Wasn't the "Science Series" listed for NBC actually known as "Bell (System) Science Series" and was a number of filmed-in-color science documentaries narrated by Frank Baxter that aired as specials (mainly) on NBC in the late 1950's and early 1960's??

I remember seeing one of them, "Hemo The Magnificent", in grade school (but not on TV; it was a 16mm color film projected right there in the classroom).

It was indeed...TVG listed it simply as "Science Series" in the listings, but there was a full page ad IDing it under the Bell title.
