Burke tells Urko that he came from the time when the subway station
was built. He also refers to the ads as some of the wonders of his
world so I don't think he was just relating what he read in a book.

Other than the 'Go Ape!' festival in theaters I don't remember CBS
doing anything more than they did for other new shows debuting that
year.
However, the series was originally scheduled for Tuesday nights. At the
last minute Fred Silverman switched it to Fridays. The show Good Times
had been in the Friday slot and had done well the previous year. So the
reasoning for switching the two shows is still a bit fuzzy. Now the
question is would the POTA done better on Tuesdays against Happy Days,
which was not yet a hit but was gaining in popularity. Good Times held
its own against Happy Days for a few years. Would POTA have done better
or worse?

I think you're confusing William Paley with Fred Silverman who was
President of CBS at the time. Paley and his wife were the champions of
the show. Roddy even mentions Mrs. Paley as such in the interview on
the Behind extras disc.

I think it is more than a theory. Fred Silverman the President of CBS
at the time resented having the show forced on him by the Paleys. He
is the person responsible for moving the show from Tuesday to Friday
where it was up against two of the hottest comedies of the time.

I don't know if you can say that Escape took about a week. We are never
told how long it was after Hasslien got Zira drunk he met with the
President. It could have been the next day or weeks later. We are also
never told how after that Hasslien presents his case to the commission
or how long the commission took to approve Hasslien's proposals. There
could have been weeks of meetings and debate on the issue. What we do
know is that when Hasslien got Zira drunk, she was not yet showing. But
when we next see here, being driven to the Army camp by Dr. Dixon, she
is showing. So it suggests that some considerable time has past. We
also don't know how long C&Z were held in the army camp. The
interrogation scene could have taken place on their first day there or
weeks later. It is really unclear over what period of time Escape takes
place.

No, Paley's wife was the one who pushed to get the series on the air.
Go to disc 2 of the Behind special edition. Roddy talks about Mrs.
Paley and how she was the champion of the show. The real villian was
Fred Silverman who resented having the show forced on him and then put
it on Fridays to kill it.

Aha!! The plot thickens! You're right about my crappy memory, it was,
I think, Silverman who hated Apes.If HE made the decision to alter
the scheduling, it clearly wasn't for reasons friendly to Apes.I just
can't see why the series gets criticised so much--growing up, as a
loyal little monkey, it was years before I saw the shows again.When I
did, I was amazed at just how good they are. It was clearly a party
line message to say 'crap show, crap ratings'and cancel it.The
ratings were marginal for a cancellation--it was not a foregone
conclusion that the show had to end and it's suiggested that the
producers made a couple more shows even after getting word of the
cancellation, suggesting the studio couldn't wait to kill the
show.There seem to have been forces involved who didn't want the Apes
show, and succeeded in killing it.Damn them, damn them ....oh you
know the rest! John.

I'd like to see it. I've never been quite sure how good the dvd images
are for Burton's Apes--maybe it IS that dark, but chunks of it look
wrong. If they're doing this, we may have the hope for a full release
of the original movies---restored footage, commentaries etc.? I was
looking at Eric's book this week and the image of the cut opening scene
from Conquest with the shot gorilla is chilling, but was clearly filmed
and must exist somewhere.I still hope for more Apes stuff, and if Apes
2001 is the start, I'll buy it. John, Scrolls.

I don't think so...I think the problem was the small minds in
charge...TV was too "formulated", as in "good guy being always chased
by bad guy"..."Good guy meets new person, but must leave"...That
started with "The Fugitive" and "Run for Your Life", and continued
through "Logan's Run" and "Planet of the Apes"...

    Wait a moment...

    Did the series "fruit" good ratings anyway, or was it an absolute
    fiasco? After all, in UK it was an istant hit, and even in the
    States it managed to earn a "cult status" of some sort (retained
    still today).

    So was it a moderate success in U.S.A, promotional push or not?

    I remember reading somewhere that the network target audience of the
    70's was very different than it is now, that the show received high
    ratings with young viewers, but at the time the skew was away from
    them... If the show had aired now, with the same results, it would be
    considered a huge success...

