Tarzan (Lord Greystoke), already well educated and fed up with civilization, returns to the jungle and, more-or-less assisted by chimpanzee Cheetah and orphan boy Jai, wages war against poachers and other bad guys.
Tarzan is a series that aired on NBC from 1966 - 1968. The series portrayed Tarzan (played by Ron Ely) as a well-educated character that had grown tired of civilization, and 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.
Loved watching this as a kid in the seventies! It started with Black Beauty on Sat morning then Tarzan followed by World of Sport with Dickie Davies!! Ahhh the memories!
😂😂😂😂😂😂yep we thought it was corney as hell at the time and that's what we liked about it. Banana Splits was utterly demented, we loved.
Ron Ely really did wrestle with that lion. The Director who told him to do it must have been crazy!
Filmed in Brazil and not Africa.
A great children's TV series. Happy memories of more innocent times.
That's nuts!
I was wondering where it was filmed.
@@brontewcat I saw an interview with Ron Ely where he explained that during a dive from the top of the waterfall, he parted company with his loincloth.
That's not an outtake that I have ever seen on TV!
There are so many great series that just don't get broadcast anymore.
I guess it's that they are not considered to be politically correct enough.
Loved watching this version of Tarzan back then in the days growing up in the 70s 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I grew up with this episodes of Tarzan and it just sad that we all grow older but never forget the best things in life god bless us all
As a kid in the 70's I remember watching Tazan reruns every Saturday
Me too
Growing up in the 70's rocked !
I use to do the Tarzan call and hum the theme tune at night after being told it’s bedtime when my grandmother use to look after us as she couldn’t get up the stairs.
We loved watching this with Jai and Cheetah, always our favourite !
Loved this series … I believe they used Johnny Weissmuller’s scream / call for the Ron Ely Tarzan … great series … loved this growing up. 🇦🇺
This show made my dream come true,I lived in Africa for couple of year, beautiful!!
Fantastic to hear this music after so many years. Brings back so many memories.
Give me a cup of coffe please,
Love this series !! Used to watch is every day during the summer when I was a youngster…
Tarzan must have made frequent trips back to the mainland to get his hair styled and highlighted.
LoL …. Shhhhhhhhh! He had a chimp stylist !
োল
Wish it was longer. Long haired men with beards made them look badass and tough looking
Yeah for sure
When this was on TV in the 70's there were only three channels, no cable, no wifi, and we played stick ball and football in the street, and rode our bikes everywhere.

And life was better. Faaar better.
Best times then
@@GrantfromEarth Somethings were better, somethings were not. The music was damm sure better.
Until dark, then maybe back outside again
Used to watch this show all the time as a kid, well into the 70s. Saturday afternoon repeats. This and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.
By far my favourite Tarzan!!!!
I used to pretend I was him at the pool when I was a kid 😂
I remember this series, big time! After watching, I would go climb in the trees in Grandma's back yard and find the best branches to swing on. Thanks for posting.
You've must've been a weird kid...🙄
@@celticwarrior9123 You are a rude kid or pathetic adult.
Awesome, remember this as a child. Always wanted to be like Tarzan!
There's only one Tarzan, and that is Johnny Weissmuller period.
@@christopherarnett2851 You clearly haven't read the books
No one can shop Elmo Lincoln
Every kid back in the day did the Tarzan sound
Ojala. Alguien.. Baje estas películas algún día para verlas
As a kid, I used to swing on every vine I could find out in the woods because of this guy! Best Tarzan ever!
I haven't seen this in decades. Very cool.
Hi Paul, yes I had to buy it from Amazon to get it as its just not around anymore. Cheers bud.
@@TeeVeesGreatest This is on DVD? Didn't know that.
@@TeeVeesGreatest rpp
my mom loved ron ely so much that i loved him too 😆
That was so sweet , the conversation between Tarzan and the little boy. Tarzan would make a great dad lol
When tv was great and could play outside without parents worrying
The same time as jwg John Wayne gacy
Sadly reality was not kind to Ely. His wife was stabbed to death in their home 2 weeks ago - their son Cameron was the main suspect and on 10/29 he was shot to death by police outside their home
Sincere condolences to Ron Ely on the death of his wife Valerie. The circumstances were just heart-wrenching.
