"Ramar of the Jungle"

Back in the early 1960s, the Adventures of Superman was briefly replaced on the local Los Angeles station (I am guessing KTTV-Channel 11) by Ramar of the Jungle.

At that point, I had never heard of Ramar of the Jungle, but I watched the show anyway. One thing I did notice on some episodes, music cues used in the 1951 episodes of Adventures of Superman were sometimes used in Ramar of the Jungle. I found the show entertaining.

Ramar of the Jungle starred Jon Hall and it lasted for 52 episodes between 1952 and 1954. Like the Superman series, it was a syndicated show.

From Wikipedia:

Ramar of the Jungle is an American television series that starred Jon Hall as Dr. Tom Reynolds (the titular "ramar" being the natives' title for a white medicine man). Episodes were set in Africa and India. The series aired in syndication, premiering on October 7, 1952, and airing through 1954. Reruns continued "until the end of the 1960s."

In addition to Jon Hall as Dr. Tom Reynolds (Ramar), the series also starred Ray Montgomery as Reynolds' associate, Professor Howard Ogden. Victor Millan played the role of Zahir and Nick Stewart played Willy-Willy. Other cast members included M'liss McClure as Trudy Van Dyne, James Fairfax as Charlie, Joel Fluellen as Chaba, Ludwig Stossel as Peter Van Dyne, Milicent Patrick as the White Goddess, Harry Lauter as Bellows, and Emmitt Smith (not the football player) as Chief Bolla.

Hall created the series, and starred in it, obviously trying to emulate the then-popular Jungle Jim films.

Here is an episode that aired in 1953:

Interestingly, both Jon Hall and George Reeves co-starred in The Mutineers (1949), below:

Both Reeves and Hall died by self-inflicted gunshot wounds. To end the weakness and suffering due to cancer of the bladder, Hall shot himself in the head at the age of 64 in 1979.
