While the Internet Archive is often associated with the Wayback Machine or public domain literature, it has become a critical sanctuary for "orphaned" media—shows that have fallen through the cracks of modern streaming services. The 1966 Tarzan is a prime example of this digital preservation in action.
The 1966 Internet Archive Exclusive features a unique blend of action, adventure, and drama, making it a standout in the Tarzan franchise. The series boasts a talented cast, including Ron Ely as Tarzan, and features a mix of jungle settings and urban locales. The show's creators worked hard to bring a new level of authenticity to the Tarzan character, drawing inspiration from the original Edgar Rice Burroughs novels.
Mike Henry’s Tarzan is muscular, cunning, and silent in a 1960s way that feels both retro and refreshing. Whether you are a lifelong Burroughs devotee, a student of action cinema, or just someone looking for a rainy afternoon adventure, head over to Archive.org and search for the exclusive.

On the Internet Archive, the series exists as a user-curated collection. The uploads—often digitized from VHS recordings or earlier DVD transfers—capture the show in its raw, nostalgic glory. While they may lack the 4K polish of a modern restoration, the grain and color palette transport the viewer back to a Saturday morning in the late 60s.
