- In 1997, I had the good fortune to film this reunion between TV comedy veterans Mike Marmer and Stan Burns, who were the writers behind my favorite TV show growing up: LANCELOT LINK, SECRET CHIMP. An edited version of this short appears on the full series DVD release by Film Chest. This is the un-edited version of my film. Winner of 1999 Best Documentary at New York Underground Film Festival, Chicago Underground Film Festival and Washington Psychotronic Film Society.
Produced by Diane Bernard and Jeff Krulik

Review of DVD Release

I worked as a studio musician on a lot of the tracks. Still have my complimentary album! The music Producer, Steve Hoffman was a terrific musician and his partner Bob Emenegger who co-wrote some of the songs was a real interesting guy. We rehearsed at Bobs house and got to see his collection of suits of armor! Fun memories.
songseeds Superstatic Instamatic Electric Vibrations!
I was just googling who played the music! Would love to know more
Cool!
Everything about this is great! Thanks for lots of fun memories.
The music was so good. I put that theme song on repeat the day I got it off RUclips! You guys did such a great job.
this was friggin' brilliant; these men should have won a Peabody Award
😂
Brings back great memories. One of my favorite shows as a kid, along with many others which Uncle Stanley wrote. Remember how proud I was to tell all my friends about my famous Uncle in California. I know both Uncle Stanley and Aunt Shirley are smiling down on us.... and Uncle Stanley is making all the angels pee in their "pants" with laughter.
I remember watching this when I was a little girl during the summer time when Nick at Night was on. Hehe, I showed my much younger sisters and they were cracking up!
Funny how both Mike and Stan passed in 2002. Shirley seemed like a great lady, I know she survived Stan, but when did she pass?
I hate modern family. Lancelot Link is the BEST.
BRING BACK Lance
this is almost as good as the actual show, love this
Lancelot Link Secret Chimp holds up and still very entertaining. Shot in familiar San Diego Fiesta Island locations. Many funny (sometimes subtle?) laugh-out-loud gags. Just re-watched the series on youtube returning to Saturday am TV childhood. It was a favorite then - even now.
this was one of my favorite shows growing up... I had a Lance Link lunch box!!!
One of my all time favourite shows, SO MUCH BETTER than many of today's top shows !!!
I saw The Evolution Revolution warm up for Creedence at the Filmore East in the summer of '71. That event changed my life. I met them back stage (a buddy of mine was a roadie) and they were all a great bunch of apes; no nonsense, straight shooters... great technical musicians and not an ego between them. Good times!
I still have the original album in my collection. I have such great memories of Saturday mornings sitting in front of the TV set with my brothers watching Lancelot Link. This was a fun short film!
For a brief time, it was my favorite show.
My dad watched Lancelot Link Secret Chimp years ago in 1970 and he told me about it and now I got the DVD and now I'm really enjoying that show and it's one of the awesome classic TV shows in the 1970s.
Bernie Kopell is still alive, the guy who played the Doctor on "The Love Boat," but he voiced Baron Von Butcher, Creto and Wang Fu on the nefarious side of the show, "C.H.U.M.P." They were fun to watch in real time network presentation and first reruns.
I bet that was some great LSD you guys were taking. Thanks for one of my favorite shows as a kid.
Why does everything have to be about drugs. So uncool.
@@MooseCall It was the 60s and 70s.... if you weren't there, you wouldn't understand.
@@MooseCall Drugs reached their height at this time. The Merry Pranksters and Timothy Leary were real movements. The Beetles, Pink Floyd, Bob Dillon and countless others would experiment. If you need more proof you only need to look at Sid and Marty Krofft.
@@MooseCall I mean, you'd have to be high to think a show with this many chimps would be workable!
Crazy, clever, hilarious - then AND now! My absolute favorite tv show back in the day. Thanks for the great memories.
So glad I found this. Great to see the geniuses behind one of my fave TV shows. I didn't realize they were also writers for so many others. Dayton Allen, Lance's voice, was so right on for the character--loved it. Mati Hairi's voice (Joan Gerber) could get a little grating but it too was all part of the schtick. Still a laugh a minute after all these years.
Great job and thanks for posting.
"Once in a while a car passes..." Ha!
This is great! Best wishes and thanks for posting this!
I loved Lance Link as a kid in the 70s!
I want to congratulate all the gentlemen who created Lancelot Link. Fabulous entertainment. Always a favorite of mine. Must give credit to everyone who was involved in this masterpiece of American entertainment. More than a Five Star Ratring. A One thousand star rating.
My 1970's childhood favorite tv show
Classic documentary! LL premiered 53 years ago, 1 Jan. 1970. I saw is as a kid and remember the pilot with the snowball fight.
My favorite FAVORITE show ever! Thanks for the post!
This was a nice change of pace for the Saturday morning cartoon lineup.I remember this entertaining program growing up.Thanks for posting this interesting, informative presentation.The entire concept of LLSC was brilliant.
Thanks for posting, this brought back a ton of memories. Lancelot Link was my favorite show growing up, good thing I never did.
This is so good. I think this show was one of the best things I ever saw. Loooove the music... These guys died? Ah!!!
Both Burns and Marmer passed away in 2002. "Get Smart" airs overnights on Decades TV, 1:30 a.m. Eastern. I still get a laugh out of the decidedly droll copy.
