Season 1 Review: As for story, Tarzan will remain trapped in monotony unless the writers can get him out of the city sometime (at least to the Catskills or Poconos), or bring in wild and bizarre comic book characters like the Batman series did. [5 Oct 2003, p.TV6]

Season 1 Review: It's hard to imagine anyone over the age of 15 being able to watch this series with a straight face after seeing Tarzan go sniffing through Midtown like a bloodhound, but maybe that's the audience the WB is after. As we said, Fimmel does have great pecs. [3 Oct 2003, p.B47]

Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertAug 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: It's all thin melodrama and B-grade action steeped in generic nighttime city scapes. All the while, there's the serious Fimmel, doing his workout with a jut in his jawline and a grunt on his lips. [3 Oct 2003, p.D16]

Season 1 Review: It's all rather dull. Which might be remedied. Maybe. [4 Oct 2003, p.E08]

San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa TimesChuck BarneyAug 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: Much of Tarzan feels more like a marketing strategy than a show, and it seems to have a few flaws that "Smallville" doesn't. Chief among them is the incoherent plotline, which, in the pilot at least, does little to explain the motivations of Pileggi's character. [4 Oct 2003, p.D01]