Should have stayed in his jungle. Should never have moved Jane and Boy to Hope Ranch. Far more danger lurking in the Urban jungle. Back home Cheetah is weeping.
@@degsbabe The news is even sadder - their son Cameron was the main suspect - yesterday (10/29) he was shot and killed by police outside the home
Ron Ely's wife and son died due to SBPD and he's now suing the sheriffs.
I use to love watching this when I was a kid on a Saturday morning. I wished they re show it on tv again
Watched this every Saturday night in 60's. I really miss it.
Never caught this series with Ron Ely back in the 60's or 70's, discovered it when it ran on (free) METV every Saturday morning (back to back episodes) a few years ago. I never missed it, really great series. Ron E. Was the best Tarzan.
Love this theme song.
Loved this when I was a kid in the sixties. Happy days
Sadly Ron Ely's wife was just killed 10/15, stabbed to death in their home - police shot and killed their son Cameron, who was the chief suspect on 10/29
Boy this took me back to my childhood , I would run around in my cut off shorts with my knife strapped to my side /. I still have the knife 🔪 I’m 55 years old 😁 Ron Ely will forever be my version of Tarzan
My favorite tv series when I was a child ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Não perdia um dia de tarzam assistir a todos os episodios. Que saudades de chita e boy. Ah tempo bom !!
Love it. Awesome child memories… no COVID back then!!
Just ebola.
Remember watching as a kiddo. This is best Tarzan by far
I grew up watching this when I was a child
NOWADAYS u dont hear any kids yelling "AHaaaa ahaaa!!" they are all busy with their phones such a pity
It's too bad they can't make shows like this any more.
The characters and story lines are too simplistic for today's world. They no longer have the imagination.
I didn't realise how good looking he was back then, with still being a kid at the time.
but sure he was the uncle we all wanted have and be around
I agree that Ron was the best Tarzan, I send my condolences to him,his family,friends for the loss of his wife . May she rest in peace .
It's a shame that Ron ely's wife had to die at the hands of her son . I feel for Ron & his family . When you love someone else in your life & you share your life with that someone it's a painful loss . You have your memories of the both of you together doing things together as well as to where you both travelled . Hang in there & don't never ever give up or in Ron ! Your fans love you & I am 1 myself of the programs that you star in . You won't be forgotten never ever ! Thank you for letting me say all that I could !
@@colleenvantrease4977 Very nicely said Colleen, he was my hero on TV as young boy.
When we were kids watching this me & my brothers would go to the local swimming baths & try and dive off the top board like Tarzan. Ha ha. Happy days. 🤣🤣👍👍
Try doing that today! In the 1980s I was a competitive swimmer in Western Australia so am well experienced at launching myself from the starting blocks. I did it at my local council pool a few years ago and was told I'm not allowed to because I might hurt myself! One day there will probably be a rule saying "No Swimming Without a Buoyancy Vest!"
Just read the news about Ron Ely and the sad events surrounding his wife and son. Life can throw up some curveballs and unexpected ones at that. I used to watch this show back when it was repeated late 70's early 80's as a kid.
jamie foyers es una buena persona y ademas muy initelkgente.
M
Minha infância foi maravilhosa, que saudades, ficava dando aquele grito no quintal de casa, a inocência prevalecia.
My favorite Tarzan. Ron Ely. Great show 👏🙋♂️❤️🎬⭐️📺🐒🦁😎🗡💪💪👀
1:05: that war cry, that is so iconic. I'd use that as a ringtone.
Hello,... I saw this serial when I had eight years old in chilhood together my sister and little friends in T.V. black n white ! Today I have sixty years old and remember this with happy ! Thanks, Daniel.