Wow, behind the scenes. Thank you so posting this show. :)
I loved the pair of them so hard, and that show in particular, plus get smart, plus carol burnett... I mean, come on.. they were my brain.
Very Talented people!!!!
Omg! I so loved this show when I was a kid. I'd love to get the series some day. Pretty interesting learning about it.
absolutely genius..heroes!!
Awesome. Marvelous to get this backstory to this crazy show I watched when I was 6 or 7. Thank you. Nice job!
growing up in SAN DIEGO ...watching them filming at MISSION BAY. THX FOR THE MEMS
absolute legends
I just bought this and yeah it was before it's time.
Always loved this show. I just showed it to my 6 year old nephew. Passing on the greatness
I had that lunch box!
I remember a kid in 2nd grade that had a "Lancelot Link" lunchbox!
Could you imagine if Charleton Heston saw this show? He'll lose his mind.
"YOU MANIACS!! YOU BLEW IT UP!! AH, DAMN YOU!!! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!"
That was really interesting. I had never heard of that show till now.
I was in college then, so I got more of the jokes than the kiddie audience did.
So did my uncle! He, like you, was in college and watched this show with me in utter fascination. He laughed harder than I ever did.
Thank you for creating this back in the day. I loved it.
I always wondered how hard it was to work with such potentially dangerous animals! Wow
As a kid, I LOVED that show. Still do.
I can't imagine what a nightmare it must have been to work on that show. Chimps are unpredictable and can be very dangerous if they get pissed off.
Fantastic!!
A CLASSIC show from a much simpler time
Great video. I loved Lance as a kid. Brilliant and something you can't do today
The only bummer was hearing that they castrated the males. Seemingly without thought. I have to look at it a bit different now.
That's awesome thanks for sharing this used to play with Mr mugs from Disney studio when I was a little guy brings back cool memories.
Thanks to these awesome creative people we can still enjoy something so cool like this. You guys are great with the humor and the animals..how do they learn to do this?
So sweet 🤗
They were ahead of their time!
Sure miss those chimps❤️❤️
Época que volta mais
I still got it way back when I first saw this that an APE named DARWIN in the show LMAO
This was awesome, thanks for Posting
Much love
This is so cool. I lived that show and never knew who was behind it until now. I am shocked but still a fan. That show could make a comeback today with no prob. One decent treatment and the direction can be established then Boom it could take off. I am too old but there is an idea for one of you fellow Brown University Students yeah
The don and mike sent me here
Thank you so much
Excellent! Thank you.
I feel shame knowing chimps lost their balls to bring us joy.
Great stuff, 👍🏼
Remarkable.
awesome
I remember Lancelot Link being in black and white. Back when it use to air on the old Comedy Channel.
what a weird unique show. something that can't be repeated now days.
This feels like CIA bankrolled entertainment.
Lancelot had a little bit of George Burns in him.
The best Sat am show ever, I was 9 and remembered Dragon Woman 😂
I grew a watching these. .... I enjoyed watching these. Apart from hearing the monkeys would fight and do the concent thing.
OMG!!!!
I was obsessed when I first saw it (was born in 1985). I wanted to play Lancelot link with my friends but I wanted to be Mata Hairy
No way this show could be made today.
Funny stuff. I always laugh at how close chimp ears look to human
I Created Lancelot Link is like saying "I created dandruff".
hi Jeff I still have a copy of this from Mt Rainier..hope youre dandy!
OMG Out Loud!!
Great look at this unique show! Do you know which studio they filmed the series?
I appreciate you enjoying this. ABC bankrolled the show.
No chimp was hurt in the process. Well, they got castrated. Sad.
I would like to use some clips from this for my RUclips show "Top Ten Comic Books You Didn't Know Existed."
thumbs up!
Can I get a "chump" license plate? I was too young to get the "Darwin" reference.
7:43 song?
Wow this was satisfying!
I just gotta ask this one question... Was chimp feces thrown at the cast and crew during the making of Lancelot Link?
Who actually performed the Evolution Revolution songs?
A band with that name. Read comments above. Apparently they were under the audience for Creedence Clearwater, on one occasion, at least.
Ah, back when chimps were still cute little monkey clowns instead of the murderous human like killers they can be.
We're surrounded by chumps
Gutfeld! Brought me here... was expecting an obscure punk band, instead I find this, and now I'm sad knowing I probably can't find the full show anywhere because PC fascists would complain.
Sounds a bit like Walter Matthau...
Hillbillies green acres lance link the best
Monke
Where did you shoot them? It looks like Palo Alto, Ca.
+Steven LeBeau I believe Stan Burns lived over the mountain in or near Studio City, CA
Didn't the who sing this
Steve Hoffman.
I loved the show, it was so unique and I even made a redub of an episode: ruclips.net/video/akRj-fHFS08/видео.html
I forgot I watched this brain cell abuser back on Saturdays as a kid. That was the only time 'we' had our own TV showtime (other then daily after school reruns of Gilligan's Island)
The castration thing, and their cavalier attitude about it ruined it for me. And yes, I realize attitudes towards animals and animal actors was different back then. Obviously you could never make a show like this today.
Now I hate it
Ralph Chunksoup I agree the poor chimpanzees. How inhuman.
It is animal abuse.
Not even close to the way they can abuse each other in the wild.
