It used to be a tradition, dating back to the mid-60's, and ending sometime in the 80's or 90's.
The National Geographic Society partnered with producer David L. Wolper to produce a series of primetime documentary specials, first for CBS, then PBS. However, swapping out CBS for PBS proved to be a fatal blow for the Society, as the specials eventually ended.
I remember seeing a few of these in my youth with the parents, but I'm not sure if this one was one of them. From 1974, here's "The Big Cats", narrated by Leslie Nielsen (ex-Bracken's World, The New Breed).
If you can find them on DVD, share them with your kids.
