    • Trivia
      Though uncredited, Rod Serling wrote the original treatment and two proposed scripts for this series, essentially creating the basic format followed by the program, two astronauts and one chimpanzee pursued by the Apes civilization. However, his storyline involving the magnetic disc ended up being dropped by the show's writers, putting an end to the series' only story arc.
    • Goofs
      In many of the interior close-up shots, the actors' own teeth are visible behind the teeth of their ape masks.
    • Quotes

      Urko: These humans are dangerous, don't you understand that? They think that they're as good as we are!

    • Alternate versions
      In 1981, selected episodes were re-edited into five made for TV movies: Back to the Planet of the Apes (1981) Forgotten City of the Planet of the Apes (1981) Treachery and Greed on the Planet of the Apes (1981) Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of the Planet of the Apes (1981) Farewell to the Planet of the Apes (1981). One episode, "The Liberator," was not aired during the original network run, but was aired in the UK and made its US debut in the 1990s.

    No escape...

    I have just finished watching the Planet of the Apes Tv series, which I decided to do since I happen to be a great fun of the original movie.

    Watching it definetly did not let me down, as I was always interested to follow the adventurers in the endless trouble they got into all the time and good job was made to make sure viewers would be interested throughout.

    The only downfall was that the original idea of the astronauts to escape and find some computer from the old days an establish what really happened was abandoned, therefore downgrading the plot.
