if you go to Wal-Mart's website and you select Planet of the Apes: The Complete TV Series, they will direct you to a few other suggested items. Sort of "if you like THIS, you'll LOVE these other Products":
*wait* guess!! what do you think they'd recommend? another SCI-FI Tv show? similar books or movies? of course not. Listed under "similar products" are Biographies of Jack Johnson (first black heavyweight boxing champ), Martain Luther King, Tina Turner, and Dorothy Dandridge.
anyone see an ugly theme here?

I always thought Planet of the Apes was a commentary of racial relations. The word association to the movie might lead to the movie suggestions. Just my two cents.
Madcap
Here Wal-Mart apologized for it and said they were investigating how it happened with Planet of the Apes...and Charlie & the *Chocolate* Factory, and the Power Puff Girls and Home Alone?! Those last two just feel random or I don't get the joke.
no, it was about society and nuclear holocaust.
