![]() There were 4 episodes (including pilot) that I remembered watching when I was 15: one of the Episodes, The Black Pearl, contains a glowing device that has killed some island natives. Once DVD plays I can watch as many of The Tales of The Gold Monkey episodes in a row without flaw.

So, 40 years later, with the help of a couple of heartfelt reviews on Amazon convincing me to buy, I can honestly say The Gold Monkey tales were better than I expected (despite the thought of ‘just being another show from the 1980’s…’) I remember the opening credits very well, especially the clip from the 82 minute pilot where Sarah Stickney White (the very appealing Caitlin O’Heaney) has her hands-tied in complete damsel-in-distress mode, on a tropical island (pretty good stage set, complete with waterfall) turning to scream, afraid of the man sized ape (makeup mask borrowed from a Planet of The Apes sequel extra?) approaching menacingly.Īt the time, there had been something about Tales of The Gold Monkey that made me want to watch, but for some reason I didn’t continue to watch and when I heard the show had gone off the air after just the one season (21 episodes including pilot with Ron Moody from musical Oliver) I remember talking to my older brothers and a friend from school that the show had seemed When The Tales of The Gold Monkey first aired in 1982 I was in 9th grade.
