English After Sheena: Queen of the Jungle (1955) and Sheena (1984), this series features the last versions of the female Tarzan story. In particular, Steven L. Sears, who had been a prominent figure in the Xena series up to that point, got involved in the project. Otherwise, it’s a typical series that rode the wave of Xena, and after the compact initial series, there were only a few episodes in the second series. Personally, I was more looking forward to a guest star like Alex Tydings, but Gena Lee Nolin just didn't perform miracles. ()
