I used to love watching this show when I was a kid - It came on right before the Wonderful world of Disney I believe on Sunday evenings if I'm not mistaken👍👍Man, I truly miss those days.
Those were the days, my man!
Glenn Davis That’s right! The Disney show came on after.
On Sunday night
Yes! I remember. Good memories.
Before or after "Hew Haw" or "Laurance Welk"?
Sunday night family programming was the best in the 70s, with this show and The Wonderful World of Disney.
you nailed it
And Family Classics!
Back when television had programs of substance. Such wonderful memories!
Steve CUDDZILLA when Chicago was Chicago!
When the country had values.
Rest in Peace Mr Jim Fowler and Mr Marlin Perkins.
Marlin and I went to different schools together??
One of my favorite shows as a child never will I forget it
When TV shows were wholesome. Comforting to watch this and remember that era.
I was so intrigued by that Indian logo when I was a kid. I kept asking my parents "What's Mutual of Omaha?"
I remember the Indian logo also.
Of course we know the answer to your question... It's people you can count on when the goin's rough.
😁
Same here! I remember that I would piss off my pop for asking that question.
I might have asked the same question. Turns out Mutual of Omaha is a Nebraska based insurance company.
Loved this show as a child in the 1970s! Sunday evenings, first Wild Kingdom then The Wonderful World Of Disney after it! Good times, watched with my older brothers and sometimes my parents. Especially good when we got to watch both while eating our choice of TV Dinner on TV tray tables. The old style TV Dinners, that came in aluminum trays and were heated in the the oven, before microwave ovens were in every home. My brothers and I pretended we were in the military when we ate them! Mostly though on Sundays it was Mom or Grandma's delicious home cooking. My brothers and I took turns helping out and cooking dinner weeknights to assist our working parents and later single Mom. But on Sundays Mom loved to cook a more traditional set down meal for her family. Roast Beef, Roast Chicken or Roast Pork usually.
Sunday nights in the 70's!
This is amazing. How was information gathered before the internet? These guys were pioneers for what would later follow like Nature.
While I stay in the truck, Jim will bag the bobcat while we film the fun.
Cushy job for ol' Perkins!
Marlin was pretty old. He could have broken a hip or something.
"Sharks are very skilled at surviving in deep waters because they know the risks involved. MUTUAL OF OMAHA can help YOU navigate deep financial waters, and provide maximum protection for you, and YOUR FAMILY............"
Classic parody of Marlin Perkins! 👍🏼🤣
We use to say "...while Jim gives the tiger an enema!"
We will now observe while the shark tears the underwater vessel to bits. It's an experiment to see if the shark can chew through to the people inside...let's watch..
For those of you like me (I was born in 1970) remembering these shows makes my heart smile, and ache, all at the same time. My god, what I would do, to go back! ❤😢
I was also born in 1970. I 100% understand exactly how you feel. Best times of my life. I miss my childhood.
Programs worth watching back then!❤️
Wonderful memories...I saw this show all during childhood and all through my teens, at my grandma's farmhouse.Wonderful World of Disney was on after this.Such innocence!
Same here Michelle...people have always told me that this show came on Sundays. When i was a kid, i thought it came on Saturday morning before cartoons? Whatever, those were some good memories.
Andy Wrekerr -in Kansas, those 2 shows were on new every Sunday...Wild Kingdom was on at 5:30 and Disney was on at 6:00, before prime time began.Remember those movies made for kids, like Where the Red Fern Grows, and Tom Sawyer with Jodie Foster as Becky?All those Disney movies are on DVD.Many public libraries have them.So does You Tube.
My apologies. Im in Ohio. Just didn't know about Kansas TV...Anyway really missed the show.
But i did watch the show over my grandma's house too. Damn missed those days too.
WOOOOOOOOOOOW This tv show and music brings back so many fond memories….I LOVE IT 🥰
I agree! This really, really took me back to an awesome time in my life.
Yup, we’d come home from the ski cottage Sunday afternoon, stop at KFC to pick up dinner then we’d watch wild kingdom, bugs bunny and Disney.
When t.v brought rich, educational content safe for the entire family.
