Review of Ark II

Ark II (1976)
Never let the chimp drive
5 June 2001
An RV in the future - sounds like a fortune cookie message.

There was this creepy bearded weirdie who looked after the kids in the ARK II's 'crew.' Honestly, and I ask this not of the Ark II people, but of the dean of Space Academy and of Jason and the rest of Star Command -- what use are kids in dangerous missions and what the hell were you trying to teach us in the seventies?

Always let the adults wear the jet pack? Always stop for freaky hippies in rags at the side of the road? Drink lots of distilled water? Let the grown-up drive?

Well, definitely that last one. I remember one episode when they let the chimp drive. That damned monkey nearly bulldozed an entire village. I can vouch for that lesson personally. I once let the chimp drive.... Wait, that was my friend Steve... Whatever. It was a good show. Especially when Steve was carted off by the cops.
