TV.com summary

Tarzan: The Epic Adventures is a syndicated series that aired for one season (1996–1997). It focusses on the character of Tarzan in his early years, after his first exposure to civilization, but before his marriage to Jane Porter. The series uses much of the mythology of Edgar Rice Burroughs' books as background material.

This version of Tarzan was filmed in the Sun City resort in South Africa, making it one of the few Tarzan productions to actually film on that continent.^[1]
