I have very distinct memories when I was a little kid of watching Disney and then Wild Kingdom back-to-back on Sunday nights, as the capper for the weekend.

I absolutely loved that show but I don't think I ever found anyone else who ever watched it. To me, that was must see TV.

I used to watch Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins all the time in the '60s and always enjoyed Jim Fowler's appearances on The Tonight Show.

I'll never forget the battle with the Anaconda at the 17 minute mark of this episode:

They used shots of that in the opening for years. Marlin was not a young man but he somehow survived.

Marlin was much stronger than he looked.
