I used to watch the Tarzan Series with Ron Ely ,and even back then had the pompous do gooder bits that were a turn off ,one where Jai was given a rifle by a hunter ,he looks it over and likes it, then ,decides to smash it against a tree [i just couldnt comprehend that ,at that time ] then Ron Ely [Tarzan ] pats him on the back so to speak ,and they leave it and move on .just didnt make any sense to me ,just irresponsible to me anyway .
I can say as a young kid I liked the Ely series. Later did not. Ridiculous his accent, ridiculous his obvious well educated English, but yet is a goose walking around in a rawhide loin cloth .... and all the PCism as you mention.
Some of the Johnny Weismuller movies were far better. Not the cheapo ones featuring Mexicans pretending to be African darkies though.
