The Dawson’s Creek

I can’t help but harp about the historical importance of Dawson’s Creek’s unintended magical realism, because my dad used to watch that hugely popular show.

To avoid a greater amount of confusion, Kaanga’s name is pronounced Ke-Anga.  He is one of only two constant characters along with his wife Ann Mason. Or even his Mexican equivalent being one of just three as with the addition of Toro/Junior in the unofficial Mexican film adaptation El Rey de Los Gorilas.  His Mexican counterpart Kim/Simio first appeared in El Rey De Los Gorilas and, like his more impactful competitors Tibor and Akim, is sometimes erroneously named just Kim.
