Premise: Two astronauts land 2000 years in the future and find that Earth is ruled by apes. It had the same setup as the 1968 movie and its sequels, and also one of the same stars (Roddy McDowall). But viewers were cool this time, and only 14 episodes were produced; they were later stitched into TV-movies.
