• Hard to believe that Edgar Rich Burroughs, Inc., would let this proceed without a trademark challenge — unless they have already licensed the rights.

• Absolutely right. The estate has licensed its rights to the creators of the show.

• I am wary and tired of all of these animal ‘specialists.’

  I would like to know;
  Where is this ‘specialist’ licensed at
  By whom is he licensed by
  Where does he deliver each animal/mammal, etc. to when he ’rounds them up?
  Who approved this show and do they themselves oversee the animals?

  Animals are not ‘pests’or varmints. They were here before us and will remain after we have died. We have no right to create ‘entertainment’ on their backs. For that matter, how do we know that these animals were not planted there in the first place. This evening, when he went to get the alligator from the private swimming pool, this wild, crazed gator did what ? It swam to where he was at. Seemed as though it was someones ‘pet’ and thought it was feeding time.

  I doubt very much I will hear back from anyone here but I am pissed and wanted to say as much.

• No one should worry about the animals. Everything this so called Tarzan is doing is closely orchestrated and strefched . Tbere is no way that boy two guys can actually be capable of catching a zdbra , for example. That’s the reason the camera man deliberately shakes the camera and swings back and forth, put the frame out of focus, etc, etc. It’s not real life, it’s make believe entertainment. Just a clown with a fancy name.

• This has got to be one of the fakest “reality” shows out there. I just watched it last night, and while I will admit a chimp hopped up on cough syrup toting a gun is hilarious, it’s also ridiculously staged. Mauler is spot-on, you can tell the camera shake is deliberate and unnecessary. It’s full of “shocking” things like a super-quiet zebra stalking interrupted by teens with M-80s, hunting for a lion in LA and finding dogs humping and cops with guns drawn…please. UrbanTarzan, you WISH your life was this exciting. Well, at least some people will think it is, maybe that’s good enough for you.
