Wallace was also a story consultant for the soap opera All My Children. In 1974, Wallace wrote the first two episodes of the Planet of the Apes TV series - "Escape from Tomorrow" and "The Gladiators". In writing the opening episode, Wallace created a premise which revised an earlier pilot episode script by Rod Serling. Wallace had initially been reluctant to be involved: “I thought it was a terrible idea to turn 'Apes' into a weekly series. But Herbert Hirschman convinced me that we could make provocative statements on our world and, when I wrote my episodes, I truly believed in the show.” "The early time slot forced Apes to become more of a children’s program, and the terror and mystery of the apes was ruined because they turned the gorillas into buffoons. Every week, the astronauts knocked them out with ridiculous judo chops and backflips."
