Tarzan (1966 TV series)
The series portrayed Tarzan (played by Ron Ely) as a well-educated character who had grown tired of civilization, and returned to the jungle where he had been raised.This series retained many of the trappings of the film series, included the "Tarzan yell" and Cheeta, but excluded Jane as part of the "new look" for the fabled apeman that executive producer Sy Weintraub had introduced in previous motion pictures starring Gordon Scott, Jock Mahoney, and Mike Henry.Maurice Evans guest-starred as retired Brigadier Sir Basil Bertram, hero of the Battle of the Bulge, in four episodes.On September 9, 2016, Decades celebrated Tarzan's fiftieth anniversary repeating a few choice episodes.[4] "Tarzan's March" music originally composed by "Sydney Lee & Walter Greene" which gained additional fame and was covered by several artists including "Al Hirt & His Orchestra", "Marty Manning & The Cheetahs" & even "Lawrence Welk & His Orchestra".
