Johnny Weismuller was a 5-Time Olympic Champion in Swimming! He took the STUNT of Diving Off of the Brooklyn Bridge as his Ultimate Lifetime Challenge so he Did It! To prove to himself that he was Truly Greater than the Tarzan character that he felt Trapped by in his Global Success in Hollywood... it was a 250ft Dive off the Bridge!

Saturday morning tv as a kid in the 70's was great here in the UK. You woke up, had brekkie, read your comics that were delivered with the newspaper, watched shows like Tarzan, Planet of the Apes, Banana Splits, The Monkee's, Wacky Races, Scooby Doo, Champion the Wonder Horse, Black Beauty and many many more before you went out to play all day at Soldiers or climbing tree's or plain ol' football in the roads because there were hardly any car owners. Great times but you never see kids today out playing like we had it nor the great tv shows without all the stupid CGI. Great days.
