Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp

Made up of the purpose of cashing in on two proved successful tv formulas — spy displays (Get Wise) and pop music (The Monkees as well as the Banana Splits) — it had been the Mr. Ed formulation taken to the best extreme. Lancelot Hyperlink featured real live chimps with offscreen stars dubbing their goofy voices. It had been in fact funnier than it noises. The half-hour series would adhere to a Obtain Smart-type plot relating to the makes of great A.P.E. (Company to Prevent Bad) against bad C.H.U.M.P. (Lawbreaker Head office for Underworld Get better at Plan).
