Man, I love this cartoon as well since it is one of the first cartoons I ever remember watching as a very young child on Saturday mornings in the 70s (probably before most people here on Toon Zone were born) and it only helped to foster my life long love of superheroes. Unfortunately, I remember nothing other than some vague images of the various shows and I doubt if it will ever be available of DVD or anything like that.

Dude, take a sedative!

When Tarzan & the Super 7 debuted, it was actually an extension of the Tarzan/Batman Hour of Adventure from the previous season. Both Tarzan and the New Advs. of Batman were in their 3rd seasons. As memory serves, to fit everything in a 90 minute block, Tarzan & Batman were edited. CBS kept Tarzan and Jason of Star Command around, and sent the rest off to NBC in 1980 for its final season. Tarzan was then paired with first the revived Lone Ranger (starring William Conrad), and then Zorro the following season. Super 7 wasn't the same without its anchor (Tarzan), and was cut to an hour.

This was the only time that Batman appeared on two different shows, from two different studios, on two different networks, at the same time. Will that ever happen again? I doubt it.

I remember Web Woman had some sort of hideos sidekick for comedy releif....Whatever it was, was almost as annoying as batmite or herbie from the Fantastic Four.

I'd like to check this show out if it's available on DVD.

The CBS schedule that season is so memorable, it's the only one I can remember by heart.
8 Popeye (the only HB production on the network by then)
9 Bugs Bunny/Roadrunner
10:30 Tarzan & the Super 7
12 Space Academy
12:30 Fat Albert
1 ARK II
1:30 CBS Storybook, or whatever that show was.

Space Academy? ARK II??

Space Academy? ARK II??
Space Academy - didn't that star Dr. Smith from Lost in Space. And if I rember right, they recycled the space ships from Space Academy as the Ark mobile

Yes, Jonathan Harris starred in Space Academy. And let me correct the timeline of Filmation's line of live-action series:

Shazam!: CBS 1974-77
Secrets of Isis: CBS 1975-78 (coupled with Shazam the first two seasons)
Ghost Busters: CBS 1975-6
Uncle Croc's Block (starring Charles Nelson Reilly & Jonathan Harris in a parody of old kid's shows): ABC Sept.-Dec. 1975 (replaced by Super Friends reruns)
Ark II: CBS 1976-77
Space Academy: CBS 1977-79
Jason of Star Command (part of Super 7): CBS 1978-81

I should note that Sid Haig, who's appeared in both of Rob Zombie's movies, came over from "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" to co-star in Jason, and the late James Doohan also co-starred. Filmation discontinued live-action programming after Jason stopped production.

[Eric B]

Unless you count continued Bill Cosby segments.
Also, ARK II ran until 1979.

[Chris Wood]

Yes, yes, but what are Space Academy and ARK II?

[Eric B]

Two of Filmation's live action sci-fi shows. One was about an academy aboard a ship in space, and the other was about earth in the 25th century after civilization was destoyed, and a new "Noah's Ark" of sorts containing scientists try to start over again.

You can see the intro here: http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/644-ark-ii/ They were supposed to have Space academy too, but don;t have the intro available.

[Chris Wood]

Cool, thanks. I'm a little too young to remember the live action Saturday morning shows.

I wrote a letter to Tarzan.com asking them who owns the rights to Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. The forward my e-mail to the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Maybe they'll find out who owns the rights to the Filmation Tarzan cartoon.
