I know you are not going to believe me,but the first show I thought of after reading the title was Wild Kingdom..We used to watch it as a family when i was a little kid,parents were still married..Good times. As soon as I read the title I thought of it also!! Sundays nights my mother always made Chef Boyardee Pizza, us kids would sit on the living room floor eating it and watching Wild Kingdom and then Disney. My little sister would always spill her pop on the carpet and she would get banished to the kitchen. She never failed to spill it...good times...good times |

Ahhhh yeah. Flashback to the footed Jammmies with the nylon 'soles' that begged a kid to run down the hallway at a sprint to attempt a dare devil slide/surf for distance. Unfortunately, it usually ended in third degree carpet burns after a wipe-out! Also, you might get the rare break from a home-cooked meal, and get the 'treat' of one of those space-aged tinfoil covered t.v. dinners (with t.v. tray). Yes, watching Wild Kingdom was good times. |

The wily anaconda is the largest and most powerful of snakes.
That is why Jim here is going into the swampwater of this remote Amazon tributary to encounter the massive monster. There he goes into the water. Look out Jim! Look out! Even if you're not out here in the Amazon jungle wrangling anaconda, you need protection. Protection in the case of auto accident or fire. When you need protection, think Mutual of Omaha. Now, let's see how Jim is doing with that snake. I never quite figured out what was going on, but I presumed that insurance involved anacondas. |
