First aired in 1963 and broadcast in prime time from 1968 to 1971, and Emmy Award-winning until 1988, MUTUAL OF OMAHA'S WILD KINGDOM was one of the longest-running and most popular television series of all time. A pioneer of the narrative nature documentary, the educational series followed the venerable presenter and ecologist Marlin Perkins (later joined by Jim Fowler, Peter Gros, Stan Brock and Tom Allen) on his travels to the far corners of the earth to study wild animals in their natural habitat.
