When I was a kid we couldn't look at the ape movies because my mom was afraid of them.

I really, really wanted that tree house. Never got one though.

I think the series, and the franchise, would have fared MUCH better had the series been a Saturday morning program. 8pm, Fridays was a good time slot, but I just think kids would have swarmed to the show. The movies had already headed in a more kid-oriented directio.
Heck, I don't really remember the series, but I remember wanting Ape stuff well into the 70's. If I had had a Saturday morning promotional pushing me…

That POTA game makes a cameo (along with some other cool stuff) 33 secondes into the Purple Toupee video by They Might Be Giants

Damn... I was born in time for Star Wars, but born too late for POTA! I too watched the series when City TV would run their Ape marathons, but I was way too young to really understand it. Now, I really get the series, but this stuff is way too pricey in the collector's market! sad face :(
I better start working on the time machine and cash in on these deals :)
