Hey Hey Ape fans! In this episode we look at "The Tyrant" which originally aired 11/22/1974. Synopsis: Pete, Galen and Alan risk an encounter with Urko when they attempt to foil the plans of a dishonest ape who is using bribery to gain total control over a district of human farmers.

In this episode which aired 11/15/1974, Pete is captured and taken to Central City where Urko (Orko?) meets with Zaius, who has a special "experiment" planned to get information from him with the aid of Wanda, a chimpanzee scientist, who has discovered a book from a time capsule from 1986 on how to brainwash humans. 

We also talk about meeting several of the Ape TV/movie actors and authors of the Planet Of The Apes: Evolution Of The Legend. Find out from Ron Harper himself if it's really pronounced Urko or Orko.

Plot: In exchange for a condemned human's freedom, Alan agrees to race a horse that belongs to prefect Barlow against Urko’s horse (who has never won a race fairly). We last saw Barlow in the 2nd episode titled "The Gladiators.” (SPOILER - Urko takes off his helmet and there is no Pete backstory).

Hey Hey Ape fans! Happy New Year everyone. We hope everyone had an Urko-tastic 2014 (We're trying to make that a thing).

We are now at the halfway hump having gone through 8 episodes. In this episode we look "The Deception", which aired on 11/1/1974. Galen, Pete and Alan hunt down a band of murderous ape dragoons. But the blind ape daughter of the dragoons' latest victim falls in love with Pete - unaware that he is human.

Ape listener, Michael Kostka, writes in to answer some questions from the last episode, "The Surgeon", including where to find future American Werewolf and Dr. Pepper pitch-man David Naughton.

Happy Holidays Ape Fans!

Welcome to the holiday episode of Talking Apes TV! We are the podcast that takes an in-depth look at each episode of the Planet Of The Apes TV series from 1974 to find out why it still stands up after 40 years. This was also the year that kids were asking Santa for the newest toys and games like Twister, Connect 4, and, GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip.

Join Richard and Mark as they say their goodbye to TV's Dr. Zaius, Booth Colman, in our opinion the best of the Zaius'.

In this episode, "The Surgeon", which aired 10/25/1974, Alan is shot by a gorilla patrol. Galen and Pete take him to a medical center where we meet Dr. Kyra (Played by Jacqueline Scott who portrayed Zantes in the "Good Seeds"), someone special from Galen's past.

Hey Hey Ape fans! In this episode of Talking Apes TV, we look at "Tomorrow's Tide". Remember this one? When Pete and Alan are captured in a fishing village that employs human slave labor, they must prove their worth as fishermen or be sacrificed to the gods of the sea - the sharks.

Every other week we are finding random connections between Star Wars and Planet Of The Apes. In our new segment, The Star Wars Connection, we tell you what we found this week. Thanks to Rob Dehlinger for writing a great segment theme. (Any guesses as to what the music was influenced by?)

We also reveal a new winner of the Planet Of The Apes TV Series DVD Box Set. Is it you?

Unfortunately we don't see General Urko in this episode so we don't know if his helmet is on or off his head.

As always, thank you Apes for listening. #Hurtonsanidiot

Hey Hey Ape fans! We are the podcast that takes an in-depth look at each episode of the Planet Of The Apes TV series from 1974 and to find out why it still stands up after 40 years. This week we look at the 5th episode in the apes series, "The Legacy" which aired on 10/11/1974. In this episode Pete and Alan discover a holographic message by scientists from the past (but their future), which might help them find out what happened to their world.

We also talk in brief about the comparisons from the Pierre Boulle novel to what we see in the films and TV series (now that Richard FINALLY got through the book). Apes driving cars? Still can't see it.

Hey Hey Ape fans! At Stan Lee’s Comikaze in Los Angeles last week, we found some HUGE Apes fans. Because of this happy accident, we bring you a recap & interviews from  Comikaze with Planet Of The Apes: Ape City Cosplay Crew.

We know we said last week that we'd be breaking down the 5th episode in the Planet Of The Apes TV series, "The Legacy", but these interviews were too good to pass up. Not to worry, we will give you the commentary next week on The Legacy that stars a 10 year old future Freddy Krueger.

Also on this episode we are going to read some listener feedback from Facebook, Twitter, iTunes and email. We’re also going to see how POTA crosses over into the Star Wars universe.
