[Paula]

Great show! Always loved his voice. I was an episode last week. EJ I sure hope the kids enjoy watching them

[sodfather]

It's amazing how far wildlife films have changed with the camera technology 

[coonhunter]

Paula, I always loved his voice too. He was a great narrator for his own show.

Didn't he get caught staging a lot of that stuff

[JALA RUT]

Loved watching that show!

[Doewhacker]

The whole collection is available to watch via Amazon if you are a Prime member. I looked after this thread was posted and found it.

Whitetails and Wolves is a great episode,, I watched Foxes not long ago and was very good as well...

I grew up with that show!! Loved it. Also that show that was sponsored by Mutual Of Omaha. Forgot the name-- but I remember Jim and just how tough he was.

Wild Kingdom. Watched it every Sunday night.

[grampy]

Loved how Marlin Perkins would narrate..........."As I sit safely in the truck, Jim stalks the lion. Watch out Jim! Those teeth and claws are sharp"!!!

Hehehe........yeah Jim was pretty tough indeed!

Undersea world with jacques cousteau.Oh yeah i hope some of you guys might remember a guy Gadabout Gaddis the flying fisherman.Some of my best memories i have are watching these shows with my dad.

[Bowshotmuzzleloader]

Another good egg was Jacques-Cousteau,,,

“Wild Kingdom”  was,just plain great ....

[Pygmy]

Marty Stouffer...Is he the guy that makes those good frozen dinners  ? Every bachelor loves Marty....

 

I grew up watching Marlin Perkins...."  Say, Jim.....Why don't you and I wrestle a 30 foot anaconda in a bed of quicksand this afternoon ? "

Then there was Steve, the Crocodile Hunter...If you tempt fate enough times, sooner or later it catches up with you...RIP....

[GreenDrake]

And whenever they darted a rhino in the @$$ he would say ‘and a perfect shot’...or merlin would be in the chopper while poor jim was wrestling a leopard. 

[Marion]

I had his wacky babies video growing up. It was awesome! Makes me want to watch it for nostalgia sake.

You Can't Beat My Meat!!!

He had a lawsuit brought against him for trespassing & filming on a (elk?) protected area by a PETA-type organization. Paid a substantial fine, IRC ~$300k! Another accusation was he staged the filming of two tame mountain lions chasing an also tame deer/elk over a cliff. Not to discredit the great, early wildlife videography he made available, but not a lot different than all the staged hunting shows on TV now!??!

[First-light]

Great show...that whitetail scene was filmed on my farm! lol

[landtracdeerhunter]

Did someone say  Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with Marty Stouffer and Jim Fowler. Now there was a good wildlife show.

Didn't Jim from that show appear on a Seinfeld Episode once ?

[Robhuntandfish]

Every Sunday was cheese and crackers in front of the tv on the floor to watch wild kingdom.  And Dad would say there's a dangerous animal, where is Jim and his big knife.  Time for a coffee break Marlin.
