Just when you thought it was over…we’re back with more Damn Dirty Apes episodes! When the producer of the original Planet of the Apes film series passed away, his production company sold the rights to 20th Century Fox Studios. Stuck with the rights to a film franchise that had diminishing returns, 20th Century Fox decided that the next logical step was to take the apes to the small screen. In 1974, The Planet of the Apes television show debuted in September, failed to find an audience, and ended up being cancelled by December. On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast Kristian chats with Joe Slepski (of the Joe on Joe Podcast) and PTF regular Yvis Cannavale about the first three episodes of the POTA TV show. They discuss why the show might not have caught on with viewers, whether this new series is set in a completely new continuity from the films, and what could have possibly made the show a better watch.
Note: On this episode, Kristian had to use an alternate Microphone so the quality of his recording is a bit different this week than usual.
