        I like the TV series

        It's kind of redundant though

        1. On the run
        2. Help someone
        3. Get caught
        4. Escape
        5. Learn all apes aren't bad
        6. Back on the run
        7. Repeat

        Same plot as Land of the Giants

            i have always loved the TV show. it did get a bit repetitive though. would have been better if they allowed Burke and Verdon to use guns and actually shoot an ape now and then, since they were being hunted after all

              Yeah I hate redundant, that's why......
              My favorite Gilligans island episode is the one where they almost get off the island and Gilligan screws it up.
              My favorite 3's company is the one where the roomates have a misunderstanding
              My favorite Home improvement is the one when Tim and his wife fight and Wilson sets Tim straight
              My favorite Incredible Hulk is the one where David befriends someone in trouble and Hulks out twice.

                      Wow, just think. Sitting down with a full box of POTA TV DVD's, having never seen them and getting to experience them for the first time. Sounds like a little slice of heaven to me.

                      Reminds me of an something similar many years ago. I am a huge Magnum PI fan. I watched the series from beginning to end and never missed an episode... WELL, almost never. I did miss a few, including one or two that were pivotal to the series' twists and turns. I actually taped every show on BETA. Years after the show ended, I somehow got in touch with other Magnum fans who had tapes of the show, but were also missing a few eps. We worked out a deal to trade tapes so we could all fill in the gaps from our collection. You can not imagine the thought of getting to sit down and watch Magnum episodes that I had never seen. I honestly couldn't sleep waiting for those tapes to arrive. I took a vacation day from work and spent a day watching them. I'd be in the same boat if a "lost" POTA episode was found today. Although, with the age of instant video via the internet/youtube, I wouldn't have to wait to watch it.

                        Turn down the volume on the opening credits of the TV series and play The Beastie Boys' "Sabotage."

                        Trust me.

                            It was a fun show.

                            The plots were very thin looking back, but still fun.
