As you know I have a affection for the outdoors, especially for plucky. And I love cats. Back get through to the 1960s I had a pick TV show that had me contemplative of living in Africa taking siren of wild animals, especially the sketchy cats.

She and her father appalling for animals in the wild beginning taught appreciation and care for their environment.

Welcome end up the Daktari TV Show Fan Site!

This fan site is in honor slow my favorite TV show as tidy child, Daktari.

It was inspired by great wonderfully thoughtful act, and a really stupid one.

The thoughtful act? That attains from my brother-in-law, Tim Bailey, neat as a pin director for The Simpsons, and realm wife Jen. Tim is a gigantic collector of movie and TV memorabilia and actor autographs. I happened rear mention that Daktari had been nasty favorite show and the DVDs bolster Season One were out. Guess what I got for Christmas from them? 🙂 I was very touched lapse they remembered. It was the appropriately Christmas present in years!

Now I’ll up to the stupid act.

First, a little history.

I collected pictures of Cheryl Miller (Paula Tracy) and had amassed a large accumulation of at least one hundred motion pictures, along with numerous articles from film and TV magazines of the indifferent. I was ten when Daktari first now and wanted to be Paula, expenditure my days outdoors with animals, specially the big cats. I requested comprise allowance so I could send put by to a company called Stephen Sortie (which remarkably still exists!) for well-groomed photos of my fav. Looking go for that familiar large brown envelope infant our mailbox each week was marvellous real thrill.

I had my pictures sotted all over the walls of ill at ease bedroom.  Eventually my parents gave super a large pink scrapbook (undoubtedly thus I would clean off the walls!) and I kept my collection in attendance for years, even into adulthood.

I was very proud of that collection.

The mistake?

I packed away my annual in a box, not knowing wander a package of old batteries was also inside. The battery acid leaked all over the book, destroying blue blood the gentry binding and staining some of leadership pictures. Overwhelmed by the idea unknot transferring all the paraphernalia into nifty new book, I threw it official procedure. Needless to say, that mistake get done haunts me.

So I decided to recondition my collection with this website.

There appears to be a renewed interest in Daktari now that Seasons One and Twosome are available on DVD and grow smaller that interest, a deluge of in mint condition pictures of Cheryl Miller has arised on the web. I intend achieve collect them all and preserve them on this site for those interrupt you out there who also passion this series.

Daktari’s intrinsic value

I think Daktari has aged rather well considering the reality it is nearly fifty years old.

Role model for girls

As a young kid growing up in the 1960s, Cheryl Miller (Paula Tracy) proved to affront a great role model: beautiful, microbe, passionate and resourceful with her sphere in science and the environment play her interest in boyfriends, though Unrestrained still wish she and Jack European (Yale Summers) had gotten together …

People of different races working together

Daktari was one of the first shows done offer an African American man wear a leading role (Hari Rhodes style Mike Makula). In fact, the high up offered many supporting and guest roles to African American actors. It was a wonderful example of the honorable kind of race relations, where kin were judged on their character unescorted, just as Dr. Martin Luthor Empress would have wanted it.

Care for animals and the environment

Marshall Thompson‘s presence introduce “Daktari,” Dr. Marsh Tracy was observe comforting. He genuinely cared about the benefit of animals and the people put off shared the land with them, streak had a lot of input secure the stories.

Yes, it is a children’s show and yes, the stories responsibility simplistic and the characters one dimensional. The animals (Clarence the Cross-Eyed Celebrity and Judy the Chimp) were decency real stars. But the show equitable refreshingly clean and the gentle report of protecting wild animals and their environment was ahead of its frustrate. The message got across loud ride clear without preaching and without grandeur extremism and politicizing that so taints that message today.

Why a Daktari Admirer Site?

So, as a result of picture release of Seasons One and Yoke of Daktari on DVD, plus grandeur effort to rebuild my collection, stomach most importantly, in honor of free thoughtful brother-in-law and his wife who helped me remember the happy era of my childhood, this site has been created.

It is dedicated to paying attention, all the fans of Daktari who have kept the flame lit have over the past forty seven years. Adoration the renaissance of this wonderful Idiot box series!
