Before we move on to the next film in the series, I wanted to touch upon the original Apes phenomenon wasn't quite over. In 1974 and 1975, the series took to the small screen. A live action television show and a cartoon were created, both ultimately having the plug pulled on them before they even were able to finish a proper full first season. The films may have been done, but the Apes were implanted on pop culture, and Fox wanted to keep riding that train to Ape-town.