I searched all over UA-cam and beyond, and the 1970s commercials I remember were never uploaded:
🎵"Mutual of Omaha is people, you can count on when the going's tough"🎵
Power Marlin Perkins!! Inside the SOS!!! Jesus Christ I love this!! I’m punching myself in the face saying ENEWETAK!!
I remember viewing this back in the classic 1970's as a kid. Love this classic show and definitely love classic 1970's.
Marlin Perkins was one of the bravest and most prolific zoologists ever!
Really? I always thought it was Jim! Marlin Perkins would narrate: Jim will now wrestle with the ferocious crocodile! Jim will now tag the grizzly bear! Jim will try and tame the hungry lion! etc......
@@alcd6333 Oh yes, Jim too. Marlin usually assisted him.
I miss the old days. TV was so much better. The family used to sit together and watch good shows.
0:31- translation: "It's cheaper to sponsor this show in first-run syndication, and we've saved a LOT of advertising expenses since we left NBC in 1971!"
the great 70's memories..
I was 16
Remember Lowell Thomas's "The Seven Seas" or something along those lines? I only got to see these in color on our neighbor's color TV. We still had a black and white and nothing but rabbit ears.
You were 16 throughout the 70's? Impressive.
FASCIST ITALIANO: nah, i didn't miss out. I was born in the early 70's. Remember seeing the real star wars in the theater many times among other flicks.
I was 8 yrs old when this episode aired followed by the wonderful world of Disney great memories 😀
This show brings back so many memories. My siblings and I along with my parents would watch this together as a family. I miss those days so much.
I miss this show always dad and I watch animals and other sea creatures doing thier thing on WCBS tv in new York on Sundays and Saturdays on wor tv channel 9. I remember having break.great Sunday dinner and watch animals animals animals with Hal linden on ABC Sunday morning at ten. thank you.
Very nice to find in my suggested videos something so unexpected. Something that gives a glance i to the past TV as presented to US public. Like a museum 😊 indeed. very nice. I hope Ill see more of these. Ty.
Wow! This show really brings me back. That theme song music takes me back to my childhood. It was a family friendly show. There were never any scenes of animals getting attacked and/or killed by predators like so many programs show on cable TV now.
I liked when the sharks got curious and came in a bit closer. One of the divers would hit it in the nose with a "bang stick" and an explosive charge would blow its snout off sending the shark spiraling to the bottom of the ocean. No, no scenes of animals being killed by *OTHER* animals lol.
Who all remembers the Mutual of Omaha ad where the man was always lucky he fell out of the window but was caught by the window washer scaffolding etc
I was 8 years old and used to see this in my country in spanish every sunday,is good to see again now that is been almost 60 years.
Ill be in my tent having a gin and tonic while Jim wrestles the Python.
Dr. Nelson sadly passed away from melanoma about 20 years ago at age 59. He taught biology at Cal State Long Beach since the 1960s
love the Mutual of Omaha theme song Mutual of Omaha is people you can count on when you are growing old...

"...you can count on when the going's rough."
I miss this show so much from the early 1970s
I had almost forgotten about this show. I loved watching as a kid in the 70s and early 80s. Oh look radioactive sharks from the Enewetak atolls nuke tests.
You go, Dr. Perkins, with your bad self. I watched this a many a day as a child. I am 47. Where does time go??
I miss this great show
Jim was a superhero.
Sunday night walt disney and wild kingdom. Bozo on school days, dirty dragon show, Ray Rayner ever 🌅 morning. I was in La grange and then Hinsdale in the early and mid 70's. I had a blue typhoon schwinn bike and life was great. Mark in Milwaukee 🧀
After all these years I just realized they used the same font for the opening as Gilligan's island
Sunday evening...night before back to school...ugh...lol
I remember a few years ago they released a Mutual of Omaha’s My Wild Kingdom for the old generation iPad & iPhone but it has since discontinued! 🦁🦊🐻🐼🐻❄️🐨🐯🐸🐵🙈🙉🙊🐒🐧🐦🐣🦆🦅🦉🦇🐺🐗🐴🐝🪱🐛🦋🐌🐞🐜🪰🪲🪳🦟🦗🕷🕸🦂🐢🐍🦎🐙🦑🦐🦞🦀🐡🐠🐟🐬🐳🐋🦈🦭🐊🐅🐆🦓🦍🦧🐘🦛🦏🐪🐫🦒🦘🦬🐃🦙🦌🦃🦚🦜🦢🦩🕊🐇🦝🦨🦡🦫🦦🦥🐁🐀🐿🦔

We'll stay here in the helicopter, while Jim gives the tiger an enema!
