Tarzan: Lord of the Jungle

Show Summary

Aired: 1976 - 1982
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: US

The Jungle; here I was born; and here my parents died when I was but an infant. I would have soon perished too, had I not been found by a kindly she-ape named Kala, who adopted me as her own and taught me the ways of the wild. I learned quickly, and grew stronger each day, and now I share the frendship and trust of all jungle animals. The jungle is filled with beauty, and danger; and lost cities filled with good, and evil. This is my domain, and I protect those who come here; for I am Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle.
—Opening narration

This was a great Saturday morning series. The Tarzan cartoons were great, as were the Batman episodes (aside from Batmite). I didn't mind the Lone Ranger episodes either--and they came along at about the time that I was outgrowing the Saturday morning cartoon thing.
