Planet of the Apes

Although the series was cancelled after 14 weeks because of low ratings and was considered a failure in the US, it was a huge success in the UK (who obviously didn't run it up against "Sanford and Son" and "Chico and the Man" as CBS had).

It is clear from the numerous shots of the palms of Galen's hands that they are gloves, though the character doesn't wear gloves.

In 1981, selected episodes were re-edited into five made for TV movies: Back to the Planet of the Apes (1981) Forgotten City of the Planet of the Apes (1981) Treachery and Greed on the Planet of the Apes (1981) Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of the Planet of the Apes (1981) Farewell to the Planet of the Apes (1981). One episode, "The Liberator," was not aired during the original network run, but was aired in the UK and made its US debut in the 1990s.
