PLANET OF THE APES (1974) TV Guide Ad

When I was 9 years-old, I looked forward to nothing on television as much as I looked forward to the weekly, all-new, adventures on the Planet Of The Apes. (Well, maybe Land of the Lost on Saturday mornings...) I was a huge fan of fugitive chimpanzee Galen (Roddy McDowell), and 20th century astronauts Virdon (Ron Harper) and Burke (James Naughton). I doubt that my parents and my younger sister were quite as enthused when I commandeered the television set on September 13, 1974 for the premiere episode...
