Before there was
cable TV with
Discovery Channel and
Nature there was MOWK. It was a weekly network television show in the
United States during
the 60s and
70s about animals and the behavior of animals. The "in nature" scenes were shot with scratchy
8 mm cameras, usually with
elevator music in the background. The host,
Marlin Perkins, an older gentleman, mostly described the part of the world the show was visiting that week, while his young
foolhardy assistant, "JIM" got to run from lions and wrestle the alligators.
Jim's in trouble here, since he is in the alligators home turf. Uh, oh.
Unintentionally funny
