October 26, 2025 and on this day thirty-years ago in 1992, Season 2, episode 3, “Tarzan and the Forbidden Jewels,” the Wolf Larson Tarzan television series, aired. A complete list of the episodes, along with a review of each, may be found at: https://www.erbzine.com/mag74/7464.html
It should be noted that the episodes did not always appear in the order they were written and filmed. Hauser, played by James Healy, is back and…wait. He claims he’s a reformed man and none of the regulars, Wolf Larson, Lydie Denier, and Roger Taft Jr. seem to question that he was supposed to serve five years in prison. Is this five years or later? Some sources ---Amazon, for one, claim that this season came out in 1997 (in some countries, namely America, this season didn’t air until then or later and season three in 1998). Did Hauser get out of jail early for good behavior? It would be nice if we were told. If it is 1997 here, everyone is six years older? It would explain why Roger looks older, a bit? The plot involves a lost temple that contains hidden jewels.
The 100-word drabble for today, “Forbidden,” was inspired by the story and by the thought of forbidden items and behavior.
Hauser said, “Tarzan, there’s a lost temple filled with jewels. Take me there.”
“I know the place. The temple is forbidden, as are the jewels.”
“Take me or my men will burn villages. You can’t stop them all.”
“Hauser, you do understand the word, forbidden?”
“I do, but I ask, forbidden by who?
Jane said, “You mean, by whom?”
Tarzan said, “It’s not the whom, it’s the why that matters. An American President said, ‘Forbidden fruit tastes sweeter, but the aftertaste is bitter.”
Hauser laughed, “Who cares. With the jewels, I’m sure I can afford mouthwash and a new toothbrush.”
