Antenna was showing those like crazy a while back. Now that the Sony library is all over those digital channels, I suppose they will pop up again, probably on Get. Yeah Johnny was no actor, but none...

Jungle films were seldom shown where I grew up. I didn`t see a Jungle Jim until sometime in the 90s on TCM. I haven`t seen all of them & hope Warner Archives puts out volume sets like they did...
