Yea, I vaguely remember the original Tarzan movies and jungle jim series on the weekends when it was still in black and white with Johnny weissmuller (sp??) watching them circa mid/ late 70's and then my Grandmother / Grand father brought a new color tv and the very first thing i ever saw in color was half an episode of Dr Who with Jon Pertwee - mind totally blown (it was a sunday at 5pm - i wanted to stay to finish watching but my Mother said it was time for us all to go home so she could make dinner, lol).
One of the areas where they used to film some of the jungle scenes for the old Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan flicks is now a wild animal santuary down in Port Isabel, Texas, near the Rio Grande river. Kinda "jungly" looking. There's still a house there that was used in the films that's now historical site. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarzan_yell
That's Cool, i dig retaining stuff like that..
I remember getting a sore throat (and I wasn't the only one) from trying to imitate the "Tarzan yell" when all us kids were out playing Tarzan in the woods near our house.
