Leaving behind his forest full of animal friends, including Ape, a talking gorilla and Shep, an elephant who aspires to be a dog, George plants roots in the big city of San Francisco, where the comedy and adventure only grow bigger. Those who bought the "George of the Jungle" videotapes from Fox back in the 1990's will remember these.

Join dim-witted, but big-hearted George as he saves his jungle friends with the help of wife, Ursula, his friend Ape and his "dog", Shep the elephant.Here, the good-natured narrator is happy to explain why Brendan Fraser has been replaced and why the special effects look cheaper: it's all a part of an effort to expand beyond the one-joke idea of a block-headed Tarzan who keeps swinging into trees.

The only (minor) complaints I have with this 2-DVD set is that the three 15-second trailers in the original series trumpeting the scenes from "next week's episode" could EASILY have been included here (AND the two still pictures preceding each program, advertising it "IN COLOR". Mild mannered millionaire Henry Cabot Henhouse III (voiced by Bill Scott) undergoes a transformation to the super-powered fighting fowl whenever he drinks his "Super Sauce". In an elaborate plot, she teams up with Ursula's obsessive ex-fiance Lyle to hypnotize Ursula into leaving George and turn his jungle to mulch! I was expecting a drawn out fiasco to get some resolution but instead found instant refund with this more than fair top seller.However, soon after arriving on American soil, Ursula runs into her former fiance Lyle Van de Groot (Thomas Haden Church) and the old trouble starts up all over again. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. Similar in format to the Bullwinkle Show, the half-hour George of the Jungle TV show actually consisted of three 7 or 8 minute segments. When a baby boy is left in the African jungle, he grows up in the company of animals to become George (Brendan Fraser), a handsome but clumsy vine-swinger.

The "Super Chicken" pilot has even more Superman-style premise and, though plenty watchable, is not quite up to par to its later shows.

A true shame, for whenever voice artists Scott, Daws Butler, Paul Frees and June Foray got together at a microphone, the results were inevitably comedy gold. He grows up to be the hunky, heroic, yet klutzy King of the Jungle, George (Brendan Fraser - Encino Man), who swings from one tree right into the trunk of the next! First broadcast in 1969 on Saturday mornings on ABC, the show only had a brief seventeen installments (which ABC kept re-running over and over for three years) which are still fondly remembered.
