An early [[Creator/DonaldPBellisario Belisarius Production]], it shares many of the traits common with his works, such as action/adventure, {{Camp}}, RuleOfCool, and a former military protagonist (Jake Cutter, former Flying Tigers AVG pilot) who narrates his own life through an inner voice. It ran for but a single season (Sept. 1982-July 1983) for a total of 21 episodes, counting the 2 hour pilot, but built up a large cult following that [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes kept circulating the tapes]] for decades before it finally made its way to DVD in 2009 (UK/Australia) and 2010 (US/Canada). While many assume the show was a Spiritual Successor of ''Franchise/IndianaJones'', Bellisario originally pitched the idea in the late 1970s and always claimed the inspiration to be the 1939 film ''Film/OnlyAngelsHaveWings''.

Tropical islands, [[TwoFistedTales high-flying adventure]], political intrigue, "talking" dogs and [[AllMythsAreTrue legends come alive]]! This is the world of Tales of the Gold Monkey, a one-season adventure series that aired on ABC in 1982. Set in the mythical South Pacific island of Bora Gora (in the equally mythical Marivellas archipelago) in {{The Thirties}}, it follows the adventures of Jake Cutter, pilot of a Grumman Goose flying boat named ''Cutter's Goose'', his one-eyed [[NonHumanSidekick canine sidekick]] Jack, and [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits his various allies and associates]] as they battle the villainous schemes of [[DragonLady Princess Koji]] and other ne'er-do-wells. Jake, a former Pan Am pilot and former member of the Flying Tigers American Volunteer Group, just wants to settle in to a quiet life as a legitimate pilot-for-hire. Needless to say, adventure tends to find him.

* BizarreGamblingWinnings: Jake Cutter's dog Jack has a [[GlassEye false eye made of opal with an inset star sapphire]]. In the pilot episode Jake bets the eye in a poker game (apparently not the first time he's done so), and loses, with the result that for the rest of the series, Jack wears an eyepatch over the empty socket.
