PLANET OF THE APES had 14 episodes in 1974. I liked it. It was predictable, in a 1970's action show kinda way. But I watched every episode. What was I gonna watch on TV in 1974? Ton Orlando and Dawn? the Mack Davis Show? Jesus!
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)

very hard to find on DVD however - been trying to find it for years
I loved that show.  These days I have a hard time even finding people that can remember it existed!

This is one of my earliest TV memories, watching it as a kid at my grandparents.
"Once you get past a certain threshold, everyone's problems are the same: fortifying your island and hiding the heat signature from your fusion reactor."

Tales of the Golden Monkey. Set as pre-WW2 adventure show. While successful, it was doomed by its high production costs to a single season. It followed the adventures of an American pilot (he might have been called Jake, or that might be the name of his one-eyed dog) living on a Pacific island and getting up to all sorts of Indina Jones style adventures.

Thunder in Paradise. 

It was a one season show in the 90s starring Hulk Hogan, who traveled around the world and fought crime with his partner and their special high tech boat.  The thing was pure cheese.It was the kind of show that made Baywatch look deep and subtle.
