Planet of the Apes was typical 70's TV fare, with each and every episode following the exact same formula and never diverting from it. It got old quick, and I don't think the series as a whols very good. IMO, it's on par with Land of the Giantts. But you know what? I will probably wind up buying it....(hangs head shamefully!)

I wonder if this means BATMAN (1960s) could be next...

I thought I read the animated series was also included on this DVD, but I went back and the word was ACCLAIMED! Oh, dang. And that was the motivation for me to get it. I will have to think about this one now. Anybody here old enough to remember the show without rose colored nostolgia? I want to know if it was any good.
