Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp

Imagine if The Maltese Falcon was done with chimpanzees in all of the roles with human voices overdubbing the primate action, and that approximates what Lancelot Link was all about. They also took The Monkees to heart by having an actual “monkey” rock group called The Evolution Revolution. Stories were mainly silly and totally geared towards children who like silly monkeys acting like humans. Nondiscriminating fans of Get Smart may also get a kick out of the juvenile humor.
