[original title: "Animal Kingdom with Lorne Greene";
aka: "Animal Kingdom";
aka: "Bill Burrud's Animal World";
This series of wildlife documentaries produced over an 11 year
period -- from 1967 to 1976 -- first began as a network summer
replacement series which bounced around all three networks;
It was then offered for syndication to local stations for
the next seven years, with a combination of new episodes and
reruns of the older ones; Host/narrator Bill Burrud was known
for producing travelogues and theatrical wildlife documentaries
prior to several TV series like this one;
The original title was "Animal Kingdom with Lorne Greene" but
within 2 months of its debut in 1968, Lorne Greene was out, and
the title was changed to "Bill Burrud's Animal World" which it
remained for the rest of its run.]
