Totally agree with you about Hawaiian Eye and the Filmation Tarzan. Also a short-lived Michael Mann show called "Private Eye" with Michael Woods and Josh Brolin (and a very cool theme song by Joe Jackson).
Also: The Green Hornet with Van Williams and Bruce Lee!
I really want a Thundarr dvd also, maybe with some scans of the Toth and Kirby designs in the extras.
I could go with Batman and Thundarr. The rest, eh, probably not.
so, why doesn't The Green Hornet make the Top 10? ;-)
I'm a bit more ambitious:
I not only want someone to release these on DVD/Hulu/etc...
But I want a big-budget THUNDARR movie using all of Kirby and Toth's designs...
And I want a new MAGICIAN TV series (USA net?) using the original paradigm set forth by Bixby that all of the illusions occur in real-time with no cut-aways.
Make it so...
Well, Charles, that's why this is *my* list and not yours.
Britt - HORNET would have been #11, if that's any consolation.
I want the early nineties series Raven with Jeffrey Meeks & Lee Majors. Best ninja in Hawaii show ever.
Oh, and exactly one episode of the Tarzan cartoon is available on DVD on Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1970s Volume 1, a DVD that isn't as great as it should be.
I'd love to see BATMAN, TARZAN (both Ely and the animated version), and THE MAGICIAN on DVD. I loved those shows.
Thanks for posting the Tarzan intro! I've had this obscure memory of watching Tarzan on TV when I was 4-5 years old, and that it began with Tarzan standing on a waterfall. Haven't seen it since, had no idea what this was more than an image that made a huge impression on me more than 35 years ago!
Thundarr is waaaaaaay overdue. Seriously!
I used to have a variation of the Tarzan intro posted on the door to my room.
"My room is filled with beauty, and danger..."
Yes I am a life long Geek!
I, too, agree with both Tarzans, Batman, and the Magician. I would add T. H. E. Cat, and Coronet Blue.
