Harken back to the days of Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. It was a fascinating nature show that was really just a vehicle for imprinting the brand of an insurance company on the American psyche. Of course, there were the commercials, but the name of the insurance company was actually a part of the title of the show.
It was even cleverly woven into the show itself. Who can ever forget narrator Marlin Perkins commenting as Jim Fowler wrestled with a giant anaconda, “Jim’s probably wondering if he’s got enough life insurance. Mutual of Omaha can help answer all your questions…”
Indies Unlimited has decided to follow in the footsteps of this great show with our own, entitled, Wild Wilderness Outdoors. It’s in early development, but here is a clip from the auditions for narrator for the program. We’ll probably keep looking. Probably.
