Television Sketches/Spoofs
A 1981 television special, The Muppets Go to the Movies, features a short sketch entitled "Tarzan and Jane." Lily Tomlin plays Jane opposite The Great Gonzo as Tarzan. In addition, the Muppets have made reference to Tarzan on half a dozen occasions since the 1960s.
In an episode of The Fairly OddParents, a spoof of Tarzan appears as "lord of the drapes," and "Lord of Shapes," instead of Lord of the Apes.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or sketches:

—Clive James (b. 1939)
“Turning one’s novel into a movie script is rather like making a series of sketches for a painting that has long ago been finished and framed.”
