This was a used copy - the box was not nice but the CD's were fine
 A rare TV jewel of the 70s October 17, 2008
Adrian H. De Vega (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
I just rediscovered this show, I watched it as a kid when it came up and did not remember much. The series deserves watching, while it may suffer sometimes of "fugitives on the run" plot, the stories are well develop and thought provoking. At the time it should have been very expensive to make, we see almost none stock footage here, stories are based more in dialogs than action, the makeup of the apes are great and performances of the actors are top notch. I regret not having a closure of the adventures of Galen, Virdon and Burke, but who knows....
Oh, Sweet Memories October 1, 2008

I was 10 years old in 1974 and remember fondly watching this series and was sad when it was canceled prematurely.
Watching them again on DVD is really fun and although the stories and plots are simplistic, to a child they are pure fantasy and fun.
There seems to be some harmless racist undertones (especially in the episode "The Deception") , I just ignore them and enjoy the shows for what they are.
Also excellent picture and sound !!

In a time where " reality " TV seems to be all we get from the networks, remember when they actually made show we watched? This above average series was on only one season, and has series original actor Roddy McDowell in the cast. It's little short lived gems like this I would have assumed would never get a DVD release let along a definative one that looks and sounds so good. If you love "Planet of the Apes" then you must have these lovingly restored from TV episodes.Show the bigs that we will repond if they open up the vaults and treat us ( the public ) with these television obscurities.
A FUN TV SERIES April 28, 2008
JACK LOBO (Greenwich,CT USA)
This show could have been more in depth to coincide with the first film and may have recieved the adult audience the sponsors were looking for. They instead took what they thought was the logical approach by loosely continuing the premise of the final film "Battle For The...". The show could have went on a little longer had they simply chosen to switch to a different time slot. It was up against Sanford And Son and Chico And The Man. Two very popular shows for middle aged America. Science fiction/ fantasy tv did not get the respect it deserved on network television. That's why shows like UFO and Space:1999 were packaged and sold to local stations. Even Star Trek didn't gain it's immense popularity till it started airing on local TV stations. CBS snuck in the fantasy approach again with The Incredible Hulk. They did it with subtleness. Had they tried to recreate the comic book premise the show would not have lasted one season, if it would have been picked up at all. I was fourteen when this show came out. Believe me this show thrilled me so much that right before the show began and the commercials in between I was standing in front of the toilet bowl. I leave this little review with one question. Can anyone tell me what is the difference between this set and the one released in 2001? Since the covers look exactly the same will I notice the difference when I see it in the store?
