Tales of the Gold Monkey was one of the greatest shows on TV in the 1980's when I was growing up. I remember this show but for the life of me I have been struggling to remember the name of the show for the last 5 years. I knew I the actor from 7th Heaven from somewhere but I could never remember why I remembered him.
Jack the one eyed dog, is how I tracked it down as I put that in my web browser. I want so bad to buy the 21 episodes all on DVD for my step-father for Christmas but it's not available. He and I would watch it and laugh at the hilarity and silly things this "Pirate" gone good, the freelancing mercenary of the air with his pontoon boat in 1938, set right before the beginning of World War II.
A great TV series and it should never been canceled. |
I wached it as 12 year old kid, and still remember it as a Great Show

Until today I really did not know the exact name of this show but I remember the two words from the photo I have in my mind of a Golden Monkey so I tried to search for it in the web since all these TV series are being released on DVDs as sets. So I tiped THE GOLDEN MONKEY TV SHOW, and I found out that the real name was TALES OF THE GOLD MONKEY, I was very happy that I finally found what I was looking for and desided to search Amazon.
I hope that the show will be released very soon due to the fact that it is a great show and I was really sad when I found out that it only lasted for one season.
The Cast were:
*Jake Cutter............Stephen Collins
*Corky..................Jeff MacKay
*Sarah Stickney White...Caitlin O'Heaney
*Bon Chance Louis.......Roddy McDowall
*Rev. Willie Tenboom....John Calvin
*Princess Koji..........Marta DuBois
*Todo...................John Fujioka

| Any fans of Indiana Jones type series or movies should like this TV series. Decent acting, stories, and music made it well worth watching. I like many others have my fingers crossed this will come out on DVD. It didn't quite catch on as well as the Jones movies, so I guess it was more of a Smith. But I know if you see it you won't be disappointed. Some great flying in one of the best planes of the period, a Grumman Goose. Fans of aviation should definitely check it out. If you like this series be sure to catch "Aviator" with Christopher Reeves, "High Road to China" with Tom Selleck, and "Snow Walker" with Barry Pepper. A bit more serious aviator survival movies, but well worth a look. |

| This was one of the ten best tv series ever. As such, it was doomed to not last long. I truly think it was because they picked the wrong name for it. "Jake Cutter - Adventurer", or "Adventures in the South Pacific" would have been better. Except for the pilot show, the gold monkey had nothing to do with this show. Great cast, great writing, taking advantage of the atmosphere created by and for "Raiders of the Lost Ark". When it is available on DVD, it will go into my library right by the Indiana Jones trilogy. I loved the Jack Russel terrier with the eye patch. |
Gold Monkey a must see

| This was a great series with all the elements, a must see... Wish they would have more shows like this rather than stupid contests to see who can lie cheat and steal the best to be the last survivor... |
