-06-25T03:22:08.896-04:00I deeply regret not having the PotA mags in my col...I deeply regret not having the PotA mags in my collection.

Not a big deal for most 8-9 year olds, but my dad was a football coach so negotiations were off the table. <br /><br />Fortunately, the CBS station in my area saw fit to replay them on Saturday nights, so I guess one of the programming people must have had a kid my age at home in the same predicament. I was able to see them all and was sad to see it get cancelled.

I'd have been 8 years old then, and wide-eyed for all things Ape. I have few memories of the individual shows, save the episode where one of the good guys is trapped in a scene reminiscent of the underground NYC of Beneath. As I recall, he happens to be trapped with Urko, so there was quite a bit of tension as the two try to set aside their difference in order to make an effort to escape.<br /><br />Doug Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-59311543749957082792016-06-24T08:42:41.564-04:002016-06-24T08:42:41.564-04:00The POTA TV show was broadcast on British TV just ...The POTA TV show was broadcast on British TV just four weeks after its' American debut which was incredibly fast - by contrast Star Trek took three years to arrive here. I'd never heard of Planet Of The Apes before and I was blown away by episode 1 of the TV show...talking apes, wow !! Only six days later Marvel UK's POTA weekly was launched and that was my introduction to the world of Marvel comics. By the way, on British TV all 14 episodes were broadcast from October 1974 to January 1975.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