Since 2.020, the Native American symbol was replaced by a lion. And the slogan changed to "Defend your kingdom".
While Dan wrestles the Alligator! I shall remain on the safety of the shore
Yeah, that looks like a great idea!
I remember this on saturday nights at 7 pm and 7:30 was in search of..... that show scared me when i was a lil kid ha
Dr. Nelson looks like a twin brother for Jane Hathaway.
😂😆
Bob Johnson drove a El Camino.
I been singing this all day EXCEPT I CANT REMEMBER THE LAST WORD.
Rough.
To think they didn’t even have a PlayStation controller to operate that submersible.
interestingly, during the intro, they describe Marlin as "Doctor". he was not a "Dr". of any sort.
In a related story, there was a putative expert on TV in the 50s and 60s, Dr. Paul Popenoe, who had a couple of shows, on which, he promoted marital counseling and other things. He also was not a "Doctor" of any sort. he was a eugenicist though.. lol

Goodbye Jim Fowler.
I was 17 years old
I always watch wild kingdom with grandma on next channel.nine I'm north Carolina. believe me she a Rea shark nut. she loves watch nova on Sunday afternoons unctv- PBS channel 25.
I had no idea this was a syndicated show. I always thought it was strictly an NBC Network series. Guess that's what happens when you grow up in the New York Tri-State Area.
WOR Channel 9 had that kind of station ID as well. IIRC, so did KTXH in Houston(Channel 39).
Yes, but it was WNBC Channel 4 that showed "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom."
I thought that it came on ABC mornings?
@@DTD110865 - "Wild Kingdom" was only on the NBC network from 1963 to 1971; after it entered first-run syndication, WNBC still ran it for years.
Wild kingdom disney tv show Hee Haw me my family would watch together around our tv dinners on the old tv trays closing out the weekend before school week
The station in my area carried it for years on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. until they abruptly replaced it with "Dance Fever" around 1979. Disco sucks.
Marlin Perkins was probably only 50 years old there 😂😂😂😂
Did Marlin just call someone an atoll?
Wild wild world of anjmals and wild kingdom jesus of Nazareth and Roots classic 70s shows me my family watched together in a simpler time
I wonder if they ever solved that black doctor shortage in Chicago?
How appropriate given what Omaha (or Chicago) has become lately....(check Colin Flaherty's UA-cam channel)
my hometown Chicago IS a WILD KINGDOM!!!
Mutual Of Omaha can't save it. SMH
Only 'appropirate' because WGN was and still is a "Superstation" that could be seen all over the Midwest for sure and over much of the Contintently US; and Colin is a racist piece of illogical shit. By the way, violence in Chicago, like any other big city, has been happening forever. The City isn't even in the Top 10 Most Dangerous Cities in the US. Stay out of poor neighborhoods and you'll be fine.

1:47 looks like a fake background
I don't understand the commenters saying "This was back when TV was GOOD!" I watched this show as a kid. It was okay, but for me it was mostly just filler until the show that came after it on Sunday nights, "The Wonderful World of Disney". That's what I cared about then. But good grief, TV is MUCH better now. Including nature documentaries! Has anyone seen "Planet Earth"?
People always look back to the past a remember it being better than it really was. Ever see an old movie you thought was great as a kid and after watching it again, think...WTF was that?
Absolutely right.
This is when TV was GOOD Today it's all a bunch of HORSESHIT!!!
Animal jam play wild
The font resembles sponge bobs
Shortage of black doctors. Lmao
Why is that funny?
13:13|
Back when shit was good. Now it's noting but a fluffer market full if posers.
