Overview

Exploring is a Saturday morning children's educational series in color that appeared on NBC television from 1962 to 1966. The NBC News series, which would be nominated for an Emmy Award in 1964 and win a Peabody Award in 1963, would feature segments that mainly covered science, but would also cover other subjects, including the arts. The series was hosted by Dr. Albert Hibbs, a scientist and educator, with Mary Ritts and Paul Ritts as the series' puppeteers. Besides the Ritts puppets, the series would also feature cinematic short subjects, animated versions of famous legends, and music. Although it would run for several years, it received poor ratings, and would be cancelled in 1966.
