The scenario for a pilot episode of the series was written by Rod Serling, who also had written the scenario of the film from 1968. This scenario, however, had a significantly different story than what was eventually used in the series.

The episode The Liberator was seen as quite controversial, since the concept of poison gas as a weapon of mass destruction it was treated.

The reason that the series only 14 episodes ran was because of disappointing ratings, among other things by competition from the series Sanford and Son and Chico and the Man . ==Story[ Edit] == On 19 August 1980 is approaching an earthly spaceship with three astronauts on board the Alpha Centauri. Here comes the ship at a time distortion, who ship to March 21, 3085 sends. Here the ship down to the futuristic Earth. An astronaut comes to.

The earth turns out in the future to be ruled by a race of intelligent apes. The remaining people are scum. When the astronauts discover the apes, Zaius gives Chancellor commanded the astronauts to catch. However, the two astronauts get help of the chimpanzee Galen, who doubts to the fact whether the monkeys always have been the dominant species on the Earth.
