NBC brings us a new series this fall starring a Capuchin monkey who is best friend to a hapless vet played by Justin Kirk. It looks promising,a s does any project smart enough to hire a monkey to star.
So who is your favorite Prime Time Primate?

Not my FAVORITE but I was always quite fond of Lancelot Link, who was a prime time private eye who was also a master of disguise. Here he is undercover as lead singer of a rock band.
I assume that just actors with alot of chest hair are out...therefore:

NBC is so sure it's going to be a hit, they've already ordered six seasons and a movie. Because it's just the kind of show that everyone loves!
In 1963.

I know, right? I think NBC would be wise to add a monkey to EVERY show. Tracy Jordan gets a new pet on 30 Rock... Olivia's demoted back to the streets and paired with a super-intelligent chimp on Law & Order SVU. Anderson Cooper's new co-host is...well, I think you get the idea.

Doodle- BJ & the Bear had something for everyone- a monkey paired with a hairy-chested trucker.
The ONLY show where a monkey could be good would be if Troy and Abed adopted one an raised it as their child.
I will always love the line Jack said to Will on an episode of Will and Grace.
"I never knew how gay BJ and the Bear sounded"
I hate every ape I see from Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Zee.

I loved BJ and the Bear! As a hairy little child, I got a funny feeling in my tummy whenever they showed Greg Evigan sleeping in a bed with that lucky little monkey.

BJ and the Bear could be the title of my memoirs.

Marcel was the only good thing ever on Friends. except maybe the one where Joey had to do a nude scene and had told the casting director he was uncut.
Does the "Planet of the Apes" animated series count?
There was also a live series with Ron Harper and James Naughton.
I liked Davy, but I guess since he's dead, it would have to be Mickey.
Oh how I LOVED BJ & the Bear!!!!

Homer Simpson's helper monkey, Mojo was pretty nifty.
