Captain Simian & The Space Monkeys

"Captain Simian & The Space Monkeys" was a great show. I used to wake up early on Sunday mornings to watch it on UPN. This show gave me some good laughs and I was sad to see it go.

My favorite monkey was Spydor. He was really funny. I also liked Capt. Simian. He was really brave and he would do anything for his crew. I liked Shao Lin, too. She was cool and brave.

My favorite episodes of "Captain Simian & The Space Monkeys" were "Escape From the Plant of the Apes" and "Invasion of the Banana Snatchers". I loved theses episodes. They were classics!

I really enjoyed this show and I wish they made more episodes of it. I give this show 10/10 stars.

This underrated and overlooked animated series from 1996 is definitely worth trying out for fans of 90s cartoons (like me). While the animation itself is not as expertly made as, say, that of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' (1987-1996), for example, which must have had a bigger budget, 'Captain Simian & The Space Monkeys' still features well-written dialogue, some outstanding comic relief, and a certain charm which captivates its audience, whether young or old.

This is one of those underrated shows which should definitely get remastered or remade so that a new generation of people will not miss out on its captivating style. Most major studios only remake some of the better known shows but I believe that with some proper investment,' Captain Simian & The Space Monkeys' could be a surprise hit.

Reruns of "Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys" came on in my area recently, and I found it to be an entertaining show with witty jabs at famous sci-fi plots and characters. However, in one episode, there was a scene where a character was hit by a deadly ray and was reduced to a pool of blood and the character's rib cage. It is a good cartoon, but I would watch out for these rarely-occurring events of violence or gory detail. Also, there may be some humor that kids might not get.

I can remember watching this thing when it first rain 10 years ago, it was funny, intelligently written, w/ cleary drawn characters, distinct voices, oodles of satire tossed in. You gotta love the Trek refs(holo-boons as Redshirts, Shatner, etc), Worf voicing the baddie, Malcolm McDowell as the Other baddie, awful brain puns, etc. This one just worked on many levels.

Odd that it didn't catch on better-but then again it had a hard time finding a home there on the UPN schedule, it was around the one year-26 eps-then goners.

I'd rec. checking for it on You Tube-most of the shows are there, and they do hold up pretty well.

I remember watching this show way back in high school. It was a great show that appealed to both my sense of humor and my childish cravings of action, fantasy, and adventure. The cast of characters were great: Their personalities were so varied and endearing, form Gor's innocent and gentle nature to Dr. Splitz/Splitzy's interaction with his other personality. The Orbatron, and the holo-boons, were probably my favorite characters. Each episode I always look forward to the maniacal (and often satirical) comments of the Orbatron, as well as equally look forward to what TV character personality a holo-boon would assume. I laughed my ass off when in one episode I witnessed a holo-boon acting out a caricature of Peter Falk's "Columbo". It was really great stuff. I really would have liked to have seen this show last more then one season, it was a gem.
