this be a really good show that should have give ape fan more episode to enjoy . it be a shame that only 14 or so be produce . each episode have an interesting story line that provide the viewer insight to the ape culture . the two main lead be very likable and have flaw that require the help or encouragement of the other . roddy mcdowall do a fine job play the sympathetic ape and galen . the show do not try to mimic the film but create it own story line in an ape set that be set apart from the film . i would have like to have see more story involve this trio and perhaps even some type of resolution or conclusion to allen and burke continual evasion from the ape .
