Here’s the fall preview for NBC’s Tarzan, aired as part of the network’s 1966-1967 fall preview special “Two in a Taxi,” featuring Jack Burns and Avery Schreiber. The series ran for 31 episodes during the 1966-1967 season and another 26 during the 1967-1968 season before being cancelled. Both seasons have been released on DVD.
You can read all about how NBC’s 1966-1967 lineup in my article Building NBC’s 1966-1967 Schedule.
I still have very fond memories of this show and can hardly wait to get the DVD that is suppose to come out-soon.
I was never aware how banged up Ron Ely GOT just in filming the early episodes…or that it was pleasure for the pain, as it became one of the breakout hits of the 1966-67 season, taking a serious chunk of viewers from THE WILD, WILD WEST.
