Time of the Apes

Saru no Gundan was a Japanese TV series that imagined a future where apes ruled over humans. It was totally unrelated the Planet of the Apes movies. There were 26 episodes aired in Japan in 1974. In 1987, segments of the series were edited together to produce a TV movie in English called Time of the Apes. It probably got more views in the MST3K version.