    There is no mediocre remake. Only a gallant attempt to recreate a
    classic. Unfortunately, we took it the wrong way and ended up hating
    it because our beauties were not in it...

    I predict that Tim Burton's movie will be soon regarded as a small
    cult-flick of some sort.

    It was a compelling "remake" of the ORIGINAL BOOK.

    I see no wrong in it.

    I always though if they were targeting kids why not move the show to Saturday mornigs/afternoon? Was it that the show was too much $$$ for a Saturday morning?
    Also,there where live action show on in that era on Saturdays.. Shazam , Land of the Lost. Kroft shows, etc.......

    It's the penultimate chapter of Quest for the Planet of the Apes, now available to download in issue 106 on Hunter's site. The issue also contains another chapter in the Planet adaptation. This chapter includes a scene cut from the final film.
     
    Come back next week for the stunning conclusion of Quest.

    Hello!, my name is Leo Seddon, I'm 13 nearly 14 here, and I love
    Planet of the apes, I have the collector's edition dvd set, the
    complete T.V.series and have borrowed Tim Burton's remake from a
    friend. I could do with getting 'Return' too, if it's avalible that
    is. I first found out about Planet of the apes when I was five back in
    1998, I watched the 'Behind' documentary with my dad, he told me that
    he was a big fan when he was a kid. Back then I was obsessed in cars
    (still am!), and seeing as I was interessed with the makeup and the
    story, I lokked out for any sins of cars, I could not see any, but
    when James Franciscus & Linda Harrison go down into the buried city of
    New York, they pass a red white & blue bus buried in rock. I loved it,
    so far I have been watching every apes picture I could to find the one
    bus, but now I own the box set, and the bus is a matte painting. Not a
    real bus. Say, does anyone have a picture of it?.

    Hi, Leo...Welcome to the group...Personally, "Beneath" is my favorite
    of the apes films, and there's a lot of shots in the "Photos"
    section, but I don't think there's a shot of the bus...Hang in
    there...If there is one, someone here will probably have it, and let
    you know...Maybe somebody will do a screen grab for you...
    Yes, all the apes material is out on DVD, including "Return"...

    My favourite part of the Burton Apes canon is Bill Quick's backstory,
    as told in his two follow up novels.The first, in particular, is
    excellent.The junior novels also really flesh out the
    characters.Burton's Apes movie was rushed and, in some respects, too
    ambitious---you get the feeling that, with more time, things might
    have been better--although that's not always the case in
    Hollywood.It's interesting that the emphasis in terms of
    merchandising now is classic Apes--the Ultimate head set has Caesar,
    not Thade, as its theme.Maybe the studio bigwigs are starting to
    think about things? John, Scrolls.

    No they're not, whether you like it or not.
    If POTA2K1 had been better they might be.
    But since it wasn't . . . They're not.  I defended
    it when it was out as being not THAT bad, in order
    to boost the boxoffice.  I even paid to see it 14 times.
    But even though it made a decent profit, it wasn't enough
    to secure a sequel, unless you're privy to info we're not aware of.

    Subject: ESCAPE/CONQUEST questions... for my Apeline Two
    .html
    Humanoid Apes,

    Some questions for you... I'm going CRAZY! Maybe you can help me...
    LOL!

    1- "Eight years ago, a plague killed..." - Was Armando
    just "rounding up" the EXACT date? Because I'm more and more
    convinced that CONQUEST is not *ONLY* set in 1991, but 1992 and '93
    too! Basically the whole movie might be covering a span of 3 years.
    Keep in mind Armando often refers to Caesar as being "20 years old",
    despite he was born in 1973 A.C. Keep in mind that Breck and his
    crew, when relating to Armando and his activity, often refer to this
    specific amount of time: "20 years", and not "18"!
    So, a possible scenario:

    1991 - Just the PROLOGUE of CONQUEST.
    1992 - First part of the movie (from the helicopter scene). Caesar
    is, of course, 19, almost 20. Armando is just "rounding up" (1983-
    1992=9, not 8). Presumibly, Armando raised his circus in 1972 (1972-
    1992= 20). Caesar is introduced in the Ape Training Center, and
    lately purchased by Breck.
    1993- Caesar's revolution, after aprox. one year of captivity.

