Tarzan (1966 TV series) The Complete 57 Episodes Staring Ron Ely

This is a very old series, the quality is watchable, but only 7/10.

Tarzan aired on NBC from 1966 – 1968. The series portrayed Tarzan (played by Ron Ely) as a well-educated character, one who, tired of civilization, had returned to the jungle where he had been raised. The show retained many of the trappings of the classic movie series, including Cheeta, while excluding other elements, such as Jane, as part of the "new look" for the fabled apeman that producer Sy Weintraub had introduced in previous motion pictures starring Gordon Scott, Jock Mahoney, and Mike Henry. CBS aired repeat episodes the program during the summer of 1969.

Edgar Rice Burroughs' famous "Tarzan" character came to television in the person of Ron Ely, the 14th actor to play the role since Tarzan of the Apes had been first made as a silent movie almost half a century before. CBS aired the reruns of the NBC series during the summer of 1969, and some episodes were strung together and actually shown in theatres as feature length films.
