Yes, We Have No Bananas, Part One
Charlie, a NASA-trained chimp shot into orbit in the early 1960's,
accidentally gets thrown beyond the solar system where an advanced alien
race mistakes him for a representative of earth's dominant species. He is
given intelligence, the rank of Captain, a ship and a mission - to defeat the
evil Nebula, who seeks to absorb the universe into himself ("Check - it's an
ego thing."). Captain Simian, with some help from the Orbitron (the
repository of the advanced alien race's science and wisdom), recruits a crew
of monkeys (Gor, Shao Lin, Spydor and Splitzy) from Earth. They seem
pretty happy about it all...until Rhesus 2, Nebula's "creation", shows up,
firing his Brain-blaster with mindless glee.
We Still Have No Bananas, Part 2
Things do not get any better for the Space Monkeys so they take to the air,
but their inexperience and the fact that their ship is designed for humans,
results in their initial defeat. It doesn't help when Gor breaks the Orbitron
either! Simian sends the others back to earth via a wormhole, but they screw
up and get lost in time and space. They return only moments later to rescue
Simian from certain death and reveal that they were forced to re-live the 70's!
Now, with their monkey-customized ship, operating as an experienced team,
under a capable leader...they'll be lucky if they survive the episode!
Ape-Liens
Spydor beamitrons aboard an alien "coconut", which hatches, unleashing a
vicious alien creature. As the creature comes into contact with each of the
monkeys, it incorporates their DNA, becoming more and more ape-like,
leading to a toe-nail biting chase through the ship.
The Monkey Has Landed
The crew lands on what appears to be Earth, but the planet is covered with
jungle growth. They meet Lilith, the sole inhabitant, a charming and
intelligent female monkey, who steals Simian's heart. While Simian believes
he has come home, the others are suspicious and with good reason. Where is
everybody? What's the deal with the mysterious Lilith? And why do they
discover a huge statue of...Rhesus 2?
Gorilla My Dreams
Intercepting a message between Nebula and Rhesus 2, the Space Monkeys
head to a distant galaxy, investigating a mysterious planet where GLOP could
be generated. The Space Monkeys meet the ancient Gryxlpyx, who claims to
be the guardian of a sleeping giant who, according to legend, is actually
dreaming the galaxy. Rhesus 2 arrives to make the giant "dream up" some
GLOP and, in the ensuing battle, we discover the surprising truth of the
legend.
Splitzy's Choice
While escaping angry Blethorians (and the only thing to do when confronted
with angry Blethorians is escape from them), the ship is damaged, leaking
flux, the "glue" that holds the ship together. As the Primate Avenger comes
apart, so does the crew: Simian and Shao Lin explore a strange, new planet in
search of new flux and must survive an encounter with a humongous Sand
Monster; Spydor and Gor have a falling out, and worst of all, the bickering
Splitzy and Dr. Splitz find a way to separate into two monkeys. The Space
Monkeys better get it together before the ship blows apart!
Repo Ape
Captain Simian receives an old coded message from NASA and takes the
Primate Avenger in search of the decoder that was on board his original
capsule. They are drawn to a seemingly lifeless metal junkyard planet by a
magnetic anomaly, but the planet is really a machine: Matrix who wants to
"de-construct and assimilate" the monkeys. As Matrix learns from the
monkeys, he becomes alive. The crew, with the help of Gormongus, defeats
the living machine and escapes the hold of the magnetic anomaly. The
message from Earth? We're not telling!
Gormongus
Gor and Spydor are kidnaped by Apax, an inter-galactic fight promoter who
wants Gor to be his next champion. But Gor, like Ferdinand the Bull, won't
fight, to Apax's exasperation. While the rest of the crew arrive to the rescue,
Apax uses a rare isotope he has perfected to turn Gor into a fighting monster,
Gormongus! The good news - nothing can stop Gormongus! The bad news -
nothing can stop Gormongus!
Invasion Of The Banana Snatchers
The Space Monkeys finally find some bananas, or did these bananas find
them? The giant alien bananas "eat you up and spit you out." Spydor,
Splitzy and Gor are captured and replaced with efficiency-obsessed clones.
Simian and Shao Lin narrowly escape and must not only find a way to release
the crew and shut down the huge intergalactic "clean-up" corporation that
"recruited" them, but there's still all that paperwork!
Lawnmower Ape
Splitzy repairs the cerebrotron and gives Gor increased intelligence.
Meanwhile, Rhesus2 builds the ultimate robot, Lobiathan, and attacks a
mining colony. The Space Monkeys need Gor's strength to defeat the robot
and save the universe, but Gor may have become too smart for their own
good!
Plan Ape From Outer Space
Running from a space shark and nearly out of fuel, the Space Monkeys ride a
meteor through a wormhole. On the other side, they discover that the meteor
is about to hit a planet. They try to warn the alien-wary inhabitants, but the
universal translator is broken! Despite repeated attempts to communicate,
they cannot convince the inhabitants of their peaceful intentions. So, to save
the paranoid planet...they invade! It's the attack of the Alien Space Monkeys!
Planet Of The Humans
The Space Monkeys land on a planet where humans are primitive and warlike
(imagine the chances of that!) and two stranded alien creatures are
undergoing a rite of passage. While one of the young aliens, Larnus,
befriends the monkeys, his brother, Tronus, joins with the humans to capture
them. As the monkeys seem outnumbered, the adult aliens arrive to pass
judgment on their young and reveal a world where evolution doesn't quite
work the way you might expect.
Monkey Puzzle Man
Spydor embroils the Space Monkeys in a brawl between a mysterious and
charismatic alien space pirate, Lago Thrix and the cyberpunk Blackhole
Gang. Simian reluctantly grants Lago passage to his home world, and on the
journey, Lago impresses Dr. Splitz, Spydor and Shao Lin with his talents,
while Splitzy, Gor and Simian are jealous. What exactly are Lago's talents
(did he have a tail when we first saw him?) and is he somehow linked to
Rhesus 2 and Nebula?
Monkey In The Middle
While trying to stop Rhesus 2 from stealing gravitons from a cosmic storm,
Simian gets a glimpse into another universe, where he encounters Vog, a
one-dimensional alien. Back on the ship, everyone thinks Simian has gone
coconuts when he claims to keep seeing the invisible alien. As Rhesus 2
attacks, Shao Lin must decide whether Simian is capable of commanding the
ship.
Mind Over Monkey
Rhesus 2 plants a psycho-neutron annihilator bomb on the Primate Avenger,
probably the worst kind of neutron annihilator there is! The bomb can
destroy all life forms, and projects illusions to protect itself from being
discovered. The monkeys must conquer monsters drawn from their own
deepest fears if they are to find the bomb, save the ship and get back to that
game of Holo-Chess!
The Apes Of Wrath
Rhesus 2 tricks the crew into replacing their Holo-boon generator with one he
can control. The new Holo-boons, led by the evil Holo-boon 3462/83B,
organize a fascist takeover of the ship. The prancing 3462/83B proves disloyal
even to Rhesus 2 and seems invincible. It all comes down to the Captain's
desperate plan, involving timing, precision, cunning and Muzak!
Captain Simian & The Space Monkeys is a half-hour cartoon. The crew flies around space in their ship, usually cracking jokes and making wisecracks, while fighting bad guys and helping the good guys.
