Wild America (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A satellite global view of the lands of North America
Wild America is a documentary television series that focuses on the wild animals and wild lands of North America. By the mid-1970s, Marty Stouffer had put together several full length documentaries, but had failed to hit upon a project that was an outstanding success. At this time, he approached the programming managers at Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) about a half-hour-long wildlife show, the first to focus exclusively upon the flora and fauna of North America.[2] PBS signed for the rights to broadcast Marty Stouffer's show Wild America in 1982. The show went on to become one of the most popular aired by PBS, renowned for its unflinching portrayal of nature, as well as its extensive use of film techniques such as slow motion and close-ups. Stouffer earned $135,000 per show from PBS.[3]
The show's production ran from 1982 to 1994. The series is no longer on PBS; reruns still air in syndication on commercial television through much of the United States. In 1997, Warner Brothers released a full-length feature film entitled Wild America, which was based loosely on the biographical story of Marty Stouffer and his brothers, Mark and Marshall.
