I'm considering buying this solely for my love of monkeys.
I was disappointed when it got canceled.
This looks like a live action version of TaleSpin, which is awesome in it's own right.
@xelement5x: Funny you say that. Talespin was apparently based on this.
There is a local improv group in Birmingham, AL that I greatly enjoy, and they have one bit where they flip through one of those giant exhaustive books of every TV show ever (what are those called?), pick a show at random, and then attempt to act it out based solely on the one paragraph description in the book. They landed on this show once, and it was hilarious. Based on that, I have to assume this is a great show.
Dang it. I misread the title.
I thought this was the last sequel to the Curse of Monkey Island series.
This was a fun show, thanks OP.