    2- According to my scenario, in BENEATH Zira was in her *SECOND*
    month of pregnancy (she's not showing yet).
    Then, the Ape-O-Nauts crash-landed on Earth in FEBRUARY/MARCH 1973
    A.C.
    The second ship ("missing for OVER two years") the President was
    referring to was indeed the mission which will "merge" in 3073 A.C.,
    12 years before Virdon and Burke's arrival on POTA I (the astronauts
    killed by Urko and lately mentioned by Zaius).
    Brent's rescue mission is a secret, and not yet declared "failed"
    (What's about the TV reporting, anyway? "Two ships disintegrated in
    orbit", is this the exact quote from the movie?)

    MILO II was born in SEPTEMBER (Chimps pregnancy = 8 months). ARMANDO
    headed towards his Winter quarters in October/November.
    What do you think about it? I need suggestions and quotes from the
    movies.


    Many thanks...

    T.C.

    .html
    It has come to my attention that there are those who continually
    question POTA movies chronology.

    Let me state that the POTA films were not suppose to be sequels as
    such, but because of the success of `Planet' other sequels followed
    which were not planned, and thus were not thought out properly.

    So what we have is an inconsistency of chronology.

    I have tried my very best to marry these inconsistencies to make
    sense of it all, in my researches and information given by other
    people to help me with my Timeline.

    But there are those who still question dates and periods, this is
    fine to a point, but the truth is no one will be satisfied.

    There are ways to have POTA Timelines, which can be divided as
    follows:

    1. POTA Movie Timeline.
    2. POTA TV-Series Timeline.
    3. Alternative POTA Movie/TV Series Timeline.
    4. Composite POTA Timeline.

    From the above, my Timeline is a `composite' and thus probably the
    hardest to do.

    But let's look at the contradictions and inconsistencies of the
    movies, which by the way were made by 20th Century Fox.

    1. In `Planet' the year is 3978, but in `Beneath' it is 3955. In
    reality the correct date should be 3978.

    2. In `Escape' the year is 1973, when it really was suppose to be
    1975. The reason for this date is simple; the President says that two
    ships went missing over two years ago. If the launch date for
    Taylor's ship was 14/1/72, add let's say 26 months that will bring us
    to 1975. Unless we put back Taylor's ship launch back to 1970 to fit
    the 'Escape' timeline.

    3. In `Conquest' the year is 1991, when it should be 1993 (not
    withstanding the above correction). The reason for this date is
    simple; Armando and the Newscaster both mention 20 years ago that
    Cornelius and Zira came to Earth. But if you add 20 to 1975, you get
    1995 (Another inconsistency, which would make the Plague happen in
    the year 1987, instead of 1983).

    All in all I am happy with my interpretation of my Timeline, if there
    are those who dispute it, then let them make their own Timeline
    instead of pestering me about my efforts. I have taken a long time to
    gather the information and put it together as best as I can to fit
    the POTA universe, to make sense of it all.

    But you must remember 20th Century Fox made the errors when making
    the POTA films and I have tried to accommodate those errors to best
    fit the information given to make my Timeline.

    Regards.

    Peter.

    I would agree with you that his adaptation of the movie itself is
    pretty formulaic--not sure how diificult it was for him with late
    scripts etc. However, the two following novels are, I feel, really
    imaginative and engaging.I enjoyed them.The junior novelisation of the
    movie, with Thade as an albino gorilla, is excellent! John, Scrolls.

      Peter, I think that you've done a marvelous job with your
      timelines.  You've done the best you could with what you've had to work with.
      The screenwriters should have looked into it a little better, maybe we
      wouldn't have had all of those inconsistencies (3978, 3955, etc.)

