Season 1 Review: Another sumptuous-looking hour based on a famous hero, infused with scads of potential but also some problematic underpinnings. [1 Oct 2003, p.7]

Orlando SentinelHal BoedekerAug 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: Tarzan seems like such an iffy premise for a series. Our hero is evidently going to help Jane with her caseload, proving he can make it you-know-where and be top of the heap. Don't we have enough police in prime time so Tarzan can be himself? [5 Oct 2003, p.4]

Season 1 Review: Silly as it is, the show works as pop-mythic eye candy. The pilot alone a motherlode of iconic pictures. [3 Oct 2003, p.53]

Season 1 Review: The WB is hoping you'll be so agog over the atmospherics and Aussie underwear model Travis Fimmel's sculpted pecs and abs that you don't notice the story's a little thin in this New York update of the old Edgar Rice Burroughs tale. [3 Oct 2003, p.49]

Cleveland Plain DealerMark DawidziakAug 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: The real strain is in trying to turn Tarzan into a crime fighter like Spider-Man, complete with the gravity-defying leaps and whoosh-wham special effects. [4 Oct 2003, p.E6]
