Sunday Funnies: Captain Simian & The Space Monkeys (1996)

 While Genndy Tartatovsky was preparing Dial M For Monkey as a back-up feature on Dexter's Laboratory, the folks at Hallmark Entertainment wanted to one-up by creating an entire team of simians as a team of astronauts.

Captain Simian & The Space Monkeys wasn't exactly Star Trek meets "Planet of The Apes", and lasted one season, despite a cast that included Jerry Doyle (Babylon 5) as Captain Simian, and Michael Dorn (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) as his nemesis, Lord Nebula. Maurice LaMarche, Frank Welker (coincidentally the voice of Monkey as well), Jeff Bennett, and David Carradine (Kung Fu: The Legend Continues) also contributed.

Let's check a sample episode:
