On The Air: Wild Kingdom: Protecting The Wild (2023)

 Maybe NBC should've thought of this sooner.

Wild Kingdom, sponsored, as always, by Mutual of Omaha Insurance, marks its 60th anniversary this year, and, earlier this month, began a 2nd run on NBC, adding the subtitle, Protecting The Wild. Peter Gros, who has been hosting repeats of the original series on RFD-TV, hosts the new version. Gros had originally joined the original Kingdom in 1985, after Marlin Perkins retired.

Cosmetic changes and modern technology aside, it's the same show your parents will remember, fitting comfortably opposite similar programming on ABC. Check the trailer for the new Kingdom:


Current episodes are available online on Peacock and NBC.com, as well as On Demand on your cable system.

Rating: A.
