damn dirty turkey!
Is Turkey Day a major holiday on Ape Planet? It must be, because Fox Movie Channel is running an all-day Planet of the Apes marathon today, including the 1968 original tonight.

The daytime portion is kinda lame, though. The first filmings are edited-together episodes of the POTA television series, resulting in the following latter-day 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)

Not a Charlton Heston sighting in any of those. Just a bunch of cheap monkey-masks and ’70s haircuts. Could be worse, I suppose.
