I grew up on Captain Kangaroo as far as a kid show goes. I spent a lot of Sunday evenings watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with dad. He was full of information when I had questions as he was in vet school at the time. We also watched The Wonderful World of Disney especially if there was a show about animals and dad's love of the ocean meant we never missed a Jacques Cousteau special.
I'm your huckleberry.