Loved watching this as a kid 😊
Please keep Ron Ely in your prayers - his wife Valerie was stabbed to death in their home two weeks ago - the main suspect was their son Cameron, who police killed 10/29 when coming to arrest him
Velhos tempos belos dias assistindo tarzan e outros seriados. Como era maravilhoso.
Haven't seen that intro in 45 or 50 years. Saturdays reruns in the 70's! Wish METV or some network that shows old shows will run it!
when times were different loved watching this my favourite tarzan
Now the woke ones call us racist for appreciating Tarzan
I liked Manuel Padilla as Jai. He was cool and on to be a cast member of American Graffiti.
Remember watching this on Saturday nights,,magic times ,many thanks for this.
OK. Thanks For. Ron Ely: Tarzan Tv Intro and Closing 1966-0968. South-Africa.
Great show,should have had a 3rd season!
Totally can't imagine what was going through their heads having a Tarzan with no Jane. It's like they were trying to do Batman in a loin cloth without any Catwoman and to make it even creepier made Robin into a little kid walking around in a loin cloth. As much as I loved the Edgar Rice Burroughs and Johnny Weismeuller Tarzans, the Ron Ely version honestly just had no appeal to me at all. The writers seemed to have never actually read any of the original Tarzan stories and instead of all that crazy science fiction stuff about lost civilizations or dinosaurs this show was more like "Daktari" than Tarzan. I kept expecting Tarzan to wrestle Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion. I'm really surprised it even had a 2nd season. Name any memorable story in the whole two years it was on. Show us any episode fans have a video posted on you tube about. The whole series was just blander than a trip to the zoo.
I Totally Agree
@@jimscribner8314 Yeah. I remember the into but never really watched it. I don't know what was on opposite of it, but that's what I must have watched.
If I remember right, the ratings dropped a lot during the second season - it was also a very expensive show to make (originally it was filmed in Brazil but switched to Mexico to save money). They ended up combining several episodes and creating movies which were released
Wish I could find the full show
Que serie mas entretenIda y espectacular con el gran RON ELY.L a daban todos los Domingos por la TV.Ojala la den en la TV abierta en español desde Chile.Bravo. Un 10.
When I was a kid, I had a fantasy of living that lifestyle. I thought about just hitting the woods in some animal-skin shorts and making it as an animal man. Looking back, I know I would have lasted a few hours and then wanted my air conditioning, television, and grocery food back.
*Tarzans awesome warning cry is known to every creature in the jungle* : man screeches
Check out the "African" Tiger to keep the Indian Elephants on their toes! and the Hispanic kid at the end!
A truly international cast!
los dias de mi niñez, todos queriamos ser Tarzan
Holy crap, I actually remember this show... although vaguely. It was the opening _Tarzan_ logo that sparked my memory. I also noticed that Victor French (Mr. Edwards from _Little House on the Prairie_ ) was in the credits.
Que tempos bons, domingos a tarde,eu era projetista no cinema aqui na minha cidade,no final dos anos 70 , sempre passava os filmes de Tarzan, sessões de domingos a tarde,que não voltam mais,só lembranças boas,
What a great show,great memories. Tarzan was a hunk. Lol
Just the way I remembered as a kid that Tarzan was a swinger baby. Ron Ely
OMG!!! I bearly remember this!!! when I was a kid I used to watch this!!!
That theme song was driving me nuts this morning! Thank you for helping me find out what show it was from!
Made in 1966 to 1968...Ron Ely .21.6.38......Tarzan!.......Manuel Padilla jnr......13.5.1955..to..29.1.2008.....jai...........r.I.p...😉😉😉😉😉😉
Mon adolescence c était génial!!!! On attendait avec impatience les épisodes. J ai découvert l Afrique à travers tarzan. Merci❤❤❤❤❤ j ai adoré la version film avec Christophe Lambert
Couldn't go through Pally Park once without hearing that Tarzan call
I was so in love with Ron Ely. I still am
Gad! Longest opening in tv show history. I like 'em short--like "Seinfeld", a few bass notes and we're in!
