I have all 3 currently available sets for Wild Kingdom. This one is the best. While the others tend to focus on one particular animal or group of animals, this one allows you to jump across the globe and see MANY different animals and even cultures. My favorite episode on this set was when they were trying to capture the Hippo. While it is a powerful and potentially deadly animal, it is unimaginable what it looks like to see three little men trying to move this massive beast. All of these shows were viewer picked as well! All 20 of them. Which brings me to the other part...the other sets have less than half the run time of this set. This set, including extras, goes for almost 8 hours. While the other sets are well under 4. The other sets have 10 episodes. This one has 20. My 6 year old son, my wife, and myself LOVE this DVD set. Even though this set was released a mere month ago, it is in VERY high demand. If you can find it, i suggest you grab it! Enjoy!

Highly recommended to people of all ages. I loved this show as a child and now, seeing it again I still love it. Great family viewing. Entertaining and educational. Wish we could get ALL episodes.

I first checked this out at the library. At first I thought my son would be bored with the music and photography, considering that it was done decades ago, but he was entranced with them. So he was thrilled when we bought this set. For animal lovers, who like Marlin Perkin's personality, get it. It's a change from Steve Irwin's style.
