The Retro Network is going ape all week long as we launch a full celebration of one of the most iconic sci-fi franchises of the 20th century. Planet of the Apes has left its mark on movies, television, comics, toys, candy, and Saturday morning animation, and we’re diving into every corner of that legacy.
Throughout the week, TRN will be revisiting the classic films that started it all, the live action TV series that expanded the universe, and the animated series that reimagined it with bold 1970s flair. We’ll explore the comic books that built a larger mythology, the Mego action figures and playsets that ruled the toy aisles, and even the candy treats that turned fandom into something sweet.
It’s a full immersion into Apes nostalgia, from the Forbidden Zone to the toy shelf to the candy counter. Whether you grew up with the franchise or you’re discovering its retro charm for the first time, The Retro Network Goes Ape will deliver a week packed with memories, surprises, and deep dives into one of pop culture’s most enduring worlds.
Stay tuned all week long as TRN celebrates Planet of the Apes in true retro fashion August 3rd through the 8th!