      DEHN flubbed, but it's up to us to "make sense" out of it, at this
      point. It's a painful process. Anyway, it seems to me that the MOST
      of the "errors" are heavily concentrated in ESCAPE and CONQUEST.

      I did the same with my mammoth, double-crossed timelines, compiling
      a whole database full of informations and reasoning. I'm still in
      the process of revisioning, however. It's not easy at all, everyday
      a new "problem" to fix (read: unflub) pops-up.


      > From the above, my Timeline is a `composite' and thus probably the

      I think the Alternative one is the longest and the hardest to
      compile. APELINE ONE (the Original one) is surely the most complex.

      I forgot about the NEWSCASTER! I'm preaching that CONQUEST is set in

      The crucified gorillas that appear during an illusion on the
      battlefield during 'Beneath' are hanging upside down. Does anyone
      agree (or disagree) that this is another reference to the recurring,
      inverted cross symbolism of 'The Holy Bomb'?

      True. I see a spooky similarity between the two concepts. God, an
      anti-christian/pseudo-satanist message in a 1970's movie! That's
      quite ground-breaking if you ask me.

      Is the 'ALPHA-OMEGA' title for the bomb somewhat of a *CANONICAL*

      You provided me with a very interesting detail... that can work in
      the "scenario" I "cooked-up" for CENTURY CITY. Thanks!

      By the way, BATTLE is set 27 years after Caesar led the survivors out

      I knew about that before the movie came out. He was portrayed as a

      gorillas are not as aggressive as chimpanzees so they changed him...
      Chimps are carnivores, bloodthirsty animals that will tear your b@lls

      As for Caesar, well his book is open and waiting for a continuum...

      Time-sensitivity works in mysterious ways and it is up to us to
      fill in the blanks, my friend...
      Unfortuneatly, I don't include the "tv series" in this. That is
      way off the driven course of events...
      Time travel depends on when and where one lands. Brent launched
      at an inopportune time and missed saving the Earth by only milli-
      seconds...
      He arrived too late, thus dieing alongside his comrade, Taylor...
      He should have set his coordinates to land him before all hell
      broke loose...
      But who knew?
      If we stretch our imaginations, maybe Taylor's distress signal
      had reached present Earth before the ship sank. Then that would mean
      that NASA is a bunch of dummies for not doing their math...

      Good question. St.Peter was crucified upside down, at his own request,
      because he felt himself unworthy to mirror Jesus Christ.It's also, in
      the context of Beneath, got 'world turned upside down' connotations,
      with Apes supplanting Man.Does the 'sign of the Bomb' actually appear
      in Beneath? It's in the scripts and the novels, I think, but I'm not
      sure if it's in the movie.I'm sure studio bosses would have been
      squeamish about clear parallels with Christain rites, and so 'upside
      down crucifiction' might have been preferred to avoid direct comparison-
      --but then even the early sketches for Beneath, as shown on the Behind
      disc, always had them upside down.I'm inclined to think that being
      crucified upside down is just an evil twist by the Mutants going for
      maximum horror--if you get crucified upside down death is caused by
      your brain bursting with blood.John.

      No, we're just spread out all over the world...I'm on the west coast,
      for instance, and I know we have members from Europe and the UK...We
      also have a few from Australia and NZ, I think...The point
      is, 'daytime' is different for all of us...

      Agreed, especially considering that the images were being projected by the Mutants.
       
      Now, who can specify the other three times an inverted cross appears in the film?   :-)

      In the "series", the humans talk(oh, that's where pota 2001 got
      the idea), and that just isn't right. Also, the humans had too many
      rights; ie, their own farms, fields, and a touch of freedom. Plus
      they were aloud to reproduce.
      Now you know that a REAL ape colonization would never allow any
      of those atrocities...
      Plus (now it gets touchy), that series was not all that and a bag
      of chips... All they did was run away and maybe once-in-a-while get
      caught or sick or hurt...
      I'm sorry, but I was not impressed by the TV series even when I
      watched it in its heyday. But, just for posterities sake, I purchased
      the DVD...
      Seriously sit down and really pay attention to it once. It
      sucked...
