The first (and still my favorite) Tarzan television series ran from September 1966 to April 1968, for a total of 57 episodes. I saw them in syndication and they were my first exposure to the wonders of Edgar Rice Burroughs! Ron Ely played an intelligent Tarzan and I love the show.

Ron ElyFilmationWolf LarsonEpic AdventuresDisney's Legend of Tarzan

 Tarzan returned to television in 1976 as an animated Saturday morning show (originally titled: Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle). The voice of Tarzan was provided by Robert Ridgely. This series (currently hard to find!) is fondly remembered for its exciting, though limited, rotoscoped animation.

In 1991 Tarzan was back as a live-action adventure series, this time with Wolf Larson in the leading role. Tarzan was portrayed as an environmentalist and a protector of the jungle and its animals. The series had very little going for it but Ron Ely did make a guest appearance as a villain.

Tarzan returned in Tarzan:The Epic Adventures starring Joe Lara as the ape-man. The premiere movie showed some promise - but the series didn't do much for me. The series was more sword & sorcery than ERB and relied too much on magic/hocus-pocus.

Picking up where their feature film left off, Disney's Legend of Tarzan is currently airing weekday afternoons in most markets. The animation is well below the film version, but is enjoyable and it's always nice to have a daily dose of Tarzan.
