Tonight we watched Planet of the Apes TV series, “The Legacy” from Oct 11, 1974 (when I was four years old). The best part was:
We were lying down in Max’s tent bed in his room on Mueller Drive. Max’s head was on my shoulder. Elliot was lying on my chest and stomach — he’s still small enough for his whole body to lie on me!
Just lying there together, watching in peace, was wonderful. The only thing missing was Karolina.
The three of us watched together. Elliot had no idea what was going on; he probably didn’t understand most of what was said, but I’m sure the apes were novel.
Max seemed to enjoy it. We’re watching the entire 1974 TV series again; last Max saw it was a couple of years ago.
Old computer props from the 70s or 60s? According to Starring the Computer, these are real panels from an IBM AN/FSQ-7 Combat Direction Central built in the 1950s and used as props in the 70s since they were obsolete in ’63 or ’64.
