No problem. I already said that I was a Trekkie. And while I'm not a die-hard fan, I am enough of a fan to have all that stuff. That's good enough for me.

Well, I can say I love Apes as part of my overall love of most everything of 70's Kid pop culture.
As a kid, Ape movies on TV were events and I always watched them. Never knew about the TV show and caught the cartoon by mistake around the end of it's run.
I did want Ape toys but I didn't have much lobbying power for toys and choose toys from my first love, Star Trek most of the time. Also, I only got to see toys in department stores and drug stores (never really got to go to toy stores) and they never seemed to have that much in the way of Apes at least when I looked.
Getting the collecting Megos in the 80's fired my up for Apes as I was able to find the Mego toys and rejoice in getting stuff that slipped thorugh my fingers as a child.
In the 80's I recorded the movies, the TV movies (compilations of two TV show episodes) and I got up at 7:30 am Saturday morning to tape the animated Apes cartoons off of WPIX without the commercials.
One of the sets I got when I got my DVD player was the Planet Of The Apes movie set and when they did an upgrade years later I bought that too (in the Ape head).
I'm short of being a hard core fan (collecting ape stuff doesn't go much beyond Megos and the videos) but I am more than a fair weather fan as well.Comment

I've been an obsessive POTA fan since the early 70's. The '68 film is my favorite movie of all time.Comment

pretty big fan i guess!
I'm a big fan, but not anything similiar to a Trekkie. I own all the Pota movies on DVD, also behind the POTA, the toons & the TV series. I have some of the ape megos, but due to a lack of funds i do not own many i'm searching for.
I did not like the POTA remake at all. I hope that we will get a cool old school style apes film in our life time. I also wish they would do the apes re-issues like they did for star trek.
I'm still not happy that they never gave us a finale to the TV series, the show just sort of stopped.Comment

Well lets put it this way,
I have well over 1000+ films in my library but if my wife told me that I had to get rid of all of them but a few. The Planet of the apes films, tv series, and cartoons would be staying!

Tv Series No Finale That Sucks!!!
I'm always keeping my fingers crossed that maybe Fox will wake up and see that the POTA means tons of Moola $$$ and gives us either a new movie, but not a sequel to the crappy re-make or i would love to see a cool sci-Fi channel TV series.
And talking about the original not having a finale , I would like to see someone make up a finale to that show in comic book format or a cartoon.

Actually, there is one sort of finale done in a comic, drawn by excellent APES artist Neil Foster and written by Michael Whitty... It's titled "GOING HOME"... If nothing else, the artwork will blow you away (and ABMAC can vouche for me on that one). If you join up with the potaDG, they will be able to tell you all about it:
There was also one other fan created comic involving a finale for the TV series, but it's name escapes me... The art is top-notch, but the story leaves a lot to be desired... He tried to involve too many elements from the films and TV series and really ended up with a mangled mess that made no real sense... I am sure that it can still be seen at the TV series websight:

was going home printed?
Was that comic " Going home " printed like a comic book? Or is it an online thing? Audio?
Thanks!

I'm a BIG P.O.T.A fan too!!!
I remember my brother and I watched POTA movies at Theaters and on the TV series in the 70's. We love to watched them every nights, never stop watched. My mother told us go to bed! and we ignored her and keep watched till it's over then we went back to bed.

I'm also not afraid to admit that one of my first big crushes was on Zira.
When Taylor kisses her near the end of the film, to be honest...I got a tad bit jealous.
