I agree that the Filmation animation best are Star Trek (1973-1975), Flash Gordon (1979-1981), Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle and I would add Journey To The Center Of The Earth(1967-1968) animated series too.<br /><br />SGBSGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137406272001346149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-75734868987333573962017-02-25T10:09:24.764-05:002017-02-25T10:09:24.764-05:00A fine wrap-up to another Filmation series from t...A fine wrap-up to another Filmation series from the 70's. Viewing these series 40 years later, always creates mixed reactions. As a child, I always thought of Tarzan as a serious and intelligent show. It didn't descend to the silliness of "The Funky Phantom' and some of the Hanna Barbera shows. The rotoscoped scenes of Tarzan swinging on vines were and are still great fun. The show's setting may have been in keeping with Burrough's vision, but a civilization-of-the-week series set in a relatively area is a stretch. Seen from 2017, one wonders why more black African societies weren't featured. Did the the network play a part in this?<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for a nice episode guide for the first season of Tarzan. Andy Mangels didn't have room for episode guides in his book "Lou Scheimer: Creating the Filmation Gerneration". Looking forward to your views on the wonderfully weird "Lidsville".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
