Tarzan

I was expecting something not-so-good, but I'm really enjoying it! Despite some of the other comments here, I think the darkness gives the show a classier feel -- let's face it, the Tarzan concept could've come off very cheesy. I honestly think it comes off as more a quality show than something like "Buffy," thought it's not as witty (or intended to be). The camp is matched by the thoughtfulness, and both Sarah Wayne Callies and Lucy Lawless are great!

Come on people!!! Enough already! Let's at least try to do Tarzan right. It's not as hard as it looks. As a huge fan of the jungle lord, I am so very glad that this series failed! Whats with the rewriting of the origin? I know others have done it but they didn't junk it up this bad!! And whats with the whole bringing to New York thing? It's been done to death already (Tarzan's New York Adventure is the best and it will never be beat). Travis Fimmel (who's had his 15 minutes of fame if thats what you wanna call it) is not and never will be Tarzan. When you get "writers" that think they know how to write for Tarzan and they do nothing but screw it up, it makes the dumb studios out there think that the public just doesn't want to see Tarzan anymore. I do!

If this is just the beginning of the series, I forsee nothing but horrible plotlines ahead. The guy who plays Tarzan is uncharismatic, the setting is grim and bleak, the characters are one dimensional, and the villain is your usual cliche you'd expect. Boy, I have to remember to miss this every week.

The one and only reason I started watching "Tarzan" was Lusy Lawless.I just wanted to see her in something other then "Xina". I absolutely did not expect anything good from the show itself. But what a surprise. It's not half as bad as I expected. Sarah Wayne Callies is incredible. Her Jane is not a one-dimensional character and definetely not a swept- off-her feet teenager. She's a grown up woman, independent, smart and strong. I like that very much.Lucy Lawless did not disappoint also. Of course it's not her show and she doesn't have much to do. But the biggest surprise for me personally is the character of Tarzan. With every episode writers and Travis Fimmel are making me to take him more and more seriously, which I didn't think would be possible.And I like that the story of Tarzan and Jane' affection for each other is developing rather slowly - it has a grown up feeling to it. I do not expect any intellectually challenging story lines from the show like this. But so far I'm watching and enjoying it every week. My one advice to writers would be to add a bit of humor to it and not to take themselves too seriously.In any case "Tarzan" has my vote.

I came across this show whilst flicking thru the channels and I was completely hooked from the first show. I looked forward to watching it every week. In my area it was shown on Saturday at 10.00am, and it was my hour to chill with a mug of coffee after a busy working week. Tarzan is a "Dish" and i am sorry that we won't be seeing his relationship with Jane progress. I would have loved to watch another season. I don't think many people knew about it over here and so maybe the ratings were not very high for it. I think it was a good enough TV show for prime time viewing at say 8.00pm.Each week the content of the show was well balanced and was never boring.
