	I remember Lancelot Link.  It was essentially a Get-Smart takeoff
with chimpanzees in costumes as all the characters.

The theme song was:
Lancelot Link Secret Chimp
Lancelot Link watcha gonna do
Baron is after you
He's got an evil chauffeur and Credo's his name
and Dragon Woman is pretty but she's wicked all the same
oh, Lance Link watcha gonna do
there's Ali Assisian and Wicked Wang Foo
and then there's the Dutchess whose looks can really fool you
oh! Lance Link


	In the book _Kids'_TV_-_The_First_25_Years_, it says that
18 live chimpanzees were used, dressed in hats and coats and trained
to emulate their human counterparts.  Lancelot Link, the lead chimp,
portrayed a bumbling espionage agent employed by A.P.E. 
(the Agency to Prevent Evil).  Their enemy was C.H.U.M.P.
(Criminal Headquarters for Underground Master Plan).
