Picked up all 5 movies, the documentary, the tv show, and the cartoon series last spring... we had a HUGE marathon of our own in May. It was fun b/c my son had never seen it before. He loved it! It was almost like seeing it for he first time.
My GF got me The Ultimate 14 DVD collection in Casear Bust for Xmas. I LOVE IT!!!!!!! It has all 5 movies, the new Movie, the TV Series, and the Cartoon series. I was totally surprised when I opened it Xmas Day.
Well, I guess I will be soaking up the films on that day. It's great to have it play in the background when you're sewing an ape outfit. It really gets you in the mood.
I already have the VHS of all the 5 films, but there's added excitement about it when it's shown on tv.
I recorded all 5 movies in letterbox, plus Behind the POTA when Roddy McDowall was hosting this event (RIP) for the 30th Anniversary on AMC a few years back. I also recorded all of the TV series w/ Roddy's commentary from the Sci-Fi channel. Though it is exciting watching this in real time, I don't know if I'll have time this year.
APES RULE!

Cool! I'll tune in. I'm still hoping we get a real POTA movie again. I would like to see it pick up where Battle left off though. I dont care for the most recent movie.
Yes, commercials are a major annoyance--as welcome as accidentally chewing on a bit of tinfoil--but I guess it's ok because you have to refill the bowl of popcorn, right?
I am glad they are doing a POTA marathon but sometimes the picture quality of the movies are not the best, but hey at least they are showing it. Does anyone else think the POTA TV series was underrated? I remember being super psyched as a kid that they were doing a TV series based on the movies. Those are the best memories of being young, I do not think kids these days get excited about anything like we did, they sure can not fathom only having 4-5 channels on the TV. Ah, the good old days of the early 70's.
sigpic Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is Bowling. There are rules.

Amen and pass the biscuits! And I love the 70s series. Sometimes I'll pop in a tape I made of the show and pull out the Megos!
And I was lucky, 'cos when I taped these movies from AMC, it was before they showed commercials.
