The complete Planet of the Apes TV series is now on DVD, but there was a time when that was not the case. Liberty, and Pursuit on the Planet of the Apes is one of five TV movies that were made by editing together episodes of the Planet of the Apes TV series. They had a great cast which included Ron Harper, James Naughton, Booth Colman, Mark Lenard as Urko and Roddy McDowall as Galen. McDowall said in interviews that Galen was his favorite Planet of the Apes role, and he is my favorite character of the entire franchise as well. Life, Liberty, and Pursuit on the Planet of the Apes is made up of the TV episodes The Surgeon and The Interrogation, and McDowall really shines as Galen in both of them. In the early 1980's the Apes TV movies were the only way that one could see the long canceled Planet of the Apes TV series, and I really enjoyed them.
