Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp



Secret agent chimpanzees equipped with banana phones led by a commander named "Darwin" who are pitted against "CHUMP" (Criminal Headquarters For Underworld Master Plan), a clandestine organization of super-villains led by a monocled ape master criminal with a terrible German accent? An all-chimp rock band called "The Evolution Revolution"? Creepy fake moustaches worn by chimpanzee actors? How in God's name had I never heard of this? I feel like every moment up until now has been a complete waste of time.

Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp aired on Saturday mornings on the ABC network from 1970 to 1972. I don't think that I've ever been more proud of American television. (via: Dangerous Minds)
