The 1970's was a big era for cheesy T.V. Ask anybody! But this one took the cake! A man and his dog with an eye patch (as well as some other weird characters) search for a giant gold monkey - really! In an old episode of Johnny Carson, Johnny was talking about the T.V. show line up for the year. This was on the list (under a different name). When he read the plot, he joked about how dumb the dog with an eye patch sounded. Even then it was odd!
