Tarzan

I think Edgar Rice Burroughs is turning over in his grave. This brought-up-to-date version of Tarzan made me cringe. Tarzan is going to be a vigilante for the NYPD? Jane is a female cop? Maybe it will grow into something, but the pilot was painful. I salute all the efforts to make watchable, even creative television, but either the Nielsons are broke or the shows are just not so great. (I have been watching the ratings for the new shows - where have all the couch potatoes gone? Or the rest of us? TV is in trouble...)

I watched it once. Yeah it was pretty stupid - I expected as much. But I watched it cuz it has Mitch Pileggi from the X-Files. lol. I'm a devout fan, I'll admit it.
