That was later, though.. /I/ remember when Marlin got the dirty end of the
job, more than once... Particularly an episode in the early 60's (or so) where
he wrestled with a python in the water... that was real exciting !

I don't remember if it was Jim Fowler or if he came later, but I do remember
that his early assistant didn't wear shoes.. or something like that..

This is when it was in black and white, late 50's?

One show that helld up well, for a long time, for sure..

Another was Marty Stouffer, which still runs old clips from the 60's..

MUch better I think, than the Croc Hunter..
