Gonna go out on a limb and say Number 4 is from the "Hatred Unto Death" episode from Night Gallery.
ReplyDelete1.) Magilla Gorilla
ReplyDelete7.) Cha-Ka from Land of the Lost
12.) Grape Ape
17: Professor Bobo: Mystery Science Theater 3000
ReplyDelete5 is Roddy McDowall on the Planet of the Apes series
ReplyDelete10 is Lancelot Link
15 is the Simpsons version of POTA--The Broadway Musical, with Dr. Zaius.
Wow, everyone is doing a great job here identifying these simians in the Planet of the Ape-a-thon edition of Cult TV Faces of.
ReplyDeleteJose, you really identified an obscure one there. Incredible. But # 4 is indeed from Rod Serling's Night Gallery, "Hatred Unto Death." Wow!
woodchuckgod: You picked off three gallery images perfectly, identifying Magilla Gorilla (#1), Cha-Ka from Land of the Lost (#7) and Graape Ape (#12). Well done, my friend!
Kevin -- yes! Your recognized Kevin Murphy as Professor Bobo in MST3K, from the episode "Revenge of the Creature." Excellent job!
Hugh, you also did a fantastic job here. #5 is indeed Roddy McDowall from the Planet of the Apes series of 1974 (and the episode "Escape from Tomorrow.") #15 is from the Simpsons parody of Planet of the Apes: "Stop the Planet of the Apes, I want to Get off..." but #10 is not Lancelot Link. Great guess, however.
Splendid job everybody! the Lawgiver would be proud.
Warmest regards to all,
John

ReplyDeleteMan, those were two toughies! Fantastic job with the gallery identifications. #10 is indeed Adam from Ark II and #14 is from Buck Rogers, the episode "Happy Birthday, Buck."
Great job!
best wishes,

I would say 9 was from Space 1999 and is Maya !!
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew,
ReplyDeleteYep, # 9 is from Space:1999 ("The Lambda Factor") and is indeed Maya, transformed into a gorilla!
Great job!
best,
JKM
Great puzzle theme. Many neat pictures.
ReplyDelete#13 reminds me of the old American Tourister luggage commercials from the 70s with gorillas...which I think could have been inspired by the Planet of the Apes series. I don't think that's what it is, however.
Apes rule!

13. The ape from Trading Places
ReplyDelete16. X-Files. Ep. 2.18: Fearful Symmetry. or... maybe not.
