Wild Kingdom – Nostalgia

OK, since I wasn’t around in the 1960’s I wasn’t aware that to some people Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom isn’t a new show to all. Apparently the show first premiered back in 1963. The premise of the show was still the same, to take viewers around the world and show how animals lived in their natural habitat.

Wild Kingdom was indeed the pioneer of nature shows and could either be called the grandfather of all nature shows. The show was hosted by Marlin Perkins, and was on prime-time television until 1971 and was even nominated for a syndicated Emmy in 1972.

Watch classic video clips of the original show here and stay tuned on March 2nd @ 7PM ET/PT for the premier episodes.
