When I watched some Sky King episodes years later as an adult, they were so creaky I couldn't last more than 10 minutes into the show.Duane Spurlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102074370101800708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-70149540503233248782012-02-29T08:23:05.855-06:002012-02-29T08:23:05.855-06:00I watched the JJ TV show but never saw any of the ...I watched the JJ TV show but never saw any of the movies. From the promo you ran they look okay. I also enjoyed the other jungle shows mentioned above. Didn't Andy's Gang also have a jungle series?

I did watch the Bomba, the Jungle Boy movies with Johnny Sheffield. I was also a big fan of the Bomba novels by "Roy Rockwood", whoever the Stratemeyer Syndcate had writing that series. I know now that they're supposed to be horribly racist, but as an eight-year-old sitting on my parents' front porch, that never occurred to me.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-63909662267644242772012-02-28T14:32:40.302-06:002012-02-28T14:32:40.302-06:00I also enjoyed Ramar of the Jungle, Jungle Jim, th...I also enjoyed Ramar of the Jungle, Jungle Jim, the Tarzan movies AND Bomba the Jungle Boy.<br /><br />RJRRJRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-66755595025334407562012-02-28T08:54:22.691-06:002012-02-28T08:54:22.691-06:00I'm right there on that bus with you, Jeff.
