That and ABC's Wide World of Sports.

My grandpa used to come over every Sunday night for dinner. We'd watch WWS, Wild Kingdom, then have dinner. Then Disney and the grand finale', The Ed Sullivan Show, then bed.

  We used to watch the Sunday Disney movie with a huge bowl of popcorn, and after that was over there was usually a James Bond movie on after that we'd watch too.

 It was the ABC Sunday Night Movie that came on after, they always had something good on.

Perkins didn't get to be that old by being a fool.

"Jim, you go wrestle that pissed-off lion while I sit in the truck with the film crew and do color commentary."

Jim was a manly sumbitch though.

I remember those shows too.  I can still see my dad watching Bonanza and guffawing like crazy when Hoss would kick the shit out of some bad guy.  I miss my dad.  A lot.  And I'm 66 years old.

I remember going to the theater with him and my three brothers to watch Blazing Saddles.  I don't think I ever heard my dad laugh so hard in his life or have such a good time with us.

Sorry for the hijack.

I remember playing Flamingos vs. Maribou Storks at recess monday afternoon, because the strife between the two was featured on Wild Kingdom the evening before. I was in the third grad.

Remember when Disney would have those movies with the animals getting into adventures?  I can hear the narrator in my head as I type.  It was the same narrator for each movie.
