It helped for my childhood viewing that it was, I believe, on NBC for a while before syndication, so it was what was on before WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY Sunday evenings. By 1977, I definitely wasn't watching it so much, so much as watching COUSTEAU and THE WILD, WILD WORLD OF ANIMALS.
Here's some odd synchronicity...answering a librarian's question had me refreshing my memory of Allen W. Eckert's books...and it turns out he apparently scripted hundreds of episodes of WILD KINGDOM.

Wild Kingdom, Sunday at 1:30. Marlin Perkins. Today, he’d have his own cable channel.
I hadn't thought about that show for a while. I think you're right. Or maybe there already is a channel like that but without Marlin Perkins.
I watched it dang near every week. "While Jim wrestles the crocodile I'll retire to my tent for a small libation."
We watched it all the time, too. I have no idea why. Maybe because of the crocodile wrestling.

Synchronicity and an interesting bit of trivia, too.
