Introduction

The series, set in 3085, begins with the crash of an earth NASA spaceship, this time from 1980. The spaceship is manned by three astronauts, one of whom has died in the crash. The other two astronauts are unconscious but are rescued by a human who carries them to an old bomb shelter. After the human opens a book containing historical text and pictures of Earth circa 2100, the two astronauts are convinced that they are indeed in a future Earth.

The crash is also witnessed by a young chimpanzee who tells the authorities. Ape counselor Dr. Zaius (an analog of the Zaius character from the original movie), notes that another such incident occurred ten years earlier. He orders the head gorilla, General Urko (Mark Lenard), to find the humans and bring them back alive. Dr. Zaius wants to find out as much as he can about the humans before they are eventually killed. Dr. Zaius doesn't trust General Urko to follow his orders and bring back any surviving humans, so he sends along his newly-hired chimpanzee assistant, Galen (Roddy McDowall). Dr. Zaius was a fictional character in the novel and movies Planet of the Apes. ... Planet of the Apes is a 1968 science fiction film in which an astronaut finds himself 2,000+ years in the future stranded on an earth-like planet, in which humans are enslaved by apes. ...

The two astronauts, Colonel Alan Virdon (Ron Harper) and Major Peter J. Burke (James Naughton), go back to their ship to check the ship's chronometer. They are more than 1000 years in the future from when they left Earth. Virdon insists on retrieving the ship's flight log in the hopes that they will be able to analyze it and be able to return to their own time period, but while they are at the ship, they are captured, and the old man is subsequently killed by a group of apes.

Galen finds the human book that the old man had been carrying. He reads parts of the book and begins to doubt the history that he has been told: apes have always been dominant, and humans have always been inferior and subservient. When Galen finds out that Urko has arranged for the two astronauts to escape and be killed in the attempt, he prevents the shooter and helps the humans escape.

Galen discusses the book that he found with Dr. Zaius, who then accuses him of heresy. Galen is sentenced to death for his crime. The two astronauts find out about his sentence and rescue Galen. They are all then declared enemies of the state and become fugitives. The three fugitives wander around the territory that used to be the western United States having various encounters with apes, humans and old human civilation ruins.

1967: Virdon’s son, Chris, is born. (This is speculation based on the photograph of Virdon’s family in “Escape from Tomorrow” and “The Legacy.” The boy in the picture seems to be about 13 years old. Virdon states that he had a son about the age of Kraik in “The Legacy.” The actor who played Kraik was 13 at the time. The name of Virdon’s son is from “The Good Seeds.”)

Alan Virdon becomes a colonel and Peter J. Burke become a major. Virdon’s rank is established in “The Legacy.” Burke’s rank is established in “The Interrogation.” They are either in the United States Air Force or the United States Marine Corps.

Wanda discusses the book in “The Interrogation.” Brainwashing controversies According to research and forensic psychologist Dick Anthony, the CIA invented the brainwashing ideology as a propaganda strategy to undercut communist claims that American POWs in Korean communist camps had voluntarily expressed sympathy for communism and that definitive research demonstrated that collaboration by western POWs had been caused...

During the early part of the Ornan Period, a fever, which struck only the human population, killed several hundred people in a section of the rural zone. The entire sector became barren for years afterward. This was described in “The Cure.” It is impossible to accurately pinpoint the exact date of “The Ornan Period.” The implication is that it occurred hundreds of years in the past and was not common knowledge to the ape population at large.

2985: Apes raided the village of Borak for Human slaves. Many beings were killed on both sides. Finally a meeting arranged and an agreement was reached. The Humans would provide five slaves twice a month during the Summer months for work in the mines. (Brun describes this sad history in “The Liberator.” He states that this happened "a long, long time ago". His ceremony is described as being done in the fashion of “Our fathers and our father’s father.” It can be postulated that this happened a century previously before the living-memory of anyone in the village.

3061: Galen is born in Central city to Ann and Yalu. (This is an inference. Roddy McDowell was 46 in 1974.

Urko, Aboro and Bulta enter the academy together. Strangely enough, Both Mark Lenard (Urko) and Percy Rodrigues (Aboro) were born in the same year. Hence, Urko and Aboro are the same age.

Zaius, a member of the Ape High Council, wants to question them but General Urko, the chief of security, has them killed.

(The two dates come from two different attributions from the series. The March date is from the ship’s chronometer. The June date is from the opening credits. Burke indicates that the chronometer may have stopped before they crashed. The June 14th date will be used for the purposes of this chronology.)

Telefilms

In 1981, several episodes of the series were edited into five made-for-television movies.

Galen's Last Appearance

When the Planet of the Apes telefilms entered syndication, ABC's owned and operated television stations had a way to make the films more interesting. They called upon Roddy McDowall to re-create his role of Galen in a series of new openings and closings specifically for these stations (many of them showing daily afternoon films under titles such as The 4:30 Movie), billed as "The New Planet of the Apes." The introductions originally created by 20th Century Fox to open each film was replaced by a now-aged Galen (McDowall) looking back toward his exciting adventures. The most fascinating aspect of these episode introductions is that they actually revealed the final fate of Virdon and Burke, something never accomplished in the original 1974 series. The ABC O&O openings and closings of these telefilms were never seen on other stations, nor were they included on the DVD set of the series. [2] The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) operates television and radio networks in the United States and is also shown on basic cable in Canada. ...
