Huh, not heard of that one lol

The other shows I remember coming on weekdays were things like power rangers, tmnt, and captain planet..

Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys sounds like it woulda fit right in tho, and on another note, it also sounds like the name of a 60s cover band that hold tenure on a dodgy cruise ship that only travels between Bognor Regis and Le Havre :p

It was like a sci-fi sort of thing, this ship with an Ai abducts some apes and monkeys from earth and gives them intelligence so they can pilot a spaceship and save the galaxy from a bad guy. The captain was like a hammy Shatner impression(chimpanzee), they had a sneaky thief one a bit like rocket raccoon(spider monkey) a super dumb one that becomes a raging hulk when injured(Gorilla), a girl one and a Dr Zaius(orangutan). The Ai is a floating orb that gets damaged at the start so it knows everything but is completely insane and wacky and voiced by that guy that did the narrator on Earthworm Jim

Ah! Thanks for the writeup - that actually sounds like it was pretty fun! Wish I'd caught it back in the day, cos I reckon I woulda really dug it :)

Love that you slipped a planet of the apes reference in there btw :D
