Wild, Wild Life.....

We didn't know how to explain. Especially to the people back at the home office in Omaha. You see we just wanted to have a nice little show about wild animals. A nature show. Simple and family friendly. Just Marlin Perkins talking about the animals while Jungle Jim Fowler would wrestle it into submission.

It was supposed to be simply clean family fun. Until something terrible happened. Marlin was accidentally hit in the head by a coconut on vacation and he suddenly became obsessed. Obsessed with having sex with the animals.

I used to love how Marlon would sit in the boat and narrate while Jim was wrestling some Python in the mud.
