Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle was actually a series of novels created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Filmation produced an animated series of it in 1978 and titled it the same name Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. The series ran from 1976 – 1984.

Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle had 4 seasons with 36 episodes running about half hour each on CBS in 1976. The series stared Robert Ridgely and Lou Scheimer and was directed by Don Towsley. This is one of the few cartoons during that time frame that stayed on the air for that long.

Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle has been recreated in many situations and cartoons such as Disney’s Tarzan so many of the character may sound alike. The main character of course was Tarza then N’kima, Jad-bal-ja who raised and trained Tarzan and Mangani and Tantor who are Tarzan’s friends.

The series had many characters in it good and bad. Tarzan as the title says is the Lord of the Jungle and he protects his friends and family against many bad characters who also live in the forest with him. Like any other story there are always bad guys.

The various seasons in the series were titled differently so many of the series were part of the Saturday morning cartoon series Tarzan and the Super 7.
