Mike Schleslinger, a consultant for Sony, said their decision to release JUNGLE JIM in 2008 was due in part to the big sales that Warner had with the Weismuller Tarzans. That is great news since it means we should certainly see a Lex Barker collection in 2008 followed by Scott/Henry at some point in the future. Henry only made 3 Tarzans so perhaps his collection would be grouped with the Jock Mahoney films.

It's important that the Tarzan films come out on DVD since like Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto, these are films that TV stations are hesitant to air, but I miss them from when they were Saturday afternoon staples.

Agreed. Watching Saturday morning/afternoon TV in the 70s is what led to my love of classic cinema. Laurel & Hardy, Tarzan, East Side Kids, Chan, and Sherlock Holmes are the films/series that I recall watching the most.