I always imagined TARZAN being in much better shape than what Ron Was , in better shape than the man from TARZAN IN 2016. Considering all the running, swinging from trees and swimming he did, he should have been. And yes as a kid I Loved this show too.
Meus muitos obrigados a quem postou,viajei a minha infância com muitas emoções!
A Sy Weintraub production. The man really knew the jungle
Great show
Great music score excellent performance.
When I was a kid in Hong Kong, I always thought "Cheetah" means monkey in English. Then I grew up and learned that cheetah actually means something else. Imagine my shock!
Have you followed all the old movies and series ?
In 1982 I was visiting the amazing Singapore Zoo and was looking at the cheetah (the spotted big cat) enclosure. A couple of Chinese people who spoke a bit of English asked me what these animals were called in my language. I told him they were called "cheetahs". He said "That's the ape in Tarzan!"
From there it was a long story trying to explain that "Cheetah" was the pet name Tarzan gave the chimp and that "cheetah" is really the name of the spotted cat and.......in the end, I'm not sure he believed me!
For every adolescent who was questioning his sexuality, these shows were so look forward to back then.
how old am i fucking old when i recall watching this old classic
it was one of the most sexiest man in the planet........
Yeah, I remember watching this as a young boy and having a suspicion that I was gay. Back in the '70s in the midwest I couldn't talk about it but I sure enjoyed watching Ron Ely in that loin cloth. Then CHiPs came out in the '70s. I took one look at Erik Estrada and I was like, yeah, I'm gay.
@@PatroniFan ya
Ron Ely 👍🏻 fantastic series 😍👏🏻💪🏻🥺
My favorite Tarzan...
I remember watching it
How sad that Manuel Padilla who played Jai died at 52 from brain cancer.
Ron Ely is still going strong at 80.
@@davidt9292 Their son Cameron was the chief suspect - he was shot by police and killed outside their home 10/29
Loved this in 70s growing up but don’t remember the voice over at the beginning?
That Boy Will Later Be in American Graffitti (1973) as a Member of the Pharaohs.
This Tarzan yell was actually borrowed from Tarzan Jonny Weismuller, who was a yodeler
this was on youtube until copyright began to take them down, now nobody can watch it again
So good growing up as a kid back through the 70's and 80's. There were some great shows on tv back then for boys. They get nothing like that today. The, masculine, heterosexual, male, moral hero is seen as the devil in todays woke, neofeminist, cultural marxist society. There are no heroic role models for young boys to aspire to today.
Spot on
@@mick6370
Yeah, its really sad. I dont think it will last forever though.
I wish we stayed and freezed in that time of life.
Hate this lifeless life now.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was named for the boy that hung out with him. but nobody really remembers that anymore thank god.
Fuck man, Tarzan actually tackled a lion.
I used to watch this every Saturday morning (in the UK) in the mid-1970s when I was 9 or 10. Then I would go to the nearby wasteground and pretend I was an African tribesman!
As far as I can tell this Tarzan TV series (1966 - 2 seasons) is
available NOWHERE, not for streaming, not for torrenting or any
downloads anywhere. It has fallen off the face of the earth except for
descriptions on Wiki. Searching for videos only brings up a million
"other" Tarzans. Anyone able to revive this production? It was on NBC
& quite good family viewring.
Tempo bom que saudades dessa época da infância assistia Tarzan não perdia um capítulo
Tarzan the Mighty Ape Man.
my all time fav character ♥♥Tarzan♥♥
THIS is the theme I remember
Oh yes memories.and im 67
¡Ahhh que magnífica serie!
I remember in my neighborhood all the kids were using TARZANS call...laughing here thinking about it...some even beating their chest as they were calling out.
One thing the series never explained was where did Jai come from? He is clearly of Mexican or Central American descent but there was never any mention as to how he ended up being orphaned in Africa and into the custody and protection of Tarzan. If anyone can shine a light onto his backstory, you'd be answering a question I've been asking since the early 1970s.
TARZAN OF THE MONOS, EVERY GOOD HISTORY, GOOD FILM
I forgot how the animated series pretty much emulated this intro.
