Animals, Animals, Animals
We'll give you three guesses what this show was about, and they'd all better start with "Animals."
In the days before cable brought us Discovery Channel's Animal
Planet and crocodile hunter Steve Irwin, our only windows to the world
of wild creatures were National Geographic specials and shows like Animals, Animals, Animals. Hosted by Hal Linden, star of Barney Miller, this educational Sunday morning program delivered fun facts and footage from the animal kingdom.
The show also featured folk tunes written and performed by Lynn
Kellogg, who sang about the episode's spotlighted animal. Linden and
Kellogg would also use art and literature to enlighten their audiences.
ABC News correspondent Roger Caras was on board as well, contributing
veterinary care tips.
Airing outside the competitive Saturday morning schedule, Animals, Animals, Animals survived the process of natural selection for five seasons, cancelled only when This Week With David Brinkley decided to move up the food chain.
