After their spacecraft travels through a time warp, two astronauts from 1981 crash-land back on Earth in the year 3085--a time when intelligent apes rule and humans have been reduced to servants or pets. Captured by the apes and sentenced to death, they are saved by a curious chimpanzee name Galen. But now all three are on the run, trying to keep one step ahead of the gorilla army led by General Urko, who is determined to kill the renegades.

Some good stuff in this - very dated but still enjoyable.
It would be good to see some consistency in the back story.
If it's 'at least' the 31st Century and the end hadn't arrived by the 26th century (as per the storybook image in episode 1) then at least 500 years have passed and that city would be rubble and overgrown, the solar panels long since died, the posters decayed. Perhaps in the 70s they did not fully appreciate the 'Life After People' scenario.
Some understanding of what a fulcrum is would have helped.
