Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In 1974, a short-lived series was released based on the Planet of the Apes franchise. It ran for 14 episodes before being cancelled.Joe Ruby and Ken Spears were brought in by then-CBS head Fred Silverman to serve as story consultants, due to the allure of the premise to children.The plot is simple; on August 19, 1980, two astronauts—Burke (James Naughton) and Virdon (Ron Harper)—encounter a space-time warp whilst exploring space near Alpha Centauri, causing them to crash upon an alien world that they soon discover is actually a post-apocalyptic Earth in the year 3085, where a civilization of bipedal apes now rules over a cowed and submissive humanity. Escaping the cabal of orangutans who seek to execute them for fear that they will spark rebellion amongst the native humans with the aid of a sympathetic chimpanzee named Galen (Roddy McDowall), they go on the run, drifting randomly across the known world of the ape-ruled territories in hopes of finding some way to return to their own time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Aliens Speaking English: Strictly speaking, this goes for the humans. After a thousand years, linguistic drift should have made their English near-incomprehensible to the apes and other humans. | |

All There in the Manual: The only clue we have about how the series might have ended comes from a series of spots shot for the TV movies, "hosted" by Galen. Apparently, Burke and Virdon escaped, although we don't know if they made it back to 1980. Here's the final spot. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Planet of the Apes / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity/Alternate Universe: To the rest of the original film continuity, possibly. The series is set chronologically before the first two movies and after all the later ones (the television series is set in 3085 while the first two movies were in 3978-79 (possibly 3955) and the later movies were in the late 20th/early 21st century). Humans still speak, unlike the earlier films. The time apes took over is different from the films as apparently human society survived until at least 2503. Not helping this out is uncertainty around the nature of time in the movies generally (with much fan debate over whether it's a circular time loop or history was changed during the films). Dialogue in Escape from the Planet of the Apes implied that it took centuries after apes started being used for pets before they took over which would have been consistent with the TV series' timeline, but the final two films showed apes taking over much sooner. It could be that series is supposed to be set in the films' continuity, before the original films, in the original timeline before history was changed (assuming it was), at some point before humans stopped speaking. Alternatively, it may just be an alternate universe where the world being ruled by apes is basically the only thing in common with the film continuity. The show never gave enough detail to make either answer clear. | |
