Tarzan: Season 2
Ron Ely finishes his legendary run as Edgar Rice Burroughs’ immortal creation Tarzan in this action and star-packed second season. This 6-Disc, 26-Episode Collection finds Tarzan, Cheetah and Jai (Manuel Padilla) facing some fearsome foes while coming to the aid of some famous faces.
First off, Tarzan takes on a tiger in one of the series’ most acclaimed episodes, guest starring James Whitmore. This is followed by a panoply of stars, including George Kennedy, Helen Hayes and James MacArthur (playing mother and son!), James Earl Jones, Woody Strode, Clarence Williams III, Robert Loggia, Geoffrey Holder, Fernando Lamas and Ted Cassidy. And that’s not to mention the titanic two-parter “The Four O’Clock Army,” which teams recurring guests Julie Harris and Maurice Evans in defense of a village under siege by slavers. Oh, and we should probably mention that Ethel Merman drops by the jungle, as do Diana Ross and The Supremes!
